Re: palm pilots in physics?



Vernier stuff now interfaces with Palm Pilots. Talk about a truly
portable lab.

Hello,

I have been offered an odd grant. If I take it, I can
only use it to buy Palm Pilots (or any other PDA).

Does anyone know of a good educational use for Palm Pilots?

I've thought about the fact that you can exchange info via
the IR port, but that seems so slow and limited. You could
have the students use them for formulas and notes, but that doesn't
seem to be much of an advance in education.

Anyone know about anything? You can reply off-line if you
like. (carter@fnal.gov)

Thanks.
