Our total for hardware comes out to be $5,285

The nooks would be helpful because they can allow students to read different books all from one source. Getting Ipads would be a beneficial change from normal computers because they are easier to use than computers and would also allow students to use the internet at thier desk rather than having to have space for a desk and computers in the room. The projector and screen would be better than having a tv and dvd player because it allows the teacher to do more visually all from one source, giving them the ability to show power point, video clips, movies, and more all from the computer and ontop of that the screen would be much larger than a tv screen making it easier for everyone to see no matter where they are. Finally the wireless router would be helpful simply to eliminate the need for multiple internet cables and would also allow the Ipads to get on the internet.

Software- Things we should get: -2 sets of Microsoft student edition (allows three downloads per package) ($150 each $300 total) -1 set off Microsoft home edition ($250 total) - finally leave the last $165 dollars for books to be bought on the nooks ($165)

The Microsoft student editions will go on the IPads allowing a student to use word or power point if they need to. The Microsoft home edition will go one the teachers computer, and finally the last bit of money as explained will go towards buying books tonput on the nooks.

Our total for software products comes out to be $715

For the complete total we used the entire amount $6,000
