AlphaSmart's Dana Wireless
AOL@SCHOOL Integrated into DanaWeb Browser
AlphaSmart is now integrating AOL@SCHOOL's educational search engine into its DanaWeb Browser, the Internet browser included with the Dana Wireless for the K-12 market. This partnership allows students and teachers to quickly and easily seek out safe, age-appropriate online content from their desktop or any learning environment. To access the Internet from the Dana platform, users simply tap on the DanaWeb icon, which immediately presents them with a search box. Unlike traditional search tools that identify thousands of sites from a single keyword request, AOL@SCHOOL returns a targeted list of prescreened educational sites that have been reviewed and selected by education experts. "We are excited to expand the reach of the industry-leading AOL@SCHOOL service beyond the traditional desktop environment," says Mark Stevens, the newly appointed director and general manager of AOL@SCHOOL. "By combining the connectivity and portability of the Dana Wireless with AOL@SCHOOL's targeted education search engine, we are giving students a convenient one-stop-shop for Web research and report development."
