I found this short article about a digital pen that uses a USB flashdrive to transfer handwritten notes into typed documents very interesting. I was aware of tablets to do this, but a pen that is used on regular paper was a new idea for me and very intriguing. I have many students who retype their notes. While many do this for retention of ideas, there are some that do it for improved readability. We had a special needs student who had to dictate all their papers and tests to a volunteer, and I am thinking this would have been a wonderful tool for this student. Unfortunately, he graduated, but at least I know of it now in case the need ever arises again!
