handholding handhelds

Thought you may like to see a white paper written by me; handhelds in education. We are starting to see increased interest this area of technology. The handheld conference being held in London today and tomorrow is showing-off the latest technology and approaches. Invicta school Maidstone are speaking at the event and showing how they have been using the Samsung Q1 (around £600 each). Maplesden Noakes in Maidstone are about to start working on a project that uses SONY PSP (around £200 each) as wireless web browsers and multimedia storage and play devices. I am currently trying out the open source Nokia 770 wireless Internet Tablet (£200).

The paper looks at the school level management considerations for deployment of handhelds. Comments welcomed and encouraged! Go on, you know you want to!
