[Athen] Live Scribe smart pen issues

[Connie Hackett]

We were having all kinds of issues with the echo pens so we switch to the Livescribe 3 pens which are great. These pens work with an app on smartphones. Our students love them and we are in the process of purchasing more of these pens to loan out to our students.

Students use them to take notes and record.  They use the paper notebook and the pen to listen.  We don’t use the upload to the computer for anything.  At the end of the semester, if they request it, I will copy the pen to an audio pdf for them and give it to them.  I erase the pens every semester and we move on.

They get that benefit using the notebook and pen without Echo desktop.  The virtual notebooks are nice but most of my students buy the $8.25 3-subject physical notebook and find that sufficient.

She just registered the pen yesterday and the Echo desktop is giving her problems. I was able to archive and share her nots from my Echo desktop, but her Echo desktop will not recognize the pen.
