Presentation describing uses for smartpen.

1. Application for Educators
Gregory S Mihalik
LCPS

2. * Smartpens capture everything
a user hears and writes.
* Notes are recorded using an
infrared tracker and computer
processer in the Smartpen to
monitor movement, while
recording audio through a
microphone.
* They provide quick and
accurate access to
information by simply tapping
directly on the written notes to
replay audio.

3. * Smartpens write on Livescribe
dot paper, which is plain paper
printed with an almost invisible
grid of micro-dots.
* The Smartpen’s high-speed
infrared camera reads the dot
pattern to record notes along
with audio.
* Notes can then be uploaded Dot Paper
directly onto a computer to view
with linked audio.

Below are some possible uses for classroom teachers. For each activity,
the appropriate Virginia Standard of Learning (SOL) is listed.
* Reading - sight word reading for practice and assessment
* Social Studies – geography and map skills
* Math – geometric shape identification
* Science – interactive science texts

13. Science SOL – 2nd Grade
2.4 – Life Processes
* The student will investigate and understand that plants and
animals undergo a series of orderly changes in their life cycles.
Key concepts include
* some animals (frogs and butterflies) undergo distinct stages during
their lives, while others generally resemble their parents
Concepts Overview
* Throughout their lives, plants and animals undergo a series of
orderly and identifiable changes.
* Some animals, such as frogs and butterflies, go through distinct
stages as they mature to adults.

14. Butterflies
By Martha E. H. Rustad
Page 1
Butterflies are insects.
insects – animals with six legs, three body parts and wings
Page 2
Butterflies hatch from eggs. They begin life as caterpillars.
hatch – to break out of an egg
Page 3
Caterpillars eat leaves all day long. They grow quickly. Caterpillars outgrow
their skin and shed it many times. A full-grown caterpillar forms a shell
around its body it is called a chrysalis.
chrysalis – the hard case that forms around a caterpillar

15. Page 4
Its body changes inside the chrysalis. The caterpillar
becomes a butterfly. Soon the butterfly pushes out
of the chrysalis.
Page 5
It waits for its wet wings to dry. Then it can fly.
Butterflies have a narrow body and four wings.
narrow – not wide
Page 6
Tiny colored scales cover each wing. They form patterns. Some butterflies are
brown or gray. They can look like leaves.
Page 7
Some butterflies have bright colors. Bright color show birds a butterfly is bad to
eat. Butterflies eat nectar from flowers. Nectar give them energy for flying.
nectar – a sweet liquid found in flowers

16. Page 8
Butterflies use their antennas to smell. This is how they find nectar. All
insects have size legs. Butterflies can taste nectar with their tips of their legs.
antennas – a pair of long, thin feelers on an insect’s head
Page 9
Butterflies have a mouth shaped like a straw. They drink nectar through it.
Butterflies lay eggs on leaves. They make sticky liquid that holds the eggs to
the leaves.
Page 10
Soon new caterpillars will hatch from the eggs.
