We use Brainchild Study Buddy in our classrooms.  It seems the students
like it because it fits in their hands and looks age appropriate and
with earphones no one knows what they have in front of them.
The sales person we deal with will bring in the unit and the content
cartridges and allow the staff to look at it and see how it correlates
with the curriculum.  You can view the web version and some lessons @
www.brainchild.com.

Hi Marilyn,
 
Please comment about the Inspiration software program. I have a copy of
this sitting in a box, and your comments make the program sound really
worthwhile. Perhaps I could get this software placed on computers in our
classroom for writing development for the students.
 
Also, has anyone used Steck-Vaughn's Study Buddy handheld unit with
students? These are more expensive than the Palm, and serve a different
purpose. Study Buddy technology appears to be a handheld version of
lessons in the five subject areas. Palms appear to be more of a writing
and organizational tool.
 
Please also let me know if anyone out there is using a Palm for Math
lessons or games.
 
Thanks,
 
Tina
