Changing How Teachers Deliver Instruction and Students Process Class Information

Livescribe Inc. debuted its award-winning Pulse smartpen and mobile computing platform to administrators and educators at the National Educators Computer Conference (NECC). The Pulse smartpen is a computer in a pen that captures everything a person hears and writes and syncs the notes and audio together. Administrators, teachers and students alike can simply tap on their handwritten notes with their smartpen to hear the conversation play back from that exact moment in time.

The notes and audio can be transferred to their computer for backup, search, playback or sharing. This simple-to-use technology provides students with on-demand access to teacher instruction and enables school administrators and teachers to evaluate classroom performance, teaching quality and student progress efficiently and accurately.

“The most effective educational technologies are the ones that require minimal behavioral change on the part of the teacher and the learner,” said Byron Connell, chief marketing officer of Livescribe Inc. “Pulse is as intuitive to use as regular pen and paper with all the power and functionality of a computer.”
