Livescribe pencasts fade into history

Well, I knew it was coming. The lovely Livescribe 'pencast' seems to be fading out of existence. The ability to combine text and audio so simply, the 'invisible man at the chalkboard' as a teaching tool is getting disconnected.  I must admit that I have moved over to Youtube screen capture videos for my classroom activities (when I had a job), but the ability to point students to 'saved' lectures was a very useful tool.

I will likely NOT be taking down the old lectures since it screws up Bloggers dates. Apparently there is a way to convert them into a type of PDF document, but I will need to test it out and see if it is suitable.  I have been considering new ways to organize some of the classes, particularly Chemistry for Life Sciences (GOB, Nursing Chem) more in line with modeling instruction, so there may be new posts soon. After I find a job that is.
