Livescribe Pens

1. Go to:

www.livescribe.com/install

 

 

2. Setting the pen up: Tap the i Then click left or right handed

3. Tap "set date" with your smartpen on the date and time pad located in your book. The use the keypad to set the date

For example 012512 will set the date to January 25, 2012

4. Set the time-0330PM sets the time to 3:30 PM

5. NOw we will take notes and use the audio control buttons

 

 

These  smartpens digitally capture everything people hear and write. To play back  information, simply tap anywhere on handwritten notes in a Livescribe notebook. These can be easily uploaded on a computer, mobile device, and you can replay and re-live the moment, as an interactive PDF or “pencast” direct to someone’s email, Facebook page, to Evernote or Googledocs or to a mobile device such as iPad or iPhone. The recipient can then click on the handwritten notes to hear the audio for themselves.

 

1.  Download the software that came with your pen on the CD. It will take you to the Livescribe desktop

2. Write and talk in the notebook at the same time.

3.Plug the pen in with the cord that came with your pen.

4. Name your pencast. Now you can use the embedded code to email or embed

How can I use this pen with kids 

 

1. Invite a couple of children with great handwriting who understand a concept create a pencast that teaches the concept to peers in a new way.  They writing a talk in the notebook. You plug the pen in and upload to your website. Now all the students have a review.

2. Prepare your study guide writing in the notebook using your voice. Plug the pen in an upload to website or email to students.

3. Create a master copy of your classroom lessons  for use this year and in the future.  Assign a a student  "scribe" every time that you’re giving notes in class and let them record your lessons, in the Lightscribe book. This way you create a notebook of lessons to use, a plce for review and an easy way to email notes to students who are sick or on vacation.

4. Use the notebook full of notes to have students catch up by going to the library and clicking through the lessons they missed or had trouble with.

5. Create tutorials for handwriting-Showing the proper  strokes used in Handwriting without tears.

6. Demonstrate each of the thinking maps using an example. IF a student has trouble with a type of map they can click through the book as a review.

7. Create spelling lists that you pronounce to make it easier for students to understand which word you are thinking of in an oral test.

8. Think of creating warehouses of online tutorials and recordings of classroom lessons-

Benefits of a pen over a netbook

1. Cost

2. When a great idea occurs to you, there’s nothing faster than handwriting.  You can jot your thought down, add diagrams, and let your ideas flow.  By contrast, when you need to fire up a device, open an app, fiddle with fonts, you’re interrupting your natural thought process.

3. Moreover, as a study by a University of Washington psychologist showed, the physical act of writing your idea down helps commit it to memory, as pen strokes activate more regions of the brain associated with memory and language than typing.

4. To do lists! They are  portable, fast to access, and the hassle of rewriting them can actually act as an incentive to get things done, so you don’t need to rewrite the same task day after day. TEar a piece of paper out-not tote an entire netbook or laptop.

5. Focus! Paper contains no distracting links, search boxes or pop-up messages, so Purdy argues, it allows you to focus more thoughtfully on one task at a time. 

6. Paper also has the benefit that you can flip back and forth quickly, you can spread out several documents in front of you, and you can scan the length of the document in one glance.  And if that’s not enough, another Fast Company writer recently devoted a whole post to the value and bright future of paper.

Incorporating Technology as a Teaching Tool 

 

 

 

Inservice for AnchorPoint Christian 9/27/2011 

 

 

I. Introduction to the Wiki

 

II. Using Interactive Lessons

 

III. Projectors in the classroom for Instruction

 

      A. Projector can be used in the classroom to view educational films

 

      B.  Show lesson presentations

 

      C.  Get students involved with interactive slides

   

      D. When the projector is used to display an image on a whiteboard, the teacher has the option to use

       dry erase markers to draw on the image.

   

     

Projectors can be used to teach many different subjects, from demonstrating a chemical reaction to diagramming sentences or labeling muscle groups in anatomy class. Students can use markers in different colors to participate as well. For example, a teacher may display a paragraph on the screen and ask students to mark errors on the whiteboard. After the demonstration, the whiteboard can be erased and the LCD projector can move to the next image. This technique is easier than using an overhead projector, where all images must be copied onto clear film. It is also preferable to slide projectors, which can't produce images that are as clear as those from an LCD projector.
