  • Team Name: Team EE3
  • Team Leader: Janet Duarte
  • Assignment: Module 7 Classroom Technology Scenario
  • Class Level/ Grade: Elementary School
  • Final Date of Completion: 7 July 2010


Hardware Items:

- 3 computers:
There should be three computers because most elementary schools in florida have AR reading tests that each student has to complete on the computer. Having more than one computer would be easier than having the students wait in a long line. I looked them up on BestBuy.com and found a desktop for about $380.00 each.
- 1 printer/scanner:
The scanner would be so that the teacher can scan things onto the computer that she could modify or email. The printer would be hooked up to the teachers main computer and the three separate computers I found a deal on BestBuy.com saying that if you buy a desktop you can save $40-$60 on a printer. So that might work. I found on Staples.com printer/scanner for $80 total and since we only need one printer/scanner I think that is a good deal.
- Projector:
The classroom needs a projector because it is easy to have different slides to put up on the screen and have them projected onto the bigger screen. I could only find projectors at the cheapest for $3,000.00.
- Camera:
We could be able to use it a camera/video recorder. We could post pictures on the classroom website and video's of children completing different things during the school year. We would have to get a paper signed by each student's parent or guardian that lets us take these pictures/videos. BestBuy.com has many different camera's ranging form $89.00 to $200.00.

Software Items:

  • Microsoft Office:
    The cost would be around $149.99 on Microsoft.com. This would be useful in the classroom because of the variety of different programs it has in this package. Mostly we would be using Word and Powerpoint for presentations and/or projects. This can help the children in adapting skills for computing reports and making cool projects using these new and advanced technologies.
