Want to see kids interested in learning? Give them a handheld computer and let them loose. Using the GoKnow.com software package
the sixth graders at both Wesleyan Academy and Moravian School learned how to create, edit and share their work on their Palm
Handheld computers.
Students are able to go online create a freeWrite document that will arrive on their Palms as soon as they syncronize
them.
Using Picomap the students create mind-mapping projects that can include an interface with other goknow program such as
sketchy, an animation type drawing tool.
This Moravian student enters in study materals for her Congressional Election project. During this project the students were
able to track who was running for congress in the Virgin Island as well as link related information about each candidate.
Student tech teams were created at each school with the responsibility of maintaining, syncronizing, and trouble shooting
the Palms.
Being responsible for making sure all of the Palms are in working order is a big, but welcomed responsibility for the
team members.
