Binaural Recording

– Binaural is to the ears what binocular is to the eyes

– – Stereo recording, but better– – The highest fidelity recording system available

• Far field recording challenge– – Binaural summation produces a 10dB boost…which is the perceptual

equivalent of asking someone to speak up

• Benefits of spatial audio– – 3-dimensional sound produces a strong sense of presence– – Allows the listener to distinguish voices based on location and to

selectively tune out unwanted sounds– – Note: binaural microphones are required to record spatial audio, but any

earphones can play the 3D recordings back


Dot Positioning System

• Two-Dimensional Barcode– Camera in pen tip reads 6 x 6 dot region– Each dot can have 1 of 4 positions– 4^36 = 4.72 x 10^21– Practically speaking, that’s > 7 trillion unique notebook pages

Oral Reports


Notetaking is Important

–In-class notetaking is pervasive– – 99% of college students take notes (Palmatier & Bennett, 1974)

• Notetaking is more predictive of class performance than class attendance or critical thinking (Worth, 2000)

• The primary benefit of notetaking comes from the review of notes

– – There was no difference in performance between students who took notes but did not review them and students who neither took nor reviewed notes (Hartley, 1983; Kiewra, 1985 & 1989)

–Unfortunately, conventional notetaking practice produces notes that are incomplete and ineffectively organized (Bretzin & Kulhavy, 1981; Kiewra & Benton, 1988)


Notetaking is Difficult

Piolat, A., Olive, T, & Kellogg, R. T. (2005). Cognitive effort during note taking. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 19, 291-312.


Solution: Teacher in My Pocket

•Access to classroom instruction any time, any place, as many repetitions as needed

•Allows student to listen in class rather than frantically trying to capture every word in lesson – Teacher speaks at 150 words/min, we write at 40 words/min

Levels the playing field

Each student can process the information and take notes in their own way


Our “Postings” From Users In the Classroom

“In 20 years of teaching, nothing has actually changed my teaching methods more than this smartpen. I have students who have gone from an F to a B simply by reviewing my prior lessons.”

AP Teacher of the Year 2009

“In 3 years time, I will have this smartpen in the hands of every administrator, teacher, and student in the district.”

Assistant Superintendent – NY

"The pen is a more complete classroom or an extension of the classroom ..so learning doesn't end when the bell rings"

Carly Rody, Science Teacher
