This week, the Harby Junior High School students were among the first of 250 students to receive Dell AXIM handheld computers that link with each other on a schoolwide, wireless server. The devices are part of Alvin ISD's Handheld Initiative, which aims to integrate advanced technology into the everyday curriculum. Next year, the district will issue the computers to 1,000 seventh-grade students."</i><br /><br />Mobile technology in the classroom: could this be the way of the future? If you're a student in a school that uses PDAs for homework and class tasks, let us know how well it works.
