 * Summary:**

To equip a classroom with new technology with only six hundred dollars was not easy. We started with an interactive whiteboard. These are a popular item for schools today and will allow the whole class to share technology. With the whiteboard the classroom can share presentations, brainstorming, maps, and can even save lessons for viewing later. This is the most important tool we decided to purchase for the classroom.

Along with our interactive whiteboard, we purchased three desktop computers. We went with decent and affordable Compaqs. These three computers came with operating systems and should be perfectly effective for the software that we selected to use on them. These computers would be set up in the room as stations for the students to use on educational websites and for any activities set up by the teacher. The teacher can also use one of them for their own work if necessary. With our desktops we selected monitors and a laser printer.

We also picked out a 3 kindle fire's for the students to share and for the teacher to use as an extra resource when necessary and a digital recorder that can be used to record notes and lessons for students who are auditory learners. This can also come in handy when some students with IEP's need extra assistance.

To start off our software we chose Kidspiration because after testing the software we find that it can be beneficial to students and is a great aid to creativity. We also selected Google Earth which is free and is an excellent aid in geography lessons.

Each computer will also be equipped with Microsoft Office which has many important uses in the classroom. Students can use Microsoft word to type papers and writing projects, Excel is a good resource for math lessons, and Powerpoint can be used to created interactive presentations. students can make presentations for projects, and of course the teacher can make them to provide visuals during lessons.

To finish off our software selections we included a free antivirus to protect from outside threats that might sneak into our new computers.

Everything we have selected should provide the classroom with an efficient working environment that integrates technology into the classroom.
