In this paper we present a communication and discussion toolkit based on sending short messages designed for use in schools. Our approach uses PDAs in a wireless network to build an environment that emulates sending of short messages with mobile phones. The messages created by the students are collected in a database and establish a base for a discussion and analysis later on using Cool Modes, a graph based modeling and discussion system.
