I keep a million notes on student and classroom needs, assessment findings, etc. and I have begun to lean heavily on my voice dictation tools to get it all written down before I've forgotten it all.  If you've never used Dragon Naturally Speaking, you should give the free version a trial run.  I have  the Dragon Dictation app on my iPod  and use this for making notes  throughout the day.  Once back at the office, I upload the notes through my wi-fi onto the software on my desktop for transcription.  We use it for our students with writing difficulties and also for our teachers who need to keep notes throughout the day without taking their hands off the students.  It's easy and it's accurate!  For more information on the full range of Dragon programs available, visit http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/index.htm
