Pricey But Worth It
- Smartpen by Livescribe: This is a favorite tool for math class. Students always seem to "get it" when a math teacher lectures and works out problems, but then they "lose it" when they sit down to do math problems on their own. The Smartpen enables students to record a lecture while taking notes. The pen will enable the student to place the pen tip on any word or drawing and listen to the part of the lecture that was taking place when those notes were recorded.
- Post-It? Easel Pads: This item is useful for brainstorming, but it's a little pricey. It's basically a pad of giant sticky notes that you can put on a wall or any other surface and cover with a mind-dump of notes, list items, ideas, or anything else. This tool is great for study group brainstorming sessions.
- Laptop Computer: You will have access to computer labs on campus, but a laptop computer will free you up to do your work anywhere.
- Printer/Scanner: If you can afford to have a own printer in your room, be sure to get a printer with scanning capabilities. Scanners can be used to create study guides from your books.
