Workshop
Description: Handheld
computers are not simply electronic organizers – they
are fully functional computers that have a lot of promise in education.
Take a peek at how fifth graders use handhelds for reading and
writing. Learn about great lessons such as “CrossTalk” and “Silly
Sentences.” You’ll definitely leave with great ideas
for using handhelds for literacy. Tony’s philosophy of using
technology is inspiring, even if you don’t use handheld computers.
Be ready to wish you were back in fifth grade!
