Palm, Inc. has designated the Office of Internet Studies
as a Research Hub to study the use of Palm Pilots as they are
piloted at four schools in the Omaha Public System. These handheld
computing devices will be used for academic activities ranging
from water quality data collection to marketing and computer
programming. |

In conjunction with the Peter Kiewit Institute, the Office
of Internet Studies is conducting research into the use of
robots in the classroom. This collaborative effort involves
middle school teachers from the Omaha Metro area. These teachers
are taught the principles of engineering through the hands
on construction of their own Tekbots. The ultimate goal is
for these teachers to take the skills they've learned back
to their classrooms for learning with their students. |
