A mathematics teacher here at Louisville is combining the math tools and flexiblilty of OneNote with the advantages of her Eno board. Her creative combination of simple tools saves her time, looks bold and clear, and gives her many dynamic choices as she moves through her day. Our other math and science teachers are learning from her!
She uses OneNote with a tablet laptop to prepare pages for lessons or specific math problems. Then in class she projects the pages and writes over them with her Eno pen. This can then be saved to her computer for later emailing or posting online. All the ink erases with one click, leaving the OneNote page untouched and ready for the next class. At the last class of the day, she writes on the page using the draw tools built into OneNote, permanently adding the markup to the page.A simple trick that our calculus and chemistry teachers want to experiment with is to project a blank OneNote page with the "paper" set to graph paper. They can use eno pen on top of the graph paper, and the left/right buttons to bring up to 5 blank boards into use. These extra blank boards can be brought back during discussion, saved/printed etc. And the eno ink is so much brighter and think than dry erase markers, many teachers simply prefer it for everything!
