Feedback from teachers
Exhilarating to be among Palm users. I am ready to bring in my students
A chance to meet with colleagues about similar ideas and issues using Palms in the classroom.
Time to play and search for Palm software
![Page 21: Handheld Educators Leadership Program: Handhelds in the Hands of Learners Lynn A. Elder Marsha Gladhart WSU College of Education](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d565503460f94a345b8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Feedback from teachers
I want to have more actual software downloads and evaluations
I like the time we have to focus on technology These day long workshops are better than
the two-hour ones
