Oxford Paper Show


This morning in our team meeting we had a demonstration for the PaperShow. This is really an interesting idea, which could help in education. It is basically interactive paper which is designed with a unique pattern to enable transmission of your handwritten notes. It will all low to make annotations in PowerPoint and act as a digital flip chart.
The pack comes complete with the Bluetooth Digital Pen Bluetooth USB and the digital notepads and printer pens the package starts from about £117.00 paper can be purchased extra.
You will need Bluetooth either on your PC or Laptop to use this equipment. However there advantages to education are vast. This could help with the classrooms which have very little in the way of IT. It may be useful to leaner's who prefer to write rather than type or for visual learners.
There is a cost implication for the paper refills however the advantages have in my opinion would far way the cost of the paper.

This is fascinating.
I’d been taught that left-aligned labels are preferred, to support the prototypical F-shaped eye-tracking heatmap of web browsing. The idea is that it supports easy vertical scanning.
