Projects - PT3 Workshops

Through cooperation with of INSITE, a project of the PT3 initiative, the PDA Utilization Group has hosted a series of workshops for Austin-area schoolteachers. Through these seminars, we provided teachers with Palm Pilots, extensive Palm training and powerful software applications. The meetings also faciliated teacher interaction and sharing of best practices through roundtable discussions.

Our second cohort of PT3 Fellows began in the Summer of 2002. Twenty teachers joined us for four workshops on PDAs in education.
