Saturday, November 19, 2005 at 8:26PM 
Soft Reset Show #5 features audio from the 5th Annual Michigan Handheld Computers in Education Conference held November 4, 2005. Tony and Mike discuss the conference and some things they learned while there. Listen for conference participants' reflections and ideas about the conference and using handhelds for learning. You'll also hear why a Fruit Roll Up seems to be a big deal to at least one student.Show Notes:
- Andy Mann is the organizer for the Michigan Handheld Computers in Education Conference. Check out the photos from the conference.
- Tony's Tip: Take some time to go through the presenters' handouts from the conference. In particular, see Gayle Underwood's Handhelds with Special Needs handout.
- Mike's Tip: Subscribe to Google Alerts. Enter search terms like handhelds and grants, handhelds and conferences, ubiquitous computing, etc.
- Inspiration for Palm and Pocket PC has some great templates for use by even very young children.
- Quizzler can be used for a fun Tic-Tac-Toe game.
- RCET's Ubiquitous Computer Conference: Bridging Research & Practice is December 1 & 2, 2005 in Kent, Ohio.
- Email Tony and Mike with your questions in audio format to softresetpodcast@gmail.com.

Great stuff!!! I shared Google Alert, Google Earth and your Podcast-Soft Reset with our staff as "educational...be in the know" tips.
We have also planned a "Pod-talk" get together. The teachers will listen to Softreset on their own and then we will meet at the Wired Bean to chat about it. Thank you both for being soooooo-(extra o) innovative!!!!
