Jing seems to be a realy good tool for students because they could benefit by snapping pictures from the screen to check for understanding or working on a project. Also, they could work on more elaborate activities using the record feature of Jing.
Skype is a great tool for communicating among people using this tool. For free, you can "call" anywhere on the world to anyone who is using a Skype program. I have been using it extensively and the quality of the voice is generally speaking very good. You can also have a videoconference, however sometimes the quality of the video is not so good. It is difficult for me at this point in time figure out how the students could benefit from this tool (I am thinking about second graders), however I will continue looking for an application appropriate for the students.
