 * Summary:**

While coming up with software items we put a lot of thought into what we needed for an elementary class. We knew virus protection on computers would be a must because we want the older computers to work as much as they can for as long as they can so with the virus protection it keeps the computers running smoothly. We also picked many educational games like "Arthur's Thinking Games" "Readers Rabbit's Math" because students we have fun and learn at the same time. We feel that when we incorporate fun games with known characters like Arthur would help children really like playing the games on the computer as well as not even knowing they are learning. We choose to buy 5 of each of the computer software games because we wanted them to be on every computer so that if two students want to play the same game they can play them on two different computers making it easier for them to enjoy learning as well as having fun doing it. We loved used Kidspriation on our assignments so to have it for children to use and experiment with is an awesome idea and makes them develop more creative ideas. For the hardware items we decided to go ahead and get 6 cameras to use in and out of the classroom so we can have 7 groups go around and take pictures and also be able to lend them out and have plenty to share. We have the color printer so that we can print pictures but we also got 4 all in one printers so that each computer we have will have it's own printer to cut down on over use and to let each child print whenever they need to and not have to wait. We got a projector and a projector screen so we can do better presentations and let the children be able to use powerpoints and new ways of expressing themselves through they different presentations. We bought 5 web cams one for each computer so that children can make their own videos and if we ever decide to have conversations with other countries or group chats to help stimulate a new style of learning. Also, the electric pencil sharpener so that sharping with be quick and easy so that we can slow down the line at the manual pencil sharpener.
