 * __Summary__**

The projector will allow the teacher to project items off her computer onto the screen for the whole class to see. This allows videos from the internet and PowerPoints on lessons like the Alphabet to be shown. The wireless gateway allows the computer and the projector to be connected without wires which makes the classroom safer. Purchasing 5 Flip Camcorders allows students to make videos. They can make videos on certain skills at the beginning of the year and then as the year progresses more videos are made and the teacher, parents and students can see their progression. Camcorders also allow the students to make fun videos for their parents. The simplicity of the Flip camera makes it easy for children to use. The USB on the camera makes downloading the videos to the computer, to be shared with the entire class on the projector, easy. The printer will allow the teacher and the students to print materials they can use for class assignments. The headphones are great when students are using software that include sound because they will not interupt the rest of the class.The Smart Board allows the students to be more a part of the lessons; it comes with a wireless remote so the teacher can teach from anywhere in the classroom. JumpStart Kindergarten and Elementary Advantage both are great educational software programs. Both programs offer comprehensive, interactive activities to help children learn effectively, gain confidence, and improve their grades. Children are able to play fun games and learn at their own pace. Both programs focus on problem areas and review lessons to maximize their impact. Students will be able to use both of these programs to help them in basic subject areas such as math, reading, writing, spelling, science,geography, and language arts. Webroot Antivirus Spy Sweeper will help protect computers from crashing or recieving any viruses that might harm the computer. My First Science Explorer would allow the kids to see experiments first hand that they might not have been able to see otherwise. Reader Rabbit would help reinforce their learning math through games. The Smart Software goes with the Smart board. It includes one teacher license and unlimited student licenses. This gives the teacher the ability to use the same software from year to year. Learnt o Fly with Dragons helps to teach kids the philosophies of helping and sharing with fun games and activities. The Smart Board cover would help to protect the Smart Board when not in use.
