PDAs

I always thought PDAs were used by people in business and never realized how helpful they could be in the classroom. Teachers can use them to organize lesson plans, bring documents from home to school, and avoid the expensive cost of personal computers. They are an expensive tool but less costly in comparsion to desktops or laptops. Students can also use them to get themselves organized and write down assignments and task manage. Kids with disabilities such as ADHD can use the PDA to organize themselves. Overall, the PDA can be an extremely beneficial tool in the classroom. They do have downsides such as small screen and use of stylus. They also could distract students in the classroom so rules may have to be set as to when PDAs can be used. Overall, PDAs can have a place in the classroom so long as use is appropriate.
