She uses it to simultaneously take notes and record lectures. If she gets too overwhelmed/tired to take notes she can just draw a star and keep the pen recording audio and fill in notes later on when she has more focus. Then when she is looking at her notes later she can just tap the star to start the audio playing back from that point.<br />You can also get stickers that you can tap to have an audio clip played. I saw a video of a kindergarten class using them. They tapped a word on the word wall and the pen read the word to them.<br />The website has tons of information. http://www.livescribe.com/en-us/smartpen/echo/Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684346028680669692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798368475920876945.post-41379601122624991752011-09-23T21:32:45.867-04:002011-09-23T21:32:45.867-04:00Can either of you explain more how you are using t...Can either of you explain more how you are using the echo pens?Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513289226118469583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798368475920876945.post-35989433070856766692011-09-23T12:44:46.197-04:002011-09-23T12:44:46.197-04:00I clicked through from google reader to tell you a...I clicked through from google reader to tell you about the smart pen.

They are pens which have a small video camera near the pen tip and a microphone at the top so you can record audio to accompany any thing you write or draw. Although they were originally designed for student note taking I have found it to be invaluable in my speech & language therapy practice.cmf-slphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420191859235261747noreply@blogger.com
