<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Summary:
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Our group decided a SMART Board is the perfect addition for our high school history classroom. They make presentations interactive and zero set-up for both teachers and students. Since they mirror the computer screen with the additional USB cable we purchased, there is no need for other video equipment (DVD Player, speakers, etc.). The projector will mainly be used to display content since the SMART Board cannot project everything, but if the bulb blows out, the SMART board can be connected with the USB cable so the lesson plan for the day can continue on and still be productive. Since the internet unlocks an infinite amount of sources to teach from, additional information for your lessons is only a click away. The SMART Board software we purchased is a notepad application that copies whatever marks you make with the markers into a single document that you can email out to students if they are absent from class.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">The updated computers would now be able to run up-to-date software and be more user-intuitive for current and future students. Even though the internet connection is wired, netbooks still make sense because they are easily maneuverable in the classroom which allows you as a teacher to know when students are on the internet, since the computers will require being plugged in where the current computers are. They also have full-sized keyboards so they don't feel any different than typing normally. Microsoft Office is essential to the computer, so that students can perform whatever computer tasks the class may require (specifically creating documents, presentations, and spreadsheets). The Anti-virus software will help keep the computers usable and malware free.
