“We are excited about this opportunity to utilize WideRay's Jack servers to deliver dynamic content to our freshman class on a daily basis. The Palm is a wonderful complement to the strong technology program at CSH, providing students with an organizational tool which will enhance our communication and support their education,” stated Doug Grant, Head of School.

Every CSH freshman student has been issued a Palm. CSH has provided each member of the faculty with a Palm and will create opportunities for professional development throughout the year. Freshman faculty will meet periodically to review and evaluate the program. Students will be surveyed, formally and informally, for feedback and suggestions. Additionally, academic departments will research other educational deployments of handheld technology.

"Here is a perfect example of a school addressing the technological needs of their students," said Mike Lorion, vice president of education for Palm, Inc. "Today's students are constantly on the go as they change classes, meet with teachers, and participate in clubs, student government and other extracurricular activities. CSH is capitalizing on the effectiveness of handheld computers in the classroom and on technologies such as WideRay's Jack that make it easy to access, collaborate, share and distribute information in this dynamic environment."
