I actually use a software tool called PerfectNotes. It records everything and links it to my notes, so I can focus more on what's going on in the class without worrying about missing anything. Then I can go back later and quickly play just what I missed. Technology in the classroom is a godsend, however you use it! Great ideas! I actually use a software tool called PerfectNotes.

It is a really powerful use case as students are empowered to add original ideas rather than simply transcribing a lecture. Would love your thoughts! http://etherpad.com -Daniel, COO, AppJet, Inc.

Would love your thoughts!

Twitter notes have been a godsend. In addition to getting more and better info, I enjoy the sessions more. Because speech reading is based as much on inference from the context of the discussion as on directly reading the speaker's lips, the hardest things to catch are jokes and funny throwaway lines where the humor is from saying something unexpected or out of context. What a pleasure - you'd be surprised how grumpy you can get when you're left out of the joke everyone else is enjoying. I’m hard of hearing and can’t take notes at conferences because I speech-read.

I suspect such in-class multi-tasking fits the current college generation. I watch my daughters multitask with media devices constantly, with ease. My older brain has trouble, alas.

Here's a write-up on what a prof. at Penn State has been doing: http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/article/3705/professor-encourages-students-to-pass-notes-during-class-via-twitter Check the comments--especially the one from a student in the class.
