I watched handheld computers progress from tech-candy that sales reps and VPs showed off at meetings to a device that was ready for integration with K-12 students. Apple’s Newton and Palm’s own Palm-Pilot were surely front-runners. That’s why the Tech2Go blog includes a Handheld Computing category.

Today the tools are more than ready for our 21st century learners. One company that transformed the way I think about handheld computing is GoKnow. They are producing great software applications to get to higher levels of thinking and learning and help teachers’ manage the workflow of the handheld-centric classroom.

Palm offers an educational certification that is worth considering. I became a Palm Educational Training Coordinator for my district and the training and subsequent recertification events have been excellent.

You will want to check out Tony Vincet’s excellent site too. Learning In Hand is full of resources, downloads, and ideas about how to implement one-to-one computing in your classroom.
