dc.description	The technology goals relating to The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 recommend that teachers provide equitable learning opportunities that optimize learning and prepare students to perform efficiently and effectively on standardized tests. Handheld computers can be very useful classroom management tools for providing technological equity and bridging the digital divide. As part of an Ohio Board of Regents Technology initiative, university teacher educators were trained in the use of handheld computers. The participants discussed and/or demonstrated how the handheld computer software, the scientific probes on board, the cameras, and portable keyboards can be used with their preservice teachers to acquaint them with ways of bridging the digital divide.
