Smart Pen- Meagan Laird

The Smartpen is a combination of a computer and a pen! It turns what you write (class notes, memos, papers, etc.) and turns it into a word document on your computer. Not only does it convert written information, but it converts oral information. The Smartpen records any sounds made and you can then transfer it to your computer.

This would be an excellent tool for students with IEP's. Because the pen records what is being said, if a student were to miss an important concept, the Smartpen would catch it for them. And then after class that student and their teacher could work together to form notes the student could use to study off of.

It could also be a handy tool for teachers in the sense that it will be easier to organize ideas or concepts. It would also be useful if you are a teacher with horrible handwriting!
