= Summary: = Since the computers in our classroom are completely outdated, we thought it would be important to get all new hardware in our classroom. We are going to start by purchasing brand new computers. We decided to go with 5 Shuttle Computers because they are not only efficient, but also very inexpensive. These computers will give us faster results and they have benefits such as WiFi connection. With the new computers we will also purchase brand new monitors, keyboards, mice, and a printer. We also decided to purchase a Toshiba-Progressive Scan DVD/VCR player. Although we already have a new DVD player, we thought it is important to also have VCR just in case. We will also purchase 5 Kindles. The Kindles will add all kinds of benefits to our classroom. It for one brings in more "computers" since it has WiFi connection. There are also apps that our class could benefit from. The best benefit from the Kindles is it allows us to download books for our class. This will save room and paper! Our biggest purchase will be the Hitachi FXTRIO77CPA220ARM Bundle Package for K-12. This touch pad is one of the best new technologies that we can bring into our classroom. It is an interactive projector that allows you to make presentations, write this with the touch of your finger, have as many as 3 people working at once, has internet links and so much more.

With all of our new hardware, it is also important that we get all new software for our classroom. Obviously we will need to upload Microsoft Office on all of the computers. This will give our students Word, Excel, Power Point, and One Note. We also though that we would see benefits from subject software. We decided to purchase Math Blasters to make math educational and FUN. We also thought it was important that we got a typing program. Computers are becoming a necessity in life and it is important that students know how to type efficiently. We also purchased a science program. All of these software programs will make our class more interesting, which overall helps students learn.
