Have you seen the Pulse Pen? It will revolutionize the way you and your students take notes. Imagine attending an algebra class. The teacher shows you a problem on the board and explains how to solve it. You record the problem in your notebook as the teacher talks.
That night you sit down to do your homework and need a little help. You pull out your Pulse Pen and your handwritten notes. As you look at the problem in your notebook you can tap the page next to the problem and playback exactly what the teacher was saying as she was going over that part of the problem.
Then you can upload your notes to your computer, so you and your friends can see and listen to them. Great, huh? How does it work? The pen has a camera in it and a special recording device. It takes pictures of what you are writing. You need to write on special paper coded with teeny, tiny dots. You can buy the paper or print it off your printer.
Although I have yet to play with the pulse pen myself, I felt the need to write about it. What a great tool for students! As a former special education teacher, I can’t help think that this would be a useful tool to fill in the gaps for all learners.
