If I did not have pencasting, I would hardly use my fountain pen anymore. You are quite right. If I did not have pencasting, I would hardly use my fountain pen anymore.

As long as people write legibly, it might keep the art of handwriting alive. With keyboards taking over our lives at younger and younger ages, legible handwriting is no longer as important as it once was. I’d enjoy pencasting because I love writing by hand.

Sometimes even I can't read it. So I need to practice first. I want to try a pencast but my handwriting is illegible these days. Sometimes even I can’t read it. So I need to practice first.

Polaris: contrary to what your ears do to your voice, your eyes do not distort your handwriting. However, it seems that does ot prevent people from hating their handwriting when others like it. Emily: I could not do that. I am not an inspired writer. I have to type the post first, then edit it, and then write it down. Dorothy: I will try to write as clearly as I can.

One of the great benefits is being able to write a blog post in, say, the airport, when you don't have your laptop with you and knowing you'll be able to post it later without having to type it. The only downside for me is having to make sure my handwriting remains legible. I love pencasting and plan to experiment more with it in the future.

To me, writing would be a tad less embarrassing than having my voice heard on a podcast (I like the sound of it when I am hearing myself speak, but it sounds horrible to me when I listen to a taped recording of my own voice.)

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 19:03:48 +0000 http://www.wisemandarine.com/pros-and-cons-of-pencasting/#comment-4900 I think pencasting is quite interesting, but I struggle with reading people's handwriting -- it's not that I can't do it, I just get a bit tired doing it. It takes more time to read, which can be good in that it slows the reader down and gives the reader more time to think, but it also perhaps increases the likelihood the reader will simply stop reading. So I feel ambivalently about pencasting -- and certainly my handwriting is no pleasure to look at, so I won't horrify the internet with it! But I do like the intimacy of seeing other people's handwriting.
