Abstract

A talking notebook with projection includes a notebook that allows a user to take notes and press on a page to have words read aloud and a screen which is able to be used in conjunction with the notebook. The screen is able to be embedded with the notebook, or the screen is a separate device such as a tablet. The screen is able to play videos and provide other interactivity with the notebook. The talking notebook is also able to project content to a board such as a digital classroom board. By projecting content to a board, the content of the talking notebook is able to be shared easily with many people.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a. a digital board configured for displaying content;

b. one or more student devices configured for communicating with the digital board; and

c. a teacher device configured for communicating with the digital board and the one or more student devices.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the teacher device is configured to send a command to the digital board, and the digital board is configured to send a second command to the one or more student devices to retrieve a page of notes from the one or more student devices to the board.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the teacher device is configured to send a command directly to the one or more student devices to retrieve a page of notes from the one or more student devices to the digital board.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the teacher device is configured for pulling information from the one or more student devices and sending the information to the digital board.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the one or more student devices are configured for sending and receiving the content to and from the digital board.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the teacher device is configured to enable the one or more student devices to have access to the board.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the teacher device displays icons representing the one or more student devices.

8. The system of claim 7 wherein each icon of the icons includes an image of a student.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein the teacher device is configured to send information to the one or more student devices.

10. The system of claim 9 wherein the information sent from the teacher device to the one or more student devices is locked so that a student is not able to edit the information.

11. The system of claim 1 wherein the one or more student devices each comprise:

i. a notebook;

ii. a portable computing device;

iii. a cover configured for receiving the notebook and the portable computing device; and

iv. a smart pen configured for writing physical content in the notebook and simultaneously sending information to the portable computing device so that digital content equivalent to the physical content is stored on the portable computing device.

12. A method of utilizing a digital board comprising:

a. accessing digital notes stored on one or more student devices using a teacher device; and

b. displaying the digital notes on a digital board.

13. The method of claim 12 further comprising sending a command from the teacher device to the digital board, and sending a second command to the one or more student devices to retrieve the digital notes from the one or more student devices to the board.

14. The method of claim 12 wherein further comprising sending a command directly from the teacher device to the one or more student devices to retrieve a page of notes from the one or more student devices to the digital board.

15. The method of claim 12 further comprising pulling information from the one or more student devices and sending the information to the digital board.

16. The method of claim 12 further comprising sending and receiving the content to and from the digital board using the one or more student devices.

17. The method of claim 12 further comprising enabling the one or more student devices to have access to the board.

18. The method of claim 12 further comprising sending information to the one or more student devices from the teacher device.

19. The method of claim 18 wherein the information sent from the teacher device to the one or more student devices is locked so that a student is not able to edit the information.

20. The method of claim 12 wherein the one or more student devices each comprise:

i. a notebook;

ii. a portable computing device;

iii. a cover configured for receiving the notebook and the portable computing device; and

iv. a smart pen configured for writing physical content in the notebook and simultaneously sending information to the portable computing device so that digital content equivalent to the physical content is stored on the portable computing device.

21. A device comprising:

a. a transmitter/receiver configured for receiving digital notes stored on one or more student devices; and

b. a display configured for displaying the digital notes.

22. The device of claim 21 wherein the transmitter/receiver is configured to receive a command from a teacher device and send a second command to the one or more student devices to retrieve the digital notes from the one or more student devices.

23. The device of claim 21 further comprising a mechanism to grant or deny access to the board.

24. The device of claim 21 wherein the one or more student devices each comprise:

i. a notebook;

ii. a portable computing device;
