Benefits of Participation Access to a digital camera or wireless and Web for a semester (using “hot spots”) Extended, hands-on experience with a loaned PDA can help you decide whether or not to purchase your own device, and which model Extra credit activities aligned with course assignments can add to your overall points total, or you can elect to skip certain regular assignments as marked in the syllabus*

Minimal Requirements To use a PDA, students will need access to a personal computer (PC or Mac) with USB port You will need to load Palm Desktop and other software tools on this computer All PDA software will be provided to you

Minimal Requirements Some extra credit assignments require students to access Microsoft Word on this same personal computer If you do not have Microsoft Word on your computer, you can still participate in about 60% of the extra credit assignments

Extra Credit (Detail): Time Management Assignment Students can download a time management matrix in Excel or Word format from the class Web page After completing their matrix, students can install and use Documents to Go to transfer their file to the handheld, then beam this file to the TA or instructor (10 points) Docs to Go will be provided to students with Word on their personal computer

Extra Credit (Detail): Oracle Calendar Assignment Next week we will overview the new electronic calendar tool available to every student at NC State: Oracle Calendar Most students will access their electronic calendar via the Web (like Webmail) Students with PDAs can set up a sync between their PDA and Oracle Desktop on their personal computer, to transfer all dates into their Palm DateBook application (10 points)

Extra Credit (Detail): Finding Internships Assignment Students with PDAs can set up a free software tool called Plucker to extract Web pages and place them on their PDA For extra credit, students will use Plucker to download the “About” Web pages for two companies (10 points)

Extra Credit (Detail): Resume Assignment Students will install and use the software tool Documents to Go to transfer Word files to their handheld For extra credit, students will transfer their resume to their handheld, then “beam” that file to the instructor or TA (10 points)

Extra Credit (Detail): Interview Assignment In interview situations, it is helpful to have a copy of your business card and/or resume for the interviewer For extra credit, students with PDAs can create an electronic business card and beam that file to the instructor or TA (10 points)

Extra Credit (Detail): Clubs & Orgs. Assignment Students with PDAs can transfer a worksheet to their handheld with Docs to Go, and answer the listed questions about clubs or organizations they visit For extra credit, students beam their completed worksheet to the instructor or TA (10 points)

Extra Credit (Detail): Using D.H. Hill Library Assignment The Zire 71 includes a built-in digital camera For extra credit, students with a Zire 71 can take two digital pictures at the library with their camera (one each of reference and circulation desk), download these files to their personal computer, edit the files by adding a title over the photo (i.e., their name), and then beaming the photos with their name to the TA or instructor (10 points)

Extra Credit (Detail): Ethical Issues Assignment Students with PDAs can install the free Idea Pad program to create a basic concept map about the ethical issue they have researched; beam to instructor or TA for 10 points One student per team can install the free Margi software to convert their PowerPoint presentation to a handheld file; the presentation can then be delivered from the handheld (10 points)

Extra Credit (Detail): Planetarium Software Students can install and use the free Planetarium software tool to research astronomical data For extra credit, students answer scavenger- hunt type questions provided on the software documentation, using the handheld MemoPad application, then beam those answers to the TA or instructor (10 points)

Some Procedures To receive extra credit, you must bring your PDA and show your work on the device to the instructor or TA. In many cases, you can “beam” your extra credit assignment to the instructor or TA electronically. If any regular assignment asks you to turn in a printed page (e.g., resume), and the PDA extra credit assignment asks you to beam an electronic copy of this same file to the TA or instructor, you must do BOTH
