A Pen that Records the Lecture While You Take Notes

Sometimes technology distracts us from learning; other times, new technology provides tools that can help us learn.   The Livescribe smartpen is an intriguing tool that might be useful for some students.  Using the pen, a student can record a lecture while taking notes; after the lecture, the student can tap on a section of the notes to hear what was being said when those notes were written.  Notes and audio can also be downloaded to a computer via a USB connection.
