How do I junlgle?

This is my worst role, I haven't touched this and when I do I have little idea what to do. I have gotten this role either at random (even though I had selected mid/ bot/ support) and when I did I always lost or got carried. My pool of champions that can jungle are:

Oh great I spelled the title wrong I am not familiar with any of them either in lane or role, so tips for someone stepping into this role for the first time would be appreciated.

disable enemy emotes
disable cross chat, if your chatting with enemy your a crappy jungler
time is money, seriously every second your not ganking something or farming something is another second you fall behind their jungler.
focus on the lanes you can gank, your top might be spamming riven / singed but lets face it outside of a few champion combos your unlikely to get a kill there let alone summoners, sure if you have nothing else to do show up to see if they panic flash but thats it.
Those are 3 very different champions drop 2 and play just the one, i'd recommend either rammus or ww to play as shyv is too conditional.
Rammus likes his runes done right, rammus likes precision secondary, rammus loves attack speed bloodline, rammus likes maxing Q a lot like lots lots.

So practice routes, take towers, and don't stand off to the side too long? Ok, and I have seen a lot more Darius and Garen in my normal games than Riven.

yes, also i wouldn't bother ganking a garen either unless they are pushed up enough and we had enough combined cc to stab him to death, darius just depends on who i am jungling with as to if he is an easy kill or not.

Disable all allied chat. Trust me.

Be a good teammate.

Be efficient. Every second you stand there in a bush painfully waiting for a gank is a second that the enemy jungler can farm more.
Take scuttle crab. It's good gold and gives vision in the middle of the river.
Take dragons. They are good.
INVADE. Keep track of where the enemy jg is. If they are on the other side OR dead, feel free to invade their jungle. It's the best cheese ever.
Help your team take turrets. They are good gold.
Gank a lot. When someone pings you better respond. Just AFK farming is gonna get your team killed.

After the JG nerfs I decided to try jungle, which became really fun playing XinZhao and Rengar a lot. Keep a good eye on the enemies, invade, drop wards, and you win.
