Pencast

The new livescribe pens are making their way across the country.  Very few classrooms have them and current graduate courses are now offering classes in livescribe (and even giving away free livescribe pens to those who attend).  As just in their infancy there is little about the pencasts in mathematics.

• You can upload pencasts as a teacher as given homework.
• Students can upload pencasts for daily assignments or even quizzes.
• Pencasts help ELL students by not only repeating the sentence in English, but also in Spanish as well.
• There is a wide range of applications and settings you can use this for in mathematics.

Featured here are current applications and techniques used for incorporating mathematics into livescribe pens called, Mathcasts, Livescribe, and featured below is a current math teacher using livescribe pens in her classroom.
