 * ====** What is a smartpen? How is it being used in education? **====
 * 1) It has to be turned on to capture writing
 * 2) To capture audio you have to press record and the audio is attached to the writing
 * 3) The pen does not recognize handwriting, it records based on how you are rolling over the dots
 * 4) Each pen can capture 200 hours of audio and 3200 pages of writing
 * 5) Earbuds: Why would it be advantageous to use the ear buds?
 * Don’t have to be worn in hear, can be draped around shoulders
 * Filtering mechanism to adjust to the size of the room – setting for lecture hall will filter out ambient noise.
 * Higher quality sound with the earbuds – stereo. Without earbuds device records in mono
 * 2 settings – lecture hall & conference room
