Meet Rob Zdrojewski. He's a Technology Teacher and Director at Amherst Central Schools in New York. In those parts he's also known as Rob Z. a.k.a. the "King of Jing", but he's also involved with many projects and technologies. One you might want to check out is Amherst Tech TV!

Recently Rob had small groups of students use Jing in conjunction with an IPEVO webcam. (This is similar to a document camera or ELMO if you are familiar with those.) The students reviewed a piece of educational software for mobile devices.

The camera uses a USB cable and displays the iPhone (or Blackberry) on the computer monitor. The students record the computer screen and thereby capture the device's screen.

I thought the quality of the webcam was outstanding, and I thought Rob had a creative idea here. I could see recording paper documents and giving feedback, drawn math problems, specimens in biology, and so on.

Great work students! Here's one example below. And you can view all of them in Rob's Screencast.com folder. I think I'm going to get a couple of these for my kids to use!
