I found an article wirtten in Learning and Leading with Teachnology that is written by a student himself. It was an evaluation on his change in his academic progress after recieving a Microsoft iPaq Pocket PC. He writes that after he was given this Pc his academic progress went up and then he conducted a test on several other studetns with the results agreeing that those with Microsoft iPaq Pocket PCs improved their academic progress.

This is all well and good and I’m sure his progress has improved and he has conducted a nice investigation. BUT is this just an advertisement for Microsoft under the heading of a reflective piece by a student. I guess it is also providing advocacy for the use of technology in the classroom, which is what this publication is all about.

An intersting article, whichever way you look at it!
