Livescribe Pilot On-site Training

This Thursday, only two weeks after joining the Livescribe Sky pen pilot program, we had 50 SKY pens in the building along with Janet Sankar, an education specialist from Livescribe.  Janet worked with me to help the kids set up their pens.  We learned as we went along, our second class of kids was much smoother than the first.  What made the big difference? Janet preloaded the spreadsheet with the kids names.

We trained the kids in the computer lab.  I was able to work on capturing the sessions with the camera.  I had to create a helper aid because the day after Janet leftI still had 1/3 of the freshmen to run through the pen setup.
IO hosted a parent info night and Janet was great with explaining to the parents how the pen works and I got to share some of the goals of our program.  You can watch most of the program here.
