 * Summary:**


 * The Elmo Camera is a way that students can see information on the projector screen. This was chosen so that the students will be able to see whatever information largely as a class. The elmo can save the teacher from printing and handing out this information.
 * The new slim USB is a portable CD ROM that will be used with each laptop provided to each student. Because the laptops chosen do not have disk drives the slim USB acts as an external disk drive, this way the students will have a full functioning laptop when they need one. The disk drive will also allow students to burn CDs with movies they have made in class for a project or with lectures they have missed and need to watch to catch up.
 * By providing our students with USBs they will be able to save the work that they have done in class and continue it at home, and also vice versa. The cost is very reasonable for all of the space on the USB to store assignments and work on, and it is much easier to transport work from location to location with no stress.
 * The HP paper and printer will be used to provide students with the opportunity to create and print projects and other various information to help further their education.
 * The 7' mini netbook computers will be used to allow student to surf the web in order to further their research and assist them in finding new ideas, or elaborating on a particular subject in class. The netbooks will also be equipped with Microsoft Office 2007, so that the student can use word document, powerpoint, and excel, to sharpen there office skills. This will provide students with a way of connecting with the world wide web, and also with people from around the world.
 * The HP printer will be used as a portal for students to print out any important documents they made need for class or any upcoming assignment. Something may have gone wrong with their printer at home, so having one in the classroom would be especially convenient.
 * The classroom projector would be very helpful in the classroom. It allows the teacher to display anything on the wide screen at the front of the room, visible to all students. It allows students to learn without wasting a bunch of paper through handouts, and also makes it easier on the instructor due to the accessibility of the product.
 * The video camera would be very effective to help students with creating projects such as advertisements, movie presentations, and would allow them to take more creative freedoms in their presentations. It also allows the assigning of movie-related projects without having to worry if students own a video camera themselves.
 * The wireless router is very important because it allows the netbook computers to connect to the Internet. There isn't much point giving students computers then not allowing them to connect to the Internet, where a wealth of information is available to them!
