Jing is going to be a valuable tool to help teachers satisfy the ISTE NETS standards. One of the standards for teachers and students is to promote exploration and research, Jing and other tools help to capture those results in a more creative way. Creativity is another standard, with the right prompt and a little imagination the possibilities are limitless, add some cool tools like Jing and Skype, and students have new motivation for learning. Communication and Collaboration is another standard, that has great potential on many levels, not only does it allow students and teachers to communicate with others but it could also be used for peer review scenarios of  projects. The research aspects should help students to narrow search options and also find new ways to search for data, it will also give librarians a opportunity to teach students about data bases vs. web searches and why data base searches are more reliable.
