The exciting new feature of HLE for Palm OS is that it directly links FreeWrite, PiCoMap, Sketchy, Cells, iKWL, Locker and ViewPoint documents into one overall project document. Now in a PiCoMap, each node can contain other documents. For example, clicking on one node could take you to a Sketchy animation, while clicking on the central node could take you to a FreeWrite document with questions posed by the teacher. Web pages can also be incorporated to add rich content for student research.

One of the keys to successful integration of any technology into the classroom is to make certain that the technology enriches curriculum rather than becomes the curriculum. Our goal is for teachers to infuse the handhelds into their lessons rather than dramatically change their teaching practices. The collection of lessons included helps teachers incorporate HLE into their curriculum in meaningful ways by providing many examples and lessons they can adapt for their own purposes.

Each lesson details software used, learning objectives, and provides a short narrative as to how a particular lesson might fit into a larger unit or subject matter. In addition, all lessons cite national standards, assessment strategies, and other tips from teachers based on in-class experiences.
