We’re thrilled to be at FETC 2013 this week, or the national Florida Educational Technology Corporation conference, one of the largest K-12 edtech conferences in the country. We’re also pleased to announce our new Smartpen Education Bundles and customized training programs for educators and students as part of qualified institutions so that we can offer savings to K-12 and higher ed institutions.

To use, simply download the Helper app and use your smartpen’s micro-USB cable as an alternate way to sync to Evernote. …
