I am one of those students who learns best by taking notes by hand. This partially stems from how I was originally taught and also from my own personal style. I prefer to listen to the classroom discussions and then transcribe only the most pertinent details.
I do not have any fear of technology in the classroom. I use a laptop for writing papers and updating my outlines. In fact, I make extensive use of Omnigroup and Devon technologies to automate as much as I can for my personal workflow.
Over the next couple of posts, I plan to discuss some of the tools I use to take notes and my reasoning for selecting them. I hope to hear from other fountain pen users who also prefer to take handwritten notes in an increasingly computer driven world.
