There are many different computers and gadgets that would help aid the students by allowing us to use the devices during our class time to expand our learning for history. I have assembled a short list of computer devices that I feel that my classroom needs. The students are already using technology all around them so adding more technology in the classroom would give the students a better opportunity to succeed.
The first device I want to have in my classroom is a projector. The projector would need a drop down screen to view the display to make it easier to see. There are many things projectors can be used for. If the teacher wanted to show an educational video the projector would allow them to do so. Projector would make it easy to show current events in class that are going on. Projector makes classroom presentation for student easier because it allows them to use computer software like PowerPoint to help them with their speech.
The next device is the Hp photosmart all-in-one color inkjet. This device would allow the teacher and student to print, copy, or scan items from the computer or into the computer. This device would make it easy for the teacher because if the teacher needed to print out handouts it would be easily available to the teacher. The students could use the printer to print out their reports and turn them in to be graded. The scanner is useful for showing mistakes that might have happened on test or classroom assignments.
The following device is the Apple Mac Pro 3GB Ram desktop pc hard drive. The Mac system graphics are so much better than the other types of operating systems. The Mac would make it easier for the teacher to draw their students into the presentation as well as help show the kids who to work and use some of the newer software that could help them in their presentations. Mac is slowly becoming the leading operating system so it would be smart to have the operating system that most the kids will have when they go home.
The next device I would need is Acer 19" widescreen monitor. This monitor would allow the teacher with the best type of visual that is needed to fully see the use of the Mac software. This monitor has good graphics and is also one of the cheapest monitors a person could find.
Logitech computer wireless mouse and wireless keyboard is needed for the desktop computer. These two items are very cheap and allow for the teacher to move around a bit without having cords that limit the teacher to standing or sitting in one spot. A mouse and a keyboard are two very important devices that are needed to help run a computer. Without the two devices, a person would only be allowed to turn on the computer and stare at the screen.
Below is a chart of all the devices and the asking price of each item.
ViewSonic Projector $369.00
AccuScreens for Projector $180.00
Hp photosmart all-in-one color ink jet $69.99
Apple Mac Pro 3gb Ram destop pc hardrive $2,499.99
Acer 19" widescreen monitor $82.00
Logitech computer mouse and keyboard $54.99
Total $3,255.97
I hope the committee will see that I am not asking for too much. I just want the basic technology that will help students learn more about history and allow me to give the students a better opportunity for learning.
