The Handheld Classroom: Educational Implications of Mobile Computing
Overview Advances in handheld computing technology have meant that Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are no longer simply electronic replacements for paper diaries, with current models capable of performing a wide range of functions.. This paper explored the use of handheld computers in a variety of educational contexts. The first part of the paper provides an overview of some of the recent research that has been done in this area, and identifies several key projects. The second section looks at the educational issues raised by these projects, and argues that, as with any educational technology, careful consideration must be given to student needs before any hardware or software can be introduced.
