Handheld technologies are changing the way people access and work with information. These devices are becoming smaller, cheaper, better, and more connected. Educators and students need to be taking advantage of these emerging technologies to enhance lifelong learning. This site will help all people in learning organizations to use and get the most from these devices.

Critical questions:
• What can be done with smart handheld devices?
• How can educators use the emerging technologies to improve their learning communities?
• How can teachers and students use handheld computers to enhance learning?
• What do information literate people need to be able to do with handheld computers?

This model represents a system for implementing handheld computers in schools. The successful implementation of handheld computers requires that technology leaders see it as a system in which the parts are not static and unchanging, but constantly in flux. Like electrons orbiting in an atom, these elements relate to one another and affect each other in significant ways.
