Bob Sprankle describes the LiveScribe pen, which does three things:
- takes notes on a special pad of paper
- records audio in the environment as notes are being taken
- replays the associated audio when you tap the pen at the right position on the notes
Great idea, he writes, but what happens when the teacher (or anyone else) says "you can't record me?" What are the copyright implications? Will people hesitate to speak openly if they know they're being recorded? Or even, "Are we lumping tools like the LiveScribe pen in a 'Wiretapping Law' legal category, when they should be seen instead as Assistive Technology tools protected by laws such as IDEA?" Via Sylvia Martinez.
