Schoolwide use of handhelds

Avery Coonley School may be nearly 100 years old, but when it comes to endowing its teachers and students with handheld technology for the classroom, this private, independent school in Downers Grove, IL is one of the most forward-looking schools in the state. After the rousing success of a fourth-grade pilot program last year, each student and teacher in grades four through eight now have their own Zire 72 handheld, as well as a wireless keyboard, from palmOne. It’s the realization of the school’s vision to provide a learning device for every student, and one that has earned full support and cooperation from students, teachers and parents.
