Tangipahoa Parish School System is conducting a
pilot project using handheld computers in the
classrooms at Hammond Westside Primary and three other
TPSS schools.
Colette Taillon used
the iPAQ handhelds at Hammond Westside Primary
with
a faculty in-service at the beginning of the year.

Colette Taillon
worked with Ms. Stephanie Sims's third grade class
at Hammond Westside Primary. They are studying the
stages of the development of a pumpkin. The students
used Pocket Word, Sketchy, and beamed information to
each other on the iPAQs. Click on the thumbnails

Mrs. Taillon also
worked with Ms. Sanford's 2nd hour 8th grade English
class at Loranger Middle School. They are studying
persuasive writing. This was their first day using
the iPAQs, and the students had to write a 5
sentence paragraph persuading Ms. Taillon to come
back with the iPAQs next week. The paragraphs were
very funny, cute and interesting. They definitely
persuaded her to go back for another iPAQ lesson.
