23. Tip 2
Work from a script 24

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

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

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

49. Ideas Supplied From Educators Around the World www.livescribek12.com
Audio Study Guide Think-Aloud Math Problems /
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.

51. 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)

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

53. 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
