Background: So, I have to teach students how to use our online publishing tool at yearbookavenue.com. Every year I take the students in to the computer lab and, using the LCD projector run them through the site: how to navigate, how to find their stuff, how to create a new page, edit that page, save that page, place pictures, etc. etc. on and on. It is a lot of information in a very short period of time. Worthwhile, but sadly, quickly forgotten by the students until the time arrives where they need to use these skills.
So, here is where this fabulous product Jing comes in. I love the concept of capturing the webpage and creating quick and easy reference handouts for students on how to complete the most common tasks on yearbookavenue! It will save me having to repeat the same set of instructions over and over and over. I will now simply hand them a great instruction sheet with the information on it. Yay, Jing!
Objective: Students will understand how to create yearbook pages using yeartechonline at yearbookavenue.
Activities:
1. Students will be shown the yeartechonline product at yearbookavenue.com, including all skills necessary for completion of their pages.
2. During the presentation, students will be given reference handouts which incorporate screenshots of the website (created using Jing) and labeled with instructional information (using snagit).
3. Reference sheets will also be posted in the room to allow for student access if they have lost their sheets.

Could you then use these screencasts to teach the next year's crop of the year book crew?
