Summary: We decided to purchase several different hardwares and softwares to install and use in our 1st grade classroom. To begin with, we purchased hardwares. This included 6 Ipod Touches, 2 Ipads, a computer, several printers, a digital camera, a projector, and a projector screen. The Ipods were purchased specifically with the idea that they could be used during centers for reading. The students could record themselves reading and then listen to themselves. This allows for them to correct their own mistakes. They could also be used for remedial help with other subjects as there are tons of apps for everything. The two Ipads were going to replace two of the 5 outdated computers as they have internet, apps, music, and more! A computer would replace another one of the 5 outdated computers and students could use this for the internet, typing, or other softwares installed on the computer to enhance their learning experience and expose them to technology. They would also learn how to type with one of the softwares we purchased. This is a vital skill that they will need to know all throughout their life in this technologically advanced time. Other softwares we purchased focused on science subjects. This included basic science facts, the weather, and an encylopedia of nature. We also purchased some fun, interactive software such as Arthur's 1st Grade program. All of these softwares were intended to integrate technology into the learning process and make learning fun for our 1st grade students.

We spent a grand total of about 4,100, and the rest of the money will be kept in a maitence/repair fund. The children are in first grade, so its likely that one of them might break an item, so we have the rest of the money as a type of insurance.
