Abstract:
From the first parchments to the present, paper is a constant in the history. The importance of handwritten notes are similar and it is a constant during centuries. Pen and paper are still the main tools used by pupils in class for several good reasons: pen and paper are cheap, flexible, easy to use, and not distractive. But with the irruption of smartpens in the technological market, the vision of the handwriting in educational systems can change. These devices allow students to take notes or draw schemes while simultaneously recording classroom lectures or discussion. And, at the same time of the handwriting or later, all drawings, sentences, calculations, and what student has done with his smartpen can be sent to the teacher's computer and saved in a file. We present a comparison of technologies and characteristics to be used in a classroom.
