It was an interesting couple of days, with many opportunities to share and influence through conversations. I’ll add more at a later date as [...]

Since my post on the new Livescribe e-paper system a couple of weeks ago, I have had many teachers and readers offer comment on the  new developments.  Some have expressed interest, wanting to order it for their learners.  Others, like Dan, saw the marketing video as being quite teacher-centered.
