Case Studies & Customer Stories
- The presentation below was presented at NETA 2011 by Cathy Frank of Engaging Technologies and Stacy Sykes, a middle school math teacher at Beatrice Middle School in Beatrice, Nebraska.
Stacy purchased her first Livescribe smartpen at NETA of 2010 and posts regular classroom lectures to her class website.
You'll have a great time hearing how the Livescribe smartpen met a need that Stacy was facing with notetaking in her classroom and her experience with the smartpen in her classroom...
Big thanks to Jill Novicki (another experienced Livescribe user) for taking super notes during our presentation! (I forgot to get the pen to our notetaker at the beginning, so we did miss introductions in the pencast.)
