Livescribe Smartpen: Applications in Education

The following idea comes from a principal in Arizona who shares how her school is using the Livescribe Pulse smartpen.

Idea: Theater (or opera with my class in this case):  Students will be writing an opera. The opera artist will play the music as students sing their lines. Lyrics are likely to be written and given to me, and perhaps sheet music to go along with it.   Since I cannot read sheet music, I can write the name of the student, record that student practicing his/her lines with the musical accompaniment in opera class, then we can practice it at any time back in classroom I can upload it and send each students’ lines with accompaniment to his/her parents.
