Make a "Pencast" of your work...

You may have heard of the Livescribe Echo Smartpen, but did you know you can also upload your work to the internet, as a "Pencast?"

People can see you writing, hear you talking--and the page is navigable--people can click to jump to different parts of your writing, and the audio is synchronized automatically!

What a great way to walk students through an alegebra problem, a scientific diagram, the Spanish subjunctive verb chart...

Want to try a Livescribe pen?
The Office of Innovations in Teaching and Learning has a few for short-term lending.

They are approximately $169, require special paper (you can print your own) and are simply amazing.

Using an MP3 Recorder

Did you know you can easily create audio lessons or record your entire lecture, then upload it to the web?

MP3 recorders are less than $100, are simple to use, and many have a built-in USB connection--just plug into your computer and upload.

The Office of Innovations in Teaching and Learning has a few Sony models for short-term lending. Let us know if you'd like to try one out!
