Digital pen records notes, audio during class

Some teachers are using the Livescribe smart pen, which allows students to record classroom lectures while they take notes. After class, students then can touch the pen to paper specifically designed for the pen and listen to the audio that went along with that portion of the lesson. Janice Crowley, a science teacher, said she used the pen to help a student review coursework on the weekends, when he might have forgotten the original lecture. The technology also allows teachers to monitor whether students access the recorded information. T.H.E. Journal
