Pretty good article describing how school administrators can use handhelds with internet access to maximize their efficiency during or between meetings or while on duties that take them away from their desks. The article doesn't really get into the fact that you really have to train yourself into these habits; if you do not normally check your messages during lulls in meetings, having a handheld won't make it suddenly happen. It also occured to me that, especially for those large urban schools, having photo-recognition would be useful. Focus your camera on the student and the handheld displays the student's name and info. Nothing about this feature (it's probably more than a few years in the future) in the article, though.
