Inventor Plans New Computing Platform for Students
The new PDA will be more of a wireless communicating device than a computer. It will have a built-in peer-to-peer network that will not require the Internet for users to stay connected. However, it will also have full Internet browsing capabilities. Mark Menarik, CEO of Chicago-based TanCher, said the device will focus on maximizing the wireless capabilities for the educational market.

All Students Become Successful with Handhelds
All Students Become Successful with Handhelds
http://www.palm.com/us/education/studies/#k12
Sebastian Elementary School Fourth graders in Preziosi's class have not only taken to the Palm Tungsten handhelds, they won't let go of them.
When the kids are using the handhelds, I have to pry them out of their hands," says Preziosi. "They take charge and keep a close watch over them
They've found many ways to use the handhelds and GoKnow software in language arts activities. Using Freewrite, students write reading response journals and compose fractured fairy tales, typing on wireless keyboards attached to the handhelds. They beam the tales around the class so that others can add to them.

South Fayette Elementary School
Engaging Digital Kids
His students use a number of software programs to help them with their writing. They brainstorm with concept mapping tools like GoKnow's PicoMap. They'll write up a rough draft on their handheld using the Memo Pad or GoKnow's FreeWrite and beam it to a fellow student for review. Then they make edits.
"The kids do more revising when they can do it digitally," says Sundgren. "Plus they're more engaged throughout the writing process when they use the handhelds."

The Benefits of Tablet PC’s for Educators
The Benefits of Tablet PC’s for Educators
How Tablet Pc’s Are Being Used In Education
• Lecturing
• Collaboration
• Discipline-specific applications
• Note-taking
• Grading and reading documents
• Creating figures and diagrams
• Brainstorming
How Tablet Pc’s Are Being Used In Education• Many are using tablets with a projector & Journal or
OneNote to replace the traditional whiteboard/blackboard• Benefits
– Supports real-time writing; everything does not need to be done in advance, as in PowerPoint
• Some material difficult to do in PowerPoint (e.g. equations, Chinese)• Material can still be prepared in advance
– Can archive lecture content, don’t need tablet PC to view– Face toward class instead of toward the board– No messy chalk, markers, or erasers needed
• Can return to material that would be erased on a board• But do need a projector
Collaboration Possibilities
If all students in the class have Tablet PC’s then interesting collaboration
opportunities are possible with the wireless networking
Other Classroom Uses
• Real-Time Grading?• Brainstorming and Design• Note Sharing
– Various applications developed
• Instructor feedback?– Could provide instant feedback to gauge audience’s
comprehension
• Distance Education?– Possibilities for distance education, can share data across
a network with tools such as Media Encoder or NetMeeting
Discipline-Specific Applications
• Tablet PC applications for specific disciplines are just emerging
• Mathematics– xThink calculator– Upcoming Math Journal
product
• Physics– MagicPaper
Applications for Children
• Lots of child-oriented applications– Math– Art, painting– Learning to write in cursive
Uses Outside the Classroom
• Preparing figures and diagrams• Grading papers• eBooks• Web
– New applications such as TabletBlogger, incorporate ink with blog
• Instant Messaging– Communicate with students or colleagues in ink with
MSN Messenger

Imagine the following scenario:You are a 16-year old student, sitting at a bus stop waiting for your bus to arrive. Trying to prepare for your upcoming Geometry exam you take out your cellular phone, open the installed mathematics m-Book and start learning—you review theorems and definitions while manipulating interactive diagrams, search the web to look for additional definitions, use geometry applets to explore concepts and test your understanding by doing some quizzes that your teacher stored in the class site for you to browse from the mobile device. You are already on your bus when your friend calls and asks for help with an exercise. You both then send a message attaching the module of the exercise each of you reviewed and compare the solving attempts. Now you feel ready to send the exercises to your teacher for her or him to check them.
Friend Or Foe
The education community has proved slow to explore the new reality that this device introduces. While there is still a lot to learn about uses of cellular phones for purposes other than phone calls, it becomes obvious that treating them only as a distraction to school and to the proper education is the wrong way to go ( as we treated computers in school a generation ago). Mobile phones and mobile learning will allow students to learn anytime, anywhere and with any media.
Friend Or Foe
Clearly, the potential for educational applications is huge: Students use updated educational applications on their phones, whenever it is convenient to them. They share their learning process and outcomes, without being in the same physical place (thus using emails, blogging, video streaming and MMS, internet browsing and many more) and they may get personal tailored exams and quizzes on their cellular phones.

The Web Is No Longer
“Read Only”
We really have an opportunity to ask our students to become more than just receivers of knowledge. They
can become transmitters of that knowledge, teachers of it in easy, meaningful ways.

Podcasting
• Method for distributing audio files over the web for playback on mobile devices and computers
• Distributed using RSS (Real Simple Syndication), Atom Syndication, and others
• Essence is about creating content for an audience that wants to listen when, where, and how they want
Vodcasting
• Method for distributing video files over the web for playback on mobile devices and computers
• Distributed using RSS (Real Simple Syndication), Atom Syndication, and others
• Essence is about creating content for an audience that wants to watch when, where, and how they want
Podcasting and Vodcasting
• Content creators need technology to create and edit audio and/or video files
• Prepared files (called shows) are uploaded to a web server or streaming server
• Content creators/managers create, edit and manage an xlm file to which subscribers subscribe
Podcasting and Vodcasting
• End users need an aggregator to subscribe to the “feed”– Juice from iPodder– iTunes– Many others
• Aggregators can be configured to automatically check subscriptions for new feeds and download them when available
