Classroom+Technology+Scenario

= Miss Small’s Wish List =

HARDWARE
Apple iPod touch 8GB $229.00 -- $230.00 I would love to provide each one of my students with an iPod touch for use in the classroom. I recently read an article on the Apple website about a 4th grade classroom that made use of the features of the iPod touch in their classroom everyday. Students were able to record themselves reading their reading books and play back this recording to see how they are pronouncing their words. Many of the students also made use of educational apps to practice their math lessons. As I already stated, I would love to be able to provide all of my students with this type of technology, however my budget only allows for one. I would use this tool in the classroom to work with students who may be struggling with their reading in order to help them. This camera not only allows you to record, but it also allows you to tke still shots as well.

Apple iPad 2 with Wi-Fi 16GB $499 --- $500 I think that this technology would be a great asset to a classroom. I love apple products because they are easy to use. I think that this product would be a great way to help my students learn. I would love for my students to be able to research different topics from their own desk with this lightweight technology.

Sony Bloggie Camera &129.99 -- $130.00 This camera is easy to use and easy to carry—perfect for little hands! I would love to provide my students with a camera for the classroom. I would love for my students to be able to act out skits of their reading materials as a small group. It would be fun to be able to record their skits and play them back for the class to watch. I think that not only would this be fun for the students, but it would allow them to be able to visualize what they are reading better by acting it out.

SOFTWARE
Ablesoft Inc. – Teacher’s Toolbox $29.99 -- $30.00 This software helps teachers to focus more on what is going on in the classroom, then paperwork. This programs allows teachers to create their own grading system, update assignments and due dates, and attach images of students for easy student identification. This product will not only save teacher’s time, but money as well when they will not have to waste paper and ink for paperwork.

Kidspiration 3.0 $59.95 -- $60.00 Some of us have used this software before for another project in this class. I personally fell in love with it. The software is easy to use. I enjoyed being able to customize my own visual maps. I would install this software for use not only by myself, but also for my students. I think that it presents information in a fun and easy to follow manner. This program would be grate to help my class with their thinking skills, reading and writing skills, as well as their math skills.

__Miss Amanda Whitaker's "Purchases"__ HARDWARE This space-saving computer is great for the classroom! It's sleek, all-in-one desgin eliminates the need for a bulky tower. The students will enjoy the 23" WLED screen and 1080p HD screen. This wireless, energy efficient laser printer, students will be able to print beautiful documents and pictures with total ease.

SUMMARY The addition of these new hardware and software items will be a great improvement to our classroom. A new computer will speed things along and the implementation of a new printer will provide the students with a chance to have a beautifully clear hard copy of their projects and assignments. The educational software items I have selected are both fun and relevant to many areas of study. The students will have fun playing the many games and will be learning many of the same material covered in our regular cirriculum.

 * **Nikon Coolpix L24 14 Megapixel Digital Camera - Black 26239**

This camera is $95.00 online, but it can be estimated to about $105.00 to be safe! This camera works great and has many features that are useful. This camera can be used to capture fun moments on field trips, field day, fun Fridays, etc. Parents will love this because they will be able to see their student having fun and learning at the same time. Students will love this because at the end of the year they can make a scrapbook of their second grade year and be able to look back at the scrap book for years to come! As a teacher, I can take pictures of fun activities every month and post them on the classroom bulletin board to give the classroom life.

One can be separated and still be able to compelte their assignments. This netbook is $195.00, but we can assume that it can cost as much as $205.20.=

=This is a great deal because second grade is when students are in the most critical part of learning how to read. This product can help poor readers to catch up if they are behind and it can also help those that are already ahead.

This Interactive Software will be a great asset to our school. This software integrates technology in a classroom setting, keeps students involved and interactive with one another. Keeps students energized and engaged and motivated and I think it will build not only technology skills but also social skills.

The primary vision for the smart boards will help increase technology proficiency in our 2nd grade classroom, help create active learning skills, social interaction skills and help improve test scores. The Smart Board and the Interactive Software can energize, engage and motivate our 2nd grade students. Not only will it benefit our students having this hardware and software installed in our classroom but also it will benefit many teachers. Teachers will be able to demonstrate computer techniques, and visit websites from the Smart Board. Another benefit for using the Smart Board is a teacher can write notes that can be saved for students that are absent. Student and teachers will be able to write, drag and drop files, browse the Web and save files using their fingers.
