| All aboard! Find some traveling
partners and cruise through the web resources listed below. At each
location, you will discover new and exciting things about handhelds and
education. Use a Word document or the memo pad to keep your scrapbook
of information as you sail along. When your journey ends, you will beam the
scrapbook to the instructor. Bon voyage! |
 |
The first stop is the Project M3 handheld web
page. As you explore, ask yourself what are advantages that handhelds have
as a technology tool in the classroom? Any new advantages you can think of?
Take me to the
First Stop. |
 |
Ready for the second port of call? OK, these
little guys sound great but are there barriers to their classroom
implementation? Are there problems? Your task is to find 1-3 "cons." Bonus
points if you can come up with solutions or counterarguments. One
recommended article is "Handheld Computing: The New Best Tech Tool or Just a
Fad?". Take me to the
Second Stop. |
 |
During the final stop in this excursion, you
will seek out specific ways handhelds are being used for teaching and
learning. The tour guide recommends you poke around at least three links and
list 5 learning activities that involve handhelds? Is handheld integration
evident at all grade levels? Subject areas? What were your favorite web
sites? Take me to the
Third Stop. |
