Summary
We chose processors to speed up the outdated computers, and make the software we chose usable. The Norton Security is vital to keep the computers virus free. The Microsoft Office software can be used to help students on projects, and to learn computer literacy. The other educational software will both cement knowledge, and teach computer literacy. The Document Camera will be useful for displaying things (including small objects) to the whole class. The Projector and presentation screen will allow the presentation of anything from the doc cam or the teacher's computer. The Printer/Copier/Scanner will allow the teacher and students to utilize the computers more. The digital camera will allow for class documentation, and give the kids a chance to learn more about photography or do their own documentation (such as during multiple day science experiments).The Ipod will allow the kids to listen to educational songs and podcasts in a way that is interesting and fun to them. The headphones let them listen privately, and the radio allows the teacher to play things for the whole class. The clicker system will be useful for interactive lectures, and includes enough individual remotes for each student. This will be help not only with teaching the students but it will also give us more time to teach because it will make grading quicker.
