PDAs (personal digital assistants) are no longer in the domain of the busy executive. At Nan Chiau Primary School, a year-long Palmpilot trial has been running since January and everyone involved – the teachers, the parents, even the 41 children using the gadgets in class Primary 2A – have taken quickly to it. The initiative, InnoPDAte@P2A, uses PDAs in the classroom as a core instrument for classes. This is a change from many previous IT deployments in classrooms, where technology has been used mainly in supplementary roles, for example, in multimedia clips or interactive software.The idea has been given recognition by the Ministry of Education (MOE), which awarded it the School Innovation Fund for being "an innovative project that involves the experimentation of PDA as a tool to enhance the teaching and learning process". The school has also won a Merit award in the HP INIT (Hewlett-Packard Innovation in Information Technology) Award 2003, a partnership by MOE and HP to involve the private sector in education initiatives.
