Ideas for using Pulse Pens in the classroom. Groups E/F:

Elementary || High School || Universal || Cut out squares of the notebook paper, attach to flashcards and record words; students touch square to self check ||  || Prerecord directions for an assignment to be given while you are out. Upload to your site. Students can access and you are assured that directions were given accurately. || Progressive story activities ||  || Have a student take notes and record. Then upload for absent students. NO one misses anything, ever! || Group collaboration activities; each group can have a different colored notebook to maintain throughout a period of time ||  || Students could create their own lab practical "stations" (such as a dissection) and label the pins to identify the structures. They could also record their information for the function of the part and why it belongs to the body system it belongs to. Leave pens at stations and students can rotate through the various stations. || Set up centers for various lessons ||  || Create a report card template so you have the hard copy for your records and you also have audio to further explain the results to administrators and parents. || Use the notebook as a script for Reader's Theatre so the students can practice the dialogue while improving their comprehension and fluency skills. ||  || Help struggling leaders to acquire necessary vocabulary.. || Create a sight word list so the students can use the audio for assistance. ||  || Record detailed lesson plans for a substitute, then email them in! You can usually talk faster than you can write anyway! || Create a report card template so you have the hard copy for your records and you also have audio to further explain the results to administrators and parents. ||  || Create "talking tests" or study guides - would be great for using with students who were absent || Record a running record with your written notations and audio. ($1.99 app on LiveScribe's site will also give you a timer!) ||  ||   || Record students' book reviews and paste into the books directly so students can listen to the review when they browse through the book. ||  ||   || Students can record their own think-alouds while reading or working through a math problem. They can play back the recording when the teacher is ready to conference with the student. ||  ||   || Use the PulsePen notebook to write anecdotal notes about students and record further details or examples to attach to the written notes. ||  ||   || Record students' literature circle or book club discussion along with their discussion group notes. ||  ||   ||
