[Wylug-discuss] PDA's in schools

[ALLEN, David]

>I didn't see the news item in question and haven't noticed it reported
in the press but I    presume that this is not presented as a proper
"Teaching and Learning" initiative but rather as yet another proposal to
provide pupils with a personal "PC" for notetaking, homework and data
transport.

I am pleased my email has raised such interest! The project has been
described as a "pilot scheme", see
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/6247853.stm

Notwithstanding all the other comments made which I agree with, what
anoys me the most was how the project was railroaded using Microsoft
software, with no other technology considered. Maybe Gbdirect should
give them a ring?
