// Note: This wiki has been created in order to assist collaboration among the members of the various classrooms, grade levels, campuses, and districts involved in the 2009 - 2010 Roll-out of Teachermates. //

TeacherMate handheld computers are mobile learning tools that have been designed specifically for early elementary students in grades K-2 and to provide support for reading and math. The TeacherMates include both reading and math activities that are aligned to the TEKS and district-adopted textbooks for reading and math.

This year Bastrop ISD, Pflugerville ISD, and Round Rock ISD are receiving funding through collaboration with E3Alliance to place classroom sets of TeacherMates in pilot classrooms in Kindergarten, 1st grade, and/or 2nd grade classrooms.

"The TeacherMate reading activities cover all areas of beginning reading instruction including phonics, spelling, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Students record their voice reading hundreds of fully illustrated leveled readers available in both English and Spanish. The TeacherMate math activities provide engaging math facts practice as well as scaffolded learning of key math concepts including number sequence, addition, length measurements, temperature, scales, fractions, coins and dollars, time, and geometric shapes."
