Livescribe 'smartpen' useful for students, journalists - USATODAY.com - 0 views

  • I like the Livescribe pens and find them useful. But as computers, they are a dead end. They're just not flexible enough to be general-purpose devices, like tablets.

Not So Distant Future - technology, libraries, and schools - 0 views

  • Because iPads deal with pdfs so easily, teachers can share out their assignments as .pdfs, either via their websites, qr codes, email, etc.    
  •   We have Google Apps, including email, so one option is students emailing their assignments to the teacher.
  • But the happiest and most powerful benefit of all is seeing all the staff and students coming together to problem solve.   Students helping teachers with utilizing an app, students sharing apps with one another, teachers showing other teachers new methods for doing things, teachers sharing with students, and tech staff and library staff all in the mix as well.
