A Smart Pen is a pen with a microphone, built-in speaker and
infrared camera that records what you hear or say and links it to what you
write and draw. I have been using mine
for several years to create pencasts for my students. A pencast is an interactive flash movie of
your handwritten notes and audio. However,
there are many other educational uses for the smart pen.
In this collaboration project, my teammates and I researched
and wrote about the smart pen. We
created an introductory document that tells about the smart pen. This is accessible to the right in Awesome Links and in the box.com folder below
We also created a powerpoint presentation that gives ideas for how to
use it. (See below and in box.com)
Also available in the box.com folder is an assessment and the summary for the assessment. (see below).
All new technology experiences problems. However, none of my pencasts have faded. Some of the older ones have minor glitches
but my middle school students tell me that they like my pencasts better than Khan
academy so I must be the one
who is smart!
