PDAs in the Classroom

I saw this article a few days ago, and thought I’d share… Basically, the article discusses a Kansas City-area middle school that is experimenting with PDAs – as in, 600 PDAs (the school district spent about $180,000).

Their goal? To prepare their students for the 21st century! The article actually says this: “Many educators think that preparing students for the 21st century goes beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic – students must be technologically literate.”

How cool is that? A public school actually teaching kids skills that they’ll need TOMORROW – rather than skills they’d need today, or yesterday. I applaud them!
