Handheld Technology Choices
Graphing Calculators
PDA (Palm devices)
GPS units
Handheld Graphing Calculators
Powerful data analysis by students.
Teacher can display.Navigator system gives
teacher access to whole class view of student calculators.
Handheld Technologies - Probes
Venier: These probes collect real data and can attach to Palm devices, graphing calculators, or computers http://www.vernier.com/probes/
Probe Demo

Handheld Palm Devices
These have developed into mini-computers.
They can word process, create presentations, and analyze data.
