Beaming Assignments with Axims
Posted by Darius Wey in "THOUGHT" @ 04:00 AM
"Students in Ray Leal's seventh-grade humanities class no longer have to hand him their assignments - they beam them to him. This week, the Harby Junior High School students were among the first of 250 students to receive Dell AXIM handheld computers that link with each other on a schoolwide, wireless server. The devices are part of Alvin ISD's Handheld Initiative, which aims to integrate advanced technology into the everyday curriculum. Next year, the district will issue the computers to 1,000 seventh-grade students."
