Trying Out LiveScribe

seagers /Foter

I am trying out a Livescribe pen to illustrate the solutions to the refraction homework students worked on over the weekend. Since we are having a quiz tommorrow I thought I would not only share the solutions in class but would also share them as a pencast.

Try these links for the solutions.

  1. As a Livescribe pencast (this includes audio)
  2. As a PDF (you will only hear the audio if you are using Acrobat 10 or later)

One Last Site Update

Seems my site was broken again today. The update to the theme I was using stopped working with my updated version of WordPress. I think it is fixed now, let me know if you have notice any problems.

I will be updated course notes for SBI4U and SNC2D in the next few days.

Happy New Year and see you on Monday.

Updated Notes

I had a bit of time today and updated the grade 10 notes to include everything we have done so far.

The grade 12 Biology notes are a little bit more problematic. The formatting in those documents and the embedded images don’t want to translate very well into Google Docs so I think I will have to upload the original MS Word docs over the next little while. Also, I have decided to just give students access to the folders with all the documents instead of linking to individual documents.

One last thing. I have uploaded marks to the site but I have not yet given students their secret ID’s and login information. I will do this soon as I hope to post updated marks monthly till the end of the year.
