Doesn’t the scenario presented in the Livescribe demonstration video reinscribes a top-down mode of instructional delivery which is generally less effective than more collaborative, student centered models?
I would be interested in hearing ideas for using Livescribe tools in the context of a student centered pedagogy. At this point, I fail to see why Livescribe tools would be superior to tools, such as the Tablet PC, already in use.

all i can say is wow! im in an online class that has been discussing this issue of e-paper very much. at first i was a little hesitant because the main things brought up were simply we wouldnt use paper and everything would be done on computers. since i was going into math i didnt how completely getting rid of handwritten notes would work. i think a much better alternative to completely going to computers is this livescribe. what a great way to be able to share notes and study for a test. often times in lecture professors speak very fast and you dont catch everything. the recording pen would absolutely solve this. i love that feature. i also have many classmates that always email me asking for notes since they missed class. honeslty i barely respond because it takes so much time to type in the notes but if i had this it would be a piece of cake. as a student i would love to have this but also as a teacher i would love for my students to have it. im curious as to how much they cost?
