Livescribe Pen in Literacy Class

I want my students to be able to use the Livescribe Pen to help them read content area readings when I am not available to read with them. I made dots on paper, recorded the readings, and taped it to the Nelson Literacy guided reading. For the most part this works, however, sometimes the dots do not trigger the recording for some reason. I have replaced the dots, tested them and they work, most of the time. Students have been using this and they move on if a dot doesn’t work for them. I have also recorded discussion questions for students to discuss to make sure they are understanding what is being read to them. This is has been very helpful for me because if I am not able to see this group daily, I can set them up with the pen and discussion questions and away they go!
