More Livescribe Pen Ideas…

“I use it when I confer with students and then I email it to their parents so they can hear what kind of questions I ask and things I'm looking for.”

“I've also used it with students that struggle with getting their writing ideas down on paper. These students would simply sketch or draw their ideas while talking it out. Later they would play it back and organize their writing from it.”
