I got this note yesterday from my friend, Jeff Whipple, in Fredericton, Canada.
I have heard a lot about e-paper over the last couple of years, but hadn’t really seen much evidence as to the possibilities of it replacing traditional paper – until now.
You can read the rest of his notes at his blog, Whip Blog… and also view his YouTube insert of a video that demos (animated) Paper Replay.
I see this and other advances in digital learning as an increasingly widening divide not only between the individual digital haves and have nots, but a growing divide between schools that operate on personal access to digital content and schools that do not.
pretty much a school based “Amazon Kindle” type of system … the Kindle videos look interesting… easy on the eyes like paper …

Clever! This tool could quickly become a must have for a certain population of learners. Assistive digital technology. Certainly could make denials “obsolete.” The assumption that you could easily be challenged by someone who took audio notes would be a powerful deterrent!
Wow, that looks impressive. But, on the demo video it shows that the pen can record a voice from across a lecture hall. If the mic on the pen is really that sensitive, it’s going to pick up a whole lot of unwanted sounds.
Just a thought but are we becoming too innovative? It seems we are finding so many ways to do the same thing. I do like the idea of a “digital pen” because pen and paper are the most fluid device for recording and organizing information but not the best to share.
