WiFi High School Goes Online in Ontario.

The article reports on North Grenville District high school, which is located north of the border in Kemptville, Ontario, but by placing palmOne handheld wireless computers in the hands of its 35 teachers this school about 45 minutes south of the Canadian capital Ottawa has moved to the heart of a brave new world. This fall, North Grenville High installed a new WiFi wireless network. And currently, the school is upgrading its palmOne fleet to WiFi-enahled Tungsten G models and adding eSIS software from MediaX that will let teachers take attendance with a click. Physical education teacher Sean Kelly uses his handheld to assess his students according to rubrics for skills in various sports. He estimates that he saves a half hour for every skill set he evaluates, compared to the paper and pencil routine he used to go through.
