**Summary:**
The printers are an essential hardware item that all classrooms should have. We decided to add two printers for our technology list since with 25 students, not everyone is going to be printing at the same time so we figured two printers would be able to support 25 third grade students. We then chose to get two Olympus point and shoot digital cameras. The cameras are waterproof, shockproof, and very easy to use. They are mailed via free shipping and they come with all of the necessary parts and cords to upload pictures directly onto any computer. They also come with a 2 year protection plan for just $45. We are replacing all 5 of the outdated computers with 6 brand new eMachines computers. The computer systems contain the desktop, keyboard,speakers, and mouse and almost all of the reviews were very good for this computer. Also, we are getting 6 new monitors to go along with the computers, they are flat screen and were fairly inexpensive for their quality. The Kidspiration Software is great when brainstorming ideas for projects and assignments. It has a 5-computer license so for each of the new computers, we can download the Kidspiration software. The Elmo Document Camera is meant to replace old overhead machines, and xerox copies. The Elmo can be hooked up to any computer to show students websites, videos, and update the class blog as a class so everyone can see. One is plenty for a class of 25, not to mention they can get pretty pricey. But well worth the investment.
