Wireless Classrooms
Educators can use handheld devices with mobile Internet access to improve teaching and learning in both local and wide area network environments.
  • Local area wireless access. Using handheld devices equipped with the appropriate software and connected by a wireless network to the Internet exposes students to a rich variety of web resources that can help them learn various concepts and subjects.

  • Wide area wireless access. Teacher training places a heavy emphasis on integrating technology with instruction and learning, yet the reality of inadequate school facilities often dismays instructors. Mobile computing technology provides the functionality of a desktop PC to teachers who are displaced from their room.
