Smart Paper and Cursive Writing

I heard that Carnegie Mellon has developed a prototype for a new Cursive Handwriting Training Program that takes advantage of the Smart Paper feature of Tablet PC's. Although I have not seen it yet, I understand that it is an elegant program that invites K - 12 students to improve their cursive handwriting. In spite of the preeminence of keyboard input in upper grades, I, for one, think that there is still a very important place for cursive writing in our educational system. As soon as I know more about this, I'll post more.
