Here are a few short clips of other schools that are actively promoting eLearning. I shared about the university that was giving out iPhones to its incoming freshmen. Well there are other type of initiatives that are being taken to maximize a successful use of technology in the classroom.
- Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. released a version of its Web site's home page specially designed for the iPhone. http://www.convergemag.com/story.php?catid=421&storyid=107029
- Elementary schools in at least seven cities are piloting an innovative handheld computer that costs only $50 and can be used to help teach reading and math. The “teachermate” handheld computer, as the device is called, features a 2.5-inch color screen, 512 megabytes of internal memory, an SD slot for expandability, a built-in microphone and speaker, and a battery life of four hours. In addition to the rollout in Chicago, schools in New York City, Detroit, New Orleans, San Antonio, Phoenix, and the Denver area are piloting the device. http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/top-news/?i=53093;_hbguid=fc2b6af0-33eb-4063-95c4-81824cbb071e&d=top-news
