**Summary:﻿**
Based on the given resources we decided to keep the five computers in the classroom. In order to make these computers accessible for current needs we would like to add Microsoft Office which will allow our students to use Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Next, we would like to increase the computers and add five Toshiba mini Netbooks and a mouse for each computer. In order to ensure each computer has the capability of accessing the internet we would like to buy a wireless router. We would organize the 25 students in the classroom, into five groups of five, so that each group would have access to a Netbook and each netbook will come with it's on sleeve to keep it protected. An additional five computers in the classroom will give each student more time on the computer for assignments and learning software. The learning software we would like to install on the Netbooks is JumpStart Study Helpers Spelling Bee, JumpStart 5th Grade Adventures, Math Arcade, Cluefinders Reading Adventure Deluxe, and Kidspiration. The software chosen provides games and fundamental techniques that will enhance and supplement current curriculum. Also we would like to add a printer to allow students the ability to print current projects.

We would also like to extend the technology in our classroom to each student and provide a Kindle and Kindle cover. A Kindle is a wonderful tool that can be utilized for group activities as well as individual learning experiences. When using the Kindle we would like to make learning fun so we would like install three learning applications for each Kindle. The first application is Math Star which provides students with a math challenge. The application features 100 math levels with different levels of difficulty and math techniques such as addition and subtraction. The next application we would find helpful for the Kindle is Spelling Star. Spelling Star can be used to help students with nouns, adjectives, verbs, and spelling. Also this application has the ability to save a student's progress to come back to and build on their developing skills. The final application we would like to add to each Kindle is Word Soup. Word Soup is a fun game that allows students to spell words out of a larger word. This game can help students with vocabulary and spelling while disguising it as fun. Lastly, we will being using a digital camera to track our classroom progress with the new teachnology we will be using. We can use our camera to upload the pictures onto an online blog to show our progress.
