  1. THE MIGHTY MINI DOCUMENT CAMERA! COMPARING SMART PENS AND DOCUMENT CAMERAS Suzanne Sumner, Professor of Mathematics, ssumner@umw.edu University of Mary Washington, Fredericksburg, VA

  2. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SMART PENS & DOCUMENT CAMERAS RECORDING MATHEMATICS EXPLANATIONS FOR ONLINE CLASSES TO SUPPLEMENT POWERPOINTS WITH VOICE RECORDINGS OR FOR SUPPLEMENTING FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES

  3. ECHO RESOURCES: ECHO SMARTPEN, LIVESCRIBE SOFTWARE, & WORKBOOKS https://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/ 02/review_livescribe_echo_smartpen/

  4. HOW THE SMART PEN WORKS The Echo Smart Pen can be used with special notebooks to record sound together with what is written in the notebooks. The smart pen connects to a computer’s USB port, and the Livescribe software converts the recording into a pdf file with video and audio. Students can then play the pdf video to see and hear the mathematics explained, similar a blackboard or whiteboard.

  5. THE SMART PEN AT ITS BEST… Students can click anywhere to start at any place on the page. The pdfs seem to work well on students’ computers and even their phones.

  6. THE SMART PEN AT ITS WORST… Glitchy Extraneous marks Sometimes fails to record the audio Only allow one page recorded at a time Notebooks seem to exhaust their memory storage, even with many pages remaining

  7. IPEVO RESOURCES: IPEVO DOCUMENT CAMERA, & VISUALIZER SOFTWARE https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079DLTG9F?tag=bestselect edp-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

  8. HOW THE IPEVO DOCUMENT CAMERA WORKS • A powerful tool, despite its tiny size • Can project any image under the camera • Can record the video and audio • Connects to a computer’s USB port • The Visualizer software converts the recording to an mp4 format.

  9. SIR EXAMPLE ON A GRAPHING CALCULATOR: HTTPS://VIMEO.COM/340981783 • The image and sound quality of the videos are excellent. • The instructor can use the document camera to record videos of other tools, such as calculators. • Both the hardware and software are intuitive to use. • The small size and light weight of the document camera add to its convenience.

  10. TIME TO TRY OUT THESE GADGETS…. DEBRIEF – WHAT ARE YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH THESE OR OTHER TOOLS?

  11. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS • DEBRA HYDORN • Echo Smartpen & Livescribe Software • IPEVO Ultra High Definition USB Document Camera & Visualizer Software • UMW President’s Technology Advisory Council Innovation Grant, 2016. “Exploration of Echo Smartpen Applications in Online and Education Courses.”
