Pocket Book and Psion Machines in Schools and Colleges


Click to go to the Education Resource

As lots of these machines are used in schools in the UK, I'm sure some teachers have developed their own example spreadsheets, databases, and possibly even complete applications for school use.
Several appropriate applications have been produced by PD and Shareware programmers, and are available via the main third-party Psion Web sites (e.g. 3-Lib, Five Alive and the new Pocket Info). These include resources such as Periodic Table data for Chemistry and Physics, graph plotting applications (as well as the one built into the Pocket Book II), and statistical analysis software.
Perhaps some teachers have even produced complete class exercises built around the use of the Pocket Book to teach spreadsheet development, database use, etc.?
There is also Nstore to make life easier when it comes to National Curriculum record keeping and reporting.

Please let me know if you have anything you've developed specifically for school use (either yourself or as part of a classroom exercise) that you'd be happy to share with others.
Email me at JWoodthorpe@ndirect.co.uk (or use the form below), and I'll start a collection of suitable software to be made available via this site and Archive Magazine.
Ideally, I'd like to make the files themselves available, along with some instructions as to how you have used them, so please contact me first rather than sending me a random selection of undocumented files!
