<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Summary: Our team looked through various hardware and software to compile a list of our necessities in the classroom totaling $5,973.48. We thought the Mimio Teach Interactive System would be an excellent addition because it would allow interaction with students that incorporated technology and hands on learning. To aid this, we also wanted the Mimio Vote Set, which would allow each student to have one remote. This allows them to participate with activities from their seat and can enhance their learning (for example, they could submit answers for a pop quiz). Our team also found it necessary for the teacher to have a laptop to have at home and at school, so his or her work can be in one spot and have the same programs that the students have access to. We acknowledged that the classroom had five outdated computers for the students to use. We decided to buy Windows 7 for those computers, along with five Microsoft Offices. In addition to this, we bought four mini notebooks, which included already included these systems. However, in case they are a trial version, we will install Edubuntu Operating System and OpenOffice, which are free. With a total of ten computers (including the one at the teacher's desk), the students will have plenty of access to research and other academic activities while in the classroom. To enhance this, we also invested in an All in One printer, so the students will be able to print out anything they may need in the classroom.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The additional software we bought will vary by computer. We bought iSpring Quiz Maker, which would go on the teacher's laptop, since student's will not need access to it. All nine student computers (excluding the original one for the teacher) will have <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%;">Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary Word Genius for enhance their vocabulary. Each computer in the classroom (excluding the teacher's laptop) will have EdAlive Spell Force and EdAlive Reading for Literacy to enhance spelling and reading. Each computer (excluding the teacher's laptop) will have Evernote and Dropbox installed on the computers so the students can easily access and share their work at school and at home.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%;">Thus, our classroom will not only have technology integrated into the curriculum, but the students will be surrounded with different tools and programs to help with learning.
