Warhaftig, who uses a Palm IIIxe to keep his students' contact information, said he fears the students will use the devices' infrared capability to beam notes to each other and play games rather than read that William Faulkner story. "I know when I?m in a faculty meeting that is boring me to tears, I will read The New York Times on AvantGo and look like I?m (concentrating) on the meeting," said Warhaftig. "The magic in the classroom is getting kids to concentrate." Hmmm...how about creating lessons that don't suck? Or curriculum that employs the palm in useful ways. Blah, I say! Blah on you sir! Good day!
