Hi, everyone. My name is Kal. I wanted to show you how to use the Pulse Smart Pen from
Livescribe. Basically what you do is first you turn it on. There's a button right underneath
the word "Pulse" on the pen. It will take a couple of seconds. It's starting right now.
And once the time shows up on the screen, that's when you know it's ready.
So, basically what I usually do is, the headset that came with the pen, I plug it into my
pen. The reason is that on the headset itself there's small microphones. And those are useful
for big classrooms like usually Pimentel or Wheeler or something like that in the big
lecture halls. If I'm sitting somewhere in the middle or the back, the headphones really
make the sound quality that's recorded with the pen a lot better. So I'm just going to
do that. Plug the headphones in. And I usually slide them underneath my notebook. And you
want to make sure it's about six to eight inches apart like you would if you had them
in your ears. They'd be six to eight inches apart. I just put the notebook on top and
I'm ready to go.
The first thing you do as soon as the professor starts, you know, lecturing hit "record."
And the screen will say "recording" on it so you know everything that's being said around
you is being recorded. And just start taking notes as you would normally. I'm going to
pretend like I'm in my anatomy class and pretend to be Dr. Lewis.
So, today we're going to talk about the cranial nerves. There's nine of them, one through
nine. And the first one goes to the face, second one goes to the ab, third one goes
to your legs, blah, blah, blah. I mean, these aren't accurate, but I'm just doing it for
the sake of demoing. And then she goes on about bones. There's a fibula in your leg
somewhere. I think there's a patella bone, which I think is the knee. It's surrounded
by the synovial fluid. That's what keeps it moist and lubricated. You know, moves in all
directions without any problems. And, thank you for coming. Lecture is over.
We are going to hit "stop" at the bottom of the page. So, now I have my lecture recorded
for class. Now I go back and I'm studying for the test. And I realize my notes aren't
that great. So, what you can do is simply tap on your notes from here on out and you
can re-listen to Dr. Lewis explaining things to you as you wrote them.
So, let's do a little demo for that. So I'm just going to hit on random parts of my notes
and just follow along and you'll hear me talking about those parts. For example.

There you go. You get an idea of how it works. It's really helpful when you're studying and
going through your notes and there's certain parts you aren't so clear on and your writing
is not as clear. You can simply tap on it and re-listen to your professor explaining
to you.
