We've trialed these solutions in several classrooms and we're hoping the transition goes smoothly. We're planning to use this in conjunction with large TV monitors and either Apple TV's and iPads for writing, or Samsung Chromebook Plus used with Chrome Remote Desktop. Should they want to keep the ability to write on their slides and have that be saved. We're recommending that staff transition into the use of Google Slides if they don't require annotation, and Microsoft Powerpoint We've finally announced to our teachers that we are moving away from SMART Notebook at the end of the 2019-2020 school year. We are BYOD in grades 6-12, so we are looking for the best way to share information with kids on their own screens versus one spot in the room, so that's fueling much of this change. We plan to export current Notebook files into Powerpoint and then move them into Drive so that they can be made into Google Slides presentations for the collaborative aspect. I was just curious if other districts that have successfully broken ties with SMART have encountered any snags along the way that they'd like to share? My goal is to help staff transition and make it as painless as I can. We're recommending that staff transition into the use of Google Slides if they don't require annotation, and Microsoft Powerpoint should they want to keep the ability to write on their slides and have that be saved. Moleskine is also touting 'Collaborative Ideation,' a feature that lets seven people write or draw at the same time.We've finally announced to our teachers that we are moving away from SMART Notebook at the end of the 2019-2020 school year. The Smart Writing system does have its advantages, however - you can translate notes into 15 languages and have them appear live on a screen or TV during meetings. It's also possible to digitize notes with a traditional Moleskine book, a cheap Biro and a decent camera smartphone (though the process isn't quite as seamless). You're writing on glass, but the trade-off is a never-ending supply of ink. That's still the case, though the new Windows 10 app - which joins iCloud, Google Drive, Evernote and Adobe sharing through the Moleskine iOS and Android app - does increase the value somewhat.īut by how much? If you have a Surface, the companion pen costs $100. But at $200 (and an extra $30 every time you run out of paper), it was an expensive convenience. Conceptually, it made a lot of sense for people who love paper but increasingly rely on a computer for work and collaboration. It followed a number of co-branded Adobe, Livescribe and Evernote digitizing tools. Moleskine's digital writing set was unveiled back in June 2016. For Office fiends, that should make it easier to actually use your notes as part of larger projects. The new app is a little special, however, because it will convert your charts, ramblings and doodles into a Word document. A digital version of the note is then transferred over Bluetooth for easy reference and sharing. The pair have announced a Windows 10 app for Moleskine's ' Smart Writing System,' a quill (based on the Kickstarter-funded Neo smartpen) with a tiny camera that tracks your scribbles on specially marked paper. (Heck, the Surface Book has a " Clipboard" mode.) With today's Moleskine partnership, however, the company seems ready to admit that some people still prefer paper and pen. Microsoft has long sold its Surface devices on the idea that they can double as digital notebooks laptops one minute, journals the next thanks to their detachable displays and styli.
