We have decided to save the remaining money for future needs.

 As a team we have chosen these hardware and software items because they seem to be very beneficial in the classroom. With more computers available, there will be less students sharing a computer which would allow more opportunities for each student to have a turn on the computer. When students are in smaller groups they have more opportunities to learn because they have less people who they can shove their work upon. The smaller the group the more work each student has to do. The wireless internet hub was an important purchase because in order for the laptops to get internet this device is needed. The Smartboard is a new and innovative tool that would also be a great asset to the classroom. With a simple touch of a finger, teachers are able to record and sa ve lessons making it fun and easy for students to learn. The ti 89 Titanium Calculators are advanced graphing calculators have many features that will be very helpful to math and science teachers. They can compute, solve and graph functions. Students will be able to check their work and understand what they are doing much better using these calculators. Both students and teachers will easily and efficiently do the following actions: symbolic manipulation, constants and measurement units, statistics and data plots, a numeric solver, a text editor, programming capabilities, tables, a split-screen function, and variable management.
