Jing kinda rocks
I just embedded my Jing presentation on how to install and configure the Zotero add-on to Firefox. First of all, that was crazy liberating for some reason. I have never used anything like Jing before, and I am not exactly one for public speaking or giving presentations. Once I got past the idea that I had to speak and it was going to be online for everyone to hear, it was not that bad at all. I did a lot of looking at the Help menu on Jing before I started this project because I knew from some discussion board posts that sizing was an issue when one embeds it on one's blog, and Jing's Help feature had several ways to deal with it, and they all made perfect sense (again, I'm not a tech person, so that's huge!). I saw one solution that included editing the HTML code, and I was like, well, I might as well just go crazy with this tech stuff. It was super easy - all I had to do was reduce the size to 25% of the original 1680x1010, edit the code in four different places, and I was good to go. Assignment 3...CHECK! Now, back to studying for the quiz.

I just realized from your post that I made the math much, much harder for myself than it had to be when I was figuring out the numbers to put in for the size of the video. I was doing, like, actual cross-multiplying, which I somehow managed to dredge up from seventh grade or whenever it is they teach you that.
