In our elementary school classroom, technology is large part of our curriculum. With the $6,000 we were able to purchase aids that will help our children learn in a whole new way. The printers were the most necessary purchase since they are to be used for so many activities. From printing transparencies for our new projector to printing activity pages for the students, two printers were a must! Next came the SmartBoard. Incredibly versatile, the board will make a huge difference to our classroom. Though expensive, the board can be used each and every day to increase the experiences the children have and the hands on interaction that occurs in the classroom. The software we decided to purchase with our money was very well thought out. The Microsoft Home was a needed addition to the computers and will be helpful each day as we create word documents and creative projects. Kidspiration, an amazing program, was a favorite by all our group members and so it became a must for our classroom. We will be sure to make use of it as we create Science, Math and English inspired project. The Schoolhouse Rock video that we found and purchased will be helpful in creating connections from our curriculum to real world through a fun video. Overall, the money was an amazing asset to our classroom in that in enabled us to purchase the technologies needed to enhance the learning experience of our students.
