cool i want that pen
That seems really interesting.
However, I wonder how will the student learn if she/he just rely on the ‘Learning Pen’ we call it. Otherwise, technology now a days seems improving day by day.

i need it
Wow that’s amazing.
I wonder when it will be in store. and even when it does get in store it will probably be like $100.
Still really quite cool
I think thats really cool!!!
Personally I don’t really need that pen because I’m one of the top spellers in my class (not to boast about it) but it would actually be pretty cool to have one!
I’m good at spelling, but it would be still awesome to have that pen!!! 🙂
that would be cool to have in a classroom
