Hi,

I was a Palm Education Pioneer grant recipient and have continued to use

Palms in my classroom for three years now. Go to http://palmgrants.sri.com/

to read the final report from the PEP program. Here are some addtional

resources for you from an upcoming article I wrote:

Here's some sites with great ideas for using handhelds in your classroom.

They are also a great source for support in using handhelds in an

educational setting.

Learning @ Hand

www.learningathand.com - This site is run by GoKnow, a spin off of the

University of Michigan's Highly Interactive Computing in Education group.

Click on "Reviews" for information on useful programs for the classroom.

You will also find an archive of lesson plans for using handhelds. Join the

discussion board to get answers to your questions and share ideas on using

handhelds in the classroom.

http://www.palmone.com/us/education/ - This is the official palmOne

Education site and there is loads of information and useful links. Check

out and sign up to join an education webinar to hear firsthand from

educators who are using handhelds in the school setting. Here you can find

thousands of applications that can be useful to educators. Success stories

from elementary through higher education can be found here. Some very

useful education quick guides are available for download in pdf format.

There are three sections to this site that can help you get started and keep

going with handhelds. First there is a section that will help you to

understand handhelds and make decisions on what to purchase to get started.

The next section deals with using handhelds to manage your school and

classroom. The third section deals with using handhelds to foster the

teaching and learning process. There are instructional examples from

successful classroom projects. The lesson plans available on this site can

be downloaded to view on your handheld.
