The smartboard is a excellent choice in classrooms today because its improves audience participation and enhances comprehensive learning. It is very user-friendly and a lot of good feedback about it.- Stacey Saul Every classroom needs printers. You could hook up the two printers to the classroom computers. Therefore, students can print out assignments, notes, and etc. The desktop computer is a MUST in a classroom. With today, technology is on the rise. Kids need to learn how to use software and do research on the internet.
 * Stacey Saul:**

The smartboard (that Stacey found) is not only cheap, but extremely efficient and advanced. It allows the teacher and students to interact on a completely different level than they normally would. It also allows teachers to educate students in a more positive and advanced way than they could without one. Classrooms around the country tend to have computers in todays society, they allow students to surf the web and participate in class in ways they normally wouldn't. The Dell XPS 8100 is not only an advanced computer, but cheap enough to remain within the budget and provide students with a very strong piece of technology. With the computers students will need a printer for assignments or projects done in class. The Xerox Phaser 6125 is able to connect to multiple computers at once and prints in both black and white and color.
 * Philip Rappaport:**

The Oregon Trail and Where In the World Is Carmen Sandiego? are age appropriate, educational and fun for students. They're both fun ways to incorporate software and social studies education. Both software programs have new versions that are compatible with newer Windows systems which makes them great, cost effective choices.
 * Kayla Davidson:**

Google Earth is a phenomenal program to have in any classroom, especially one that deals with the history of the world. The basic subscription to Google Earth is free and when combined with the purchase of the smartboard, the classroom becomes a virtual vehicle for the students to go and see any part of the world they are studying. ** The "History" software would also be great for our classroom because it is so expansive. It includes over 6,470 images, 24 hours of audio books, 4.5 hours of video and quizzes to reinforce the information provided. This also could be utilized to its full potential with the smartboard. The TimeLiner XE program would also be a great asset in our history class because it is a quality, interactive way for students to understand the chronology of historical events and really put elements of history in perspective.
 * Chase Fults:

The Epson- 3LCD Multimedia Projector would be needed to project lessons or videos the teacher has constructed on her computer, so that the entire class is able to view them. The HP Pavilion Elite HPE-110t Series Desktop Computers would replace the five currently outdated computers in the classroom. The Lexmark Interact S605 Wireless All-In-One Printer, Copier, Scanners would provide the classroom with quality printing at an affordable price. **
