Compact, affordable, and full of handy features, handheld computers are quickly finding their way into middle and high school classrooms across the country. This module introduces your students to this technology and shows them how handhelds can help them get organized, be more productive, and communicate with their classmates in a new way. Using a Palm handheld, students learn the basics of operating a PDA and explore some add-on software applications that add to this tool’s functionality in the classroom. They learn how to enter information, synchronize with a desktop computer, beam information from one handheld to another, and much more. Background information covers the history of this technology and discusses its growing use in the education and business world. This curriculum will
