Math Anxiety Relief

Wednesday June 17, 2009

I am just crazy about a new writing tool that allows students to tap on any part of their class notes and hear the lecture that covered that topic. The Pulse Smartpen© by Livescribe is helpful in any class, but it is especially great for students who suffer from math anxiety.

I don't know about you, but I have spent a few nights staring at my own nonsensical math notes wondering what on earth they meant (even though they made perfect sense when I wrote them). I remember thinking, "If I could only hear the lecture one more time, I know I'd get it."

Well--with the Pulse Smartpen, you can hear the lecture again and again as you work through your math examples. I think this is the best medicine for math anxiety I've seen in a long time!
