 | ATTENTION: Parents & Teachers
I just found the MOST AMAZING site. It's about a 5th grade class that uses PDAs daily . . . I'd never seen it before. Granted, they use Palms, not Clies, but I think what they're doing is really interesting! Lots of educational software links & good suggestions for using those old PDAs for your kids! http://www.mpsomaha.org/willow/p5/handhelds/
Cool, huh?

| Very interesting article. It seems this could give kids an interest in learning more and being more organized in their daily lives.

Yellow Rose-
Thanks for posting that! As an undergrad I worked on a research project that introduced preschoolers (3-5 yrs) to computers and helped to develop a plan for preschool teachers to follow when incorporating a computer into the classroom. People sometimes didn't believe me when I talked about how quickly they became accustomed to using a computer. This became a fun activity for them. Not only did it improve their reading and thinking skills, but also their social skills as well. Using technology can add some variety to the school day as well as encourage novel teaching methods and lessons in the classroom. I think it's great that a project like this is going on. Hopefully, we'll see it in more classrooms!

| That is the coolest idea ever! I think that is so cool how they even get keyboards to type notes and their journal entries, etc... Even though I'm 20... I'm jealous of that class. | |

| Meh, it would be cool if my whole class had PDA's. Only a few people in my school has a pda. Most don't use them much or have as nice of one as me. By the way, I'm in an elementary school  | |

| heh, if only I were younger. actually I have read another article on something similar to this. it was talking about how kids would do their homework on their pda's at night, and then sync them in the teachers computer in the morning... how cool would that be?
