Hi,
I used handhelds in my classroom when I was a 5th Grade teacher. They are a wonderful resource!! I am now a librarian and will probably be placed in charge of the handhelds we have in our building. I am creating a presentation on handhelds for a college course I'm taking. Would it be possible for me to hyperlink to this video for my presentation? It is a wonderful video and has great information that I think will be valuable to my presentation.

Thanks!
Debbie
