Description:
Palm™ and Pocket PC™ handhelds aren’t simply organizers—they
are fully functional computers that can run a variety of software
applications! In fact, they are a great way to put a computer in
the hands of every student. Classrooms all over the world are using
handhelds for teaching and learning because of their low cost, portability,
ease-of-use, and versatility. However, Tony Vincent has other reasons
that he and his students love handheld computers in their school.
From time saving software for teachers to creative ways to teach
parts of speech, learn about how handhelds are great for teachers,
students, and learning.
