The Wow-Pen was introduced to the world in the IT Channel USA conference in 2007.  The Wow-Pen serves as both a wireless digital pen and mouse.  It has many functions , such as the capability to capture and display on a person’s computer handwritten notes or signature.  Also, when it comes to e-mails or instant messaging, people can draw or write notes to one another using the pen.  In addition, the notes written with the Wow-Pen can be transferred to text. 

The Wow-Pen can really help in teaching a class or in education in general.  Now, teachers can use PowerPoint notes or internet information and have the capability to write on it while lecturing.  For example, a teacher is teaching his/her class about volcanoes.  The teacher had created a PowerPoint slide about the parts of the volcano and was projecting it onto a screen for the class to see.  As he/she talks about the magma flowing up towards the top of the volcano he/she draws arrows to show the movement.  Once at the top of the volcano, he/she writes on the screen that the magma is now called lava.

Besides the practical uses in the classroom lectures, teachers can use the Wow-Pen to transfer their handwritten notes to text on the computer for future use.  The Wow-Pen also presents another way that teachers can record grades.

Students themselves can use the Wow-Pen as well.  Not only can they transfer their own notes from handwritten to text, but they can also use it to write an essay or homework assignment if they are not very good at typing.
