Free Icebreaker Available and the Tribulations of Technology

New Technology: Jing a-ling-a-ling

We have a free icebreaker exercise on our website. It’s called the ‘Heart Image’ and is great for trainers, facilitators or anyone working with groups.

But before I give you the lowdown on how to get it, you’re going to have to listen to a story about a man named Jed who barely gets technology into his head. It seems”Jed” decided to create a web video today with a new service called Jing so he could tell people about a free resource on his website. This has great potential for trainers, facilitators, consultants, and a whole host of others I’m sure.

I came across a comment on a blog post by Alex Miller, who comes from a land down under. Alex is into training and technology.

In her comment she gives a link to a web video she created using Jing. In it she explains how she uses NetVibe to organize her blogs, etc. Her video is well executed and very professional. This is the link. http://www.screencast.com/t/o2dypTvgWQr

So I thought ‘This is great, I’ll create a Jing video for our free Icebreaker, the ‘Heart Image’. Easier said than done. Six hours later, and I have something to show you. I won’t say its ‘professionally done’, but I think you’ll be able to understand the value of Jing for trainers, facilitators, etc.

Here’s the link to my (I mean Jed’s) Jing video and How You Can Get Your FREE Icebreaker Exercise, The Heart Image. Did I say free? What’s wrong with me? I’m a capitalist.

Thanks Alex for the inspiration! Did it take you all of 20-30 minutes to put it together? Please tell me it was at least that long even if you have to tell a little white lie.
