Handhelds in the Classroom…Action Research Project
Posted by: Dean Shareski in Classrooms, handheldsI’m going to leading a project on using HandHelds in the classroom. It’s a project grant I helped a grade 8 teacher apply for almost a year ago. It was just approved last week.
The project is going to be highly experimental and certainly based on the action research model. We’ll be relying on the work of various educators and case studies that will guide the project.
It’s likely that we will not have internet access with the handhelds. I’m wondering about the power of these tools without having access to the internet, especially in the light of this article via Mark Wagner.
I watched this video and see other classrooms using it without access. (If you’re reading this in your aggregator you may need to visit the site in order to view it)

How valuable a tool will these handhelds be without internet access? What advice would you have regarding this project?
