The uses for Jing could be endless, limited only by imagination. I could see it being used for a segment when the teacher is out and a substitute is teaching the class. This segment could be the teacher repeating the classroom procedures and expectations. The students would be reminded that their regular teacher is still in control and expects the classroom to run as usual. The teacher could use it for 'calendar' leaving built in time for the students in the classroom to answer the questions that the teacher asks.
Along the same lines, using Skype, a teacher unable to come to the classroom (slight injury or jury duty, etc.) would still be able to communicate with the students. It would be wonderful for classes across the country or world to become web pals. This could be monumental in understading other cultures.
