Jing is new to me. I can see the many uses that can be utilized in the classroom. I could see it being used when a teacher is going to be out. A teacher could use it to leave "notes" for the students she teaches at school. Jing provides instant message chats. You can take a quick screenshot or video and post the link in your chat message.
Skype is one more tool for communication. I do not have it downloaded, but a friend of mine has been using Skype for many years to communicate with her family and friends from Costa Rica. Skype could also be used by a teacher unable to come to the classroom. The teacher would able to communicate with the students while still being out. Finally, students could collaborate with other classes across the country or world.
