Back to the Drawing Board
In a previous post I mentioned how simple the Livescribe pens were to use. I think I should be very truthful –they are simple to turn on, simple to demonstrate, simple to practice with but when you travel to an elementary school and use them with your Grade 2 buddies they are far more complex!…
