What Is a SmartPen?
It's a pen. It's a computer. It's both! A smartpen allows you to capture your writing (or drawing) while simultaneously recording audio. When you are finished, you can actually tap anywhere on the written page, and the audio will play back from whatever was being said at that exact point. Save the entire "pencast" to be used wherever you like - post it on the web, in a blog, on your course webpage ....wherever you want!
