FLINGIT
http://goknow.com/Products/FlingIt/
Want to use PalmOS handheld technology in the classroom?
FlingIt, a free application from GoKnow.com, instantaneously
"flings" Web pages from a desktop computer to a handheld
computer.
Users can decide whether or not to include graphics and
determine the link depth of the captured Web pages. FlingIt
sites can be beamed from one handheld computer to another
for the sharing of Web-based resources.
Do you use the Math Forum's Problems of the Week? Use
FlingIt to download a PoW to your handheld and then beam it
to your students' handhelds. Students can work on their
problem solving in class and then computer lab time can be
used to submit solutions.
For more ideas on how to use handhelds in the classroom,
consider purchasing this new book offered through the ISTE
(International Society for Technology in Education)
bookstore:
