Week6

   There are many things that you can do with a P D A (personal digital assistant) it can be used for personal use buisiness and also in the classroom. With the PDA you can access the internet keep schedules keep up with a calender there are many different ways they can be used. Also there are  Global Positioning Systems that can be used witch i think would be great for younger students that might be lost and would be easily found due to the GPS. Teachers can use these hand held devices to do things such as keep up with class scheduling and as calenders to keep up with assignments and test. Clearly PDA's are a very good tool for teachers and students in the classroom.
   Online surveys are a great reasource for students to use in the classroom the students can look up data for a class project or for presenting a lecture. Online surveys give you good facts and information on a certain topic that you are reasearching. Also they can give students good feedback on topics that they are reasearching , they can go out and find out what other people are thinking about there same topic.I think one good rule for students writing surveys is that they are able to find info for subjects they are intersted in and also be able to use that and take it to the teacher to learn more about it in the classroom. There are many good online surveys out there for everyone to access and should be used as a viable reasouce exspeacially in the classroom.
  Clearly there are great things that can come from using PDA's in the classroom they are a great tool for not only the teachers but the students as well. Online surveys give you good feedback on certain topics that you may be reasearching and are a great reasource for students.
