Some of us have started to use them at Springfield Middle School in Maryland. I just finally got a nice notes sheet pencast on systems of equations up.

Math functions can be manipulated to allow students to move them around and explore their properties. Here's a short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et7PXdTYMv8 If you contact me I can give you a promo code so you can try it out. Our company, The Byte Works, Inc. wrote the scripting language for HyperStudio. Best, Patty HI Sue,

If you say something that you did not write out, at this point there is not a way to add a transcript to the pencast itself, but it is always possible to include a script below the pencast (as a separate document - or typed directly onto the web page that the pencast is on). This will help with accessibility issues for now. If that is what you meant, or did you mean that people can access the pencasts?

I downloaded a trial version of A-PDF Watermark (here's the link...http://www.a-pdf.com/watermark/). It allows you to manipulate the watermark by stretching the margins. It worked on the one trial I did, I'll update later if I get to try a few more. Ok I may have found a solution.

The first time without a hitch, alas the second time I couldn't align the watermark no matter what (using Acrobat X Pro). Any ideas? Thanks. This is a great idea and I’ve used it twice.
