FlingIt
This program allows its users to instantaneously "fling" a web
page from a desktop computer to a Palm OS computer. When used in the classroom
setting this will allow students to view a designated web page on their
individual Palm. This can be used for a variety of purposes including encyclopedia
articles, news web pages, foreign language articles, or any other desired
web page.

3. Begin having Flashmaster tournaments within GATE and then challenge the rest of the students.4. Make a Problem of the Week for the students in the class to solve and post to the website for the students schoolwide to have access to solving the problem.
Each student
should almost be finished with their number problems.
Beam your problems

As Club Chairperson, please organize the Problem of the Week,
print it and email it to Mrs. Cirino, so it can then be posted to our website.
