Handheld Computers and 

Wireless Environments in Education

Wireless access point and handheld computer

Handheld computers in a wireless environment can be used to facilitate student learning, provide feedback to instructors about students' understanding of material, and gather assessment data during instruction. Many projects exist that utilize either handheld devices, wireless environments, or both in educational settings. The purpose of this website is to manage information about the use of these technologies in various classrooms and to encourage discussion of ideas, methodologies, successes, and failures, thereby facilitating collaboration.
