LiveScribe Smart Pen 3 works along
side of the livescribe dot paper to capture everthing that you write alongside
with recordings. In addition the smart
pen features Bluetooth which allows the pen to pair with tables or phones to
send the notes almost instantaneously.
Running at 149.95 for the pen
about $10 for a pack of ink the LiveScribe
dot paper notebooks run around 15 for a three pack of one subject notebooks.

This pen would be a great addition
to the classroom as it would allow the taking and email of notes. The notes
could also be posted on websites or blogs so that they are easily accessible to
all students. One of the best features of the pen is that it can record at the
same time that you are writing. After you are done you can replay the recording
by putting your pen on the paper. By setting the pen on a portion of your notes
the recording forwards to what was being recorded at the second that the part
of the note was being written. This allows students to go back on lectures for
information they might have missed while they were writing notes. See link 2
for an example. From a student’s perspective the pen would also be advantageous
because it would allow for the keeping of notes without the need to carry a notebook;
in addition the notes would be accessible from various locations. Perhaps one
of the best attributes of the pen is the ability to keep notes long term. It
would completely eradicate the need to keep old notebooks.

I like the idea of being able to record a lecture as some people need assistance for note taking.
ReplyDeleteMy physics teacher used this and it was a life saver! He would do the homework problems with this pen and post it on his website so if we did not know how to do the homework, we could refer to his annotated notes. This also helped put more class time to learning rather than going over homework since we could that before.
