With Pictello (Mac, iPad, iPhone), voice and words can be added to pictures; great potential for content areas and class summaries (trips and such). Recommend.
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! We wanted to create a place to record the beautiful language that kids use that could grow as we continue to notice great language. This looks like a great place to store these ideas, especially when wall space is always at such a minimum.
Livescribe (reviewed positively in NY Times 8-19-10) allows the writer to take notes that are translated to computer; can also record and play back. Lots of potential, though a bit pricey (around $200--probably will come down, if we are patient!).
I searching through our old posts and found this one. The pens have come down in price, I bought one last fall ($100). My principal also bought a dozen or so with multiple paper packs (an educator bundle). I am using them in the fourth grade tier 2 intervention group for fluency. The students use them to record their reading, then they can listen to them selves to determine expression, monitor their time, and answer comprehension questions (again listening if they need to). I use them in 6th grade for literature circles. The students initial when they talk, so I can go back and tap their initials and evaluate their questioning/discussion. Some of my teachers use them for running records to share with other teachers and parents too.
