Handhelds for Students?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the netris dept.

OmegaGeek writes "Wired is reporting from NECC 2002 that one solution to achieving universal computer access advocated by teachers (and marketing departments too, no doubt) is the use of handheld computers instead of laptops or desktop PCs. Is this a reasonable solution? Does it offer anything for the students other than the ability to beam notes instead of passing a piece of paper? I've also posted a commentary at LearningTech."

    Your attention please.

    Ahem.

    I hereby declare anyone who is not a U.S.A. fan to be a dirty, stinking, sweaty eurotrash flamer. Please take a shower; your swampy armpits are polluting the atmosphere.

    Thank you for attention. Please return to your normal business.
