Palm OS Applications Improving Academic Achievement
Third party developers have created a variety of Palm OS applications tailored to the specific needs of students, teachers and administrators for use on Palm Powered™ devices are These applications, designed for Palm Powered™ devices, range from record keeping, classroom information, student assessment tools, and database management.
For Students
Students and parents can be on the same page as teachers and administrators with applications that enable users to view and edit files on a corporate network, school server, home computer and the Internet. For example, with WiFile Pro from Hands High Software and a Palm Powered™ device, users connected to the network can directly access applications, databases, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, MP3 music files, digital photos, and more.
For those schools focused on engineering, medical, or science fields, powerOne Graph application from Infinity Softworks simplifies TI, HP, and Casio graphing scientific calculator functionality by utilizing the touch screen, larger displays and superior processing power of Palm Powered mobile devices. For more information, please visit www.handshigh.com and www.infinitysoftworks.com.
For Teachers
Teachers can spend less time grading and tracking assignments and more time in the classroom focused on the students. Combined with Palm Powered™ devices, the broad range of mClass Software solutions from Wireless Generation helps educators automate scoring, access real-time assessment results, deliver one touch reporting, conserve classroom time and reduce paperwork. For example mClass: Math is designed to enhance teachers' ability to assess kindergarten through 2nd grade students' understanding of early mathematical concepts and can collect data on their students' development for use in planning of course instruction.
mClass: Reading is another handheld-to-Web assessment solution designed for delivering tools including reading records, accuracy/fluency assessment, and comprehension rubric. For more information, please visit www.wirelessgeneration.com.
