Livescribe

Personal Project (create a Pencast using Livescribe):
====﻿For another of my own personal projects, I decided to create a Pencast using Livescribe. In class, we watched several examples of various pencasts, some good, some really bad, and one that was even done by a student. I figured that if a student can figure this program out, then I should be able to too! Therefore, I chose to create a pencast in order to explain my solution to a Challenge Problem from Math 205. The problem I chose is:==== ====﻿Three candles of equal length were all lit at 11:00 pm. The first candle takes 12 hours to burn out; the second takes 8 hours to burn out, and the third takes 6 hours to burn out. Explain your answers to the following questions.====

I chose this problem because it has multiple components and because I thought it was easiest to solve using a visual representation.
====﻿I had a lot of fun creating this pencast, but I wish there was a way to "spice it up" a bit more, instead of just hearing my mundane voice. For its purpose, however, the pencast seems to be quite efficient and very user-friendly. Once I become a teacher and have a classroom of my very own, I would love to be able to use this technology in my classroom so that I can post solutions to difficult math problems on the web so that my students can easily access them. ====
