Comments on: Schools Test Handhelds in the Classroom
It turns out the University of South Dakota program to provide Palm handhelds to all first-year undergraduate students as well as first-year law and medical school students is far from alone. Harvard Medical School is setting up a handheld-related program for its students and so is Consolidated High School District 230 of Orland Park, Ill and East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C. A high school in Seattle is running a test program, too.

Awesome
Wow. I am very happy to see that handhelds are becoming a normal thing in many schools. I find that handhelds have been almost a necessary item in my highschool and now college education
Wrong place, wrong time
Geez, guess I was born at the wrong place, wrong time! It's really good to see this happening as it can only mean better quality handhelds in the future!
This is an important step

Being a reseller, this helps very much in selling to area schools. Proving it has worked will make the local schools more willing to follow suit! I'm especially excited that the high school I'm going to start going to next year is looking at buying these things!!! I can't wait for Palm's 3 year educational strategy to play out. This is a good market, and somebody needs to start eating up the sales

sync as filling gas
From this story, i'm thinking if we can build something similiar to atm machine or gas station in order to make pda users sync their pda without bothering slow and costly wireless cnx.

wish we used palm on my school
I think it is a good idea to use palm handhelds on schools, it teach the students to use modern technology and there can make there homework in a bus, airplane or of course at home. I wish we used palms on my school.

I'm a college student, & I cannot stress enough how important my visor is. When doing a term paper, I write all the content on my visor, and then at home, I cut and paste the memo file to microsoft word or apple works and format it and walla I have a term paper. The next best thing to do with my visor in class is to whip it out and play a couple of games when the professor starts sounding like the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoons. I would highly recommend a handheld for school. -happy palming! ;-)
