Hey Heather,
The way I've seen Palms used in literacy are when the objectives are down 
loaded by the quarter onto the Palm so that when the teacher observes or 
sees mastery on a specific literacy objective, she can note it by the 
objective with a "m".  After 3 "m's" the student has sufficiently shown 
mastery in that objective.  After all, the objectives are what State tests 
are created off of, right?
Hope this helps.  I used this program in Raleigh...in the Wake County 
system.  See WCPSS.net.
