[Athen] Math Talk and Math Pad

[Gaeir Dietrich]

One of our CCCs had a student (quad, I think) use MathTalk with Scientific
Notebook (and Dragon, of course), and it apparently worked out extremely
well. Unfortunately, I have heard of more failures than successes-although
not because of the technology! In my experience, it helps if the student is
already a proficient Dragon user. When a student tries to learn Dragon and
MathTalk and Scientific Notebook all from scratch, it requires real
dedication and extreme patience.

 

I have not used MathPad, but I believe it's just for arithmetic. Scientific
Notebook handles higher level math.

 

Good luck!

Hi again, 

 

Is anyone using MathTalk and MathPad successfully with students in college
level math courses?  If so why, and if not why?

 

Ron
