Press release from Bachmann Software

Quote

  Orlando, FL (January 27, 2005)... Today at the Florida Educational Technology Conference in Orlando, Bachmann Software, a leader in wireless productivity software for handhelds and smartphones, announced FilePoint Classroom Edition, a new workgroup software product aimed at solving the problem of wireless file exchange between teachers and students who use Palm OS handhelds in K-12 classrooms.

Using FilePoint Classroom Edition, teachers can create assignments, quizzes and other classroom materials on their workstations, and distribute them wirelessly to their classroom’s Palm OS handhelds over the network. Once on the handheld, students can work on their assignments, and individually submit them back to the teacher when completed.

FilePoint Classroom Edition works with any Palm OS handheld that is capable of achieving a wireless network connection, including PalmOne’s Tungsten C and T series, as well as any Palm OS handheld used in conjunction with the Enfora Wireless Portfolio or other Wi-Fi or Bluetooth wireless add-on. FilePoint Classroom is also fully compatible with Bachmann’s popular PrintBoy wireless printing software, used widely by schools in all 50 states.





now all we need is a sensible Palm Wi-Fi solution and batteries that can last a whole day while connected  Smiley

I'm setting up for next year, and would like to provide a wireless printing option for the Palms.  Has anyone had good experience with either Infrared or Bluetooth in a classroom? The kids at our school have to buy their own software, so price is a consideration.  Any thoughts?

Infrared - I've kept an old HP printer in an IT room at school. Printing from a T3 (using program from Bachman) works very well.

Bluetooth - tried this at home. set up a Bluetooth connection to a PC - sort of worked but not for printing! Then discovered that I was unable to print from the PC. I contacted the supplier of my Bluetooth dongle who suggested re-installing Windows - ouch! (Long term solution will be to replace the PC with a Mac)

For fun I set up a Bluetooth connection to an Apple  Powerbook - no problem - but the Powebook can't print to my laser printer. . .

I've now got a WiFi card for the T3 perhaps I should try printing via this connection.
