Mango Language - Language Learning Center

Jing_Video_for_Pirate_Language Jing is a great tool! I loved using it and found it easy. Before creating my Jing video, I first needed to download Jing application to my laptop. The next step was to begin exploring how to operate Jing. I did this by opening the links posted in Module 7. After exploring Jing for a while, I began practicing, over and over until I got the feel of it. Similar to creating podcasts, getting it perfect is difficult. I have a couple of ooops in mine. Then I did several test runs on creating my screen cast video. I think Jing screen casts are a great way to instruct patrons on a variety of library services including how to use the online catalog by visually walking them around the website. Having the pause button while creating the video is important and I utilized it often. The first couple of attempts I found that I was narrating too slowly, but at least hearing my voice wasn’t as much of a shock for me as when I created my podcast. I selected a library program available at Sarasota Public library called Mango Online Language available from the Sarasota County Public Library’s electronic resources. Mango Languages online are a great free resource that include over a dozen different languages to explore. For this screencast I chose the “Pirate” language for fun. Ahoy Mattie!!
