Effective strategies for enhancing pencasts Pencasting 101 Effective strategies for enhancing pencasts

What Is a Pencast? An interactive, digital version of your lessons and audio. Pencasts allow you to hear, see and relive lessons exactly as they were delivered. Use Livescribe Connect to easily send pencasts to people or destinations of your choice. All from your paper or Livescribe Desktop.

Tip 2 Work from a script 24

Let’s Try Tip 2 – Use a Script EGG: A butterfly begins its life as an egg. When a butterfly egg hatches, the young looks very different from the adult. It looks like a very small worm with short legs. It is called a caterpillar or larva. CATERPILLAR: The larva does nothing but eat. It grows bigger and bigger until it is full size. Then it enters the third stage called the chrysalis. CHRYSALIS: A caterpillar spins a silk covering around itself for protection during the chrysalis stage. Great changes take place during this stage as the caterpillar becomes an adult butterfly. BUTTERFLY: A butterfly has four large wings and six long legs. The caterpillar has strong jaws for chewing leaves, but the adult butterfly has mouth parts that coil up under its head like a spring. 25

Pre-draw the bulk of your diagram Tip 3 Pre-draw the bulk of your diagram 26

Let’s Try Tip 3 Pre-draw diagram Label stages while reading script or draw callouts on pre-drawn labels 27

Pre-draw elements as templates Tip 4 Pre-draw elements as templates View George Washington pencast 28

Provide visual clues every 5-7 seconds Tip 5 Provide visual clues every 5-7 seconds View Basic Functions pencast 29

Provide obvious index points for navigation Tip 6 Provide obvious index points for navigation Ask yourself these questions: Is the start point clear? Do main ideas stand out? Try using outlines, bullets, stars or checkmarks 30

Keep it short – commercials not movies Tip 7 Keep it short – commercials not movies 31

Solicit feedback from your audience Tip 8 Solicit feedback from your audience 32

Pencasting Tips and Tricks Practice – consider your first few pencasts “experiments” Plan a script – what will the end user hope to gain from your pencast? Pre-draw the bulk of the diagram Pre-draw complex elements to serve as templates – smartpen turned off Provide visual cues every few seconds – keep their attention focused Provide obvious index points – make the mark first, then begin speaking Keep it short – easier to keep attention in short pencasts Get feedback from your audience – yes your students 33

In-Class Observations of Students or Teachers Capture audio linked with observational notations

In-Class Observations of Students or Teachers Code Category Description ? Knowledge-level question Requires a right answer or simple recall of facts; includes review questions (circle) Higher cognitive question Requires students to think, apply, interpret, analyze, synthesize, create, or evaluate (slashed) Checks for understanding Requires students to show understanding of content or procedures; call for summarizing, explaining, comparing + Praise or acknowledgement Students’ academic responses, actions, or products are praised or acknowledged C Correction Students’ academic responses are wrong or incomplete, and teacher corrects them G Guided correction Students’ academic responses are wrong or incomplete, and teacher guides, probes, restates (check mark) Social comments Teacher makes a social comment to a student. Even if stated as a question, a social comment is coded – Reprimand Teacher reprimands behavior • Student initiates Student initiates remarks or questions to the teacher. Be sure to code the teacher’s response if there is one (Stallings, Needles, & Sparks, 1987)

Ideas Supplied From Educators Around the World www.livescribek12.com Audio Study Guide Think-Aloud Math Problems - http://juliemcleod.org/mathcasts / Students use the Pulse pen and notebook to work their math problems as they describe verbally the math process they are using. The teacher is able to listen to the child’s process to determine any gaps in the student’s understanding of the math concept. Dynamic Dictionary – (from Eric Martini, Runanga School, New Zealand) Students write unfamiliar words in their “Dictionary” and then research to find its meaning. To reinforce their learning, they write keywords or draw some visual cues, and then use the smartpen to record audio of their understanding and meaning of the word, how it is used, and tips on pronunciation for difficult words. Students then review and self assess. Chemistry Pencasts for Student Review Dr. Daniel Stasko, a Natural & Applied Sciences Professor at the University of Southern Maine, Lewiston-Auburn College, has been capturing chemistry lectures using a Livescribe Pulse Smartpen for over a year now and sharing them as pencasts with his students.  http://danhasclass.blogspot.com

Notetaking is Important In-class notetaking is pervasive – 99% of college students take notes (Palmatier & Bennett, 1974) • Notetaking is more predictive of class performance than class attendance or critical thinking (Worth, 2000) • The primary benefit of notetaking comes from the review of notes – There was no difference in performance between students who took notes but did not review them and students who neither took nor reviewed notes (Hartley, 1983; Kiewra, 1985 & 1989) Unfortunately, conventional notetaking practice produces notes that are incomplete and ineffectively organized (Bretzin & Kulhavy, 1981; Kiewra & Benton, 1988)

Notetaking is Difficult Piolat, A., Olive, T, & Kellogg, R. T. (2005). Cognitive effort during note taking. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 19, 291-312.

Solution: Teacher in My Pocket Access to classroom instruction any time, any place, as many repetitions as needed Allows student to listen in class rather than frantically trying to capture every word in lesson – Teacher speaks at 150 words/min, we write at 40 words/min Levels the playing field Each student can process the information and take notes in their own way
