SRI International and Palm, Inc. will announce the results of a first-of-a-kind study of the integration of handheld technology in K-12 teaching and learning. A news briefing to discuss these findings will take place later today here at the Florida Educational Technology Conference (FETC). The study results are based on 100 classrooms that used handhelds for teaching and learning. These classrooms were part of the Palm Education Pioneer (PEP) program, which awarded $2.3 million in technology grants to 175 classrooms in the United States. SRI International’s Center for Technology in Learning (CTL) in Menlo Park, CA, is administering and evaluating the program to study the learning uses, experiences, and effectiveness of handhelds for teaching and learning.
