What is it?
My SmartPen, made by Livescribe, will record whatever I say as I use it, and link that recording to exactly what I was writing when I said it.
In this course, I will use what are called Pencasts (files that include the written and audio portions of the SmartPen recording) to give you additional instruction in naming molecules, drawing molecular structures, and working with chemical reactions.

For example:
Clicking on the link, when the powerpoint is in Slide Show mode, will take you directly to that Pencast.
