Greetings!  

 

Congratulations to Anthony Walters Sr. from Baltimore City Public Schools for winning the November Pulse Smartpen grant! Walter is going to use his smartpen to record professional development workshops and make them accessible to teachers learning about assessment. Enter the December grant - applications due by December 17, 2010. 
Make-up Spelling Tests
Spelling TestAre you spending too much time administering make-up spelling tests for absent students when they return? With your smartpen you can record yourself giving the spelling test to the whole class while just writing the question number on dot paper. Slip the page into a sheet protector and let your absent students listen with the earbuds when they return.
Online Learning Tutorials

Echo TransferPencasts can enhance an online course by offering interactive videos of the handwritten notes and audio. Teachers can develop mini-tutorials that walk students through a problem or process as if they are talking one-to-one with a student. These pencasts can be embedded into the webpages of an online course.

Paper Tablet is Here
Paper TabletUse your Echo smartpen as a mouse and turn your dot paper notebooks into an extension of your screen. Once connected to your computer via a micro-USB cable, Echo can be used to mark up slides, presentations, PDFs, documents, and spreadsheets quickly and easily.

Contact me to purchase after reading more about it online.
