//Summary//
Thank you so much for the grant money! We are excited to update our classroom, and the following list will allow us to ﻿make learning more comprehensive, fun, and state-of-the-art for our fourth-graders! We would like to improve the computers we already have by purchasing upgrade packages, as well as the newest version of Microsoft Office to install on the computers. With a major focus on Social Sciences, acquiring the "I Love the USA" Geography game software, the Emmy-awarded Bill Nye the Science Guy dvd set (all videos correlate to National Science Education Standards for grades 4-8), and the digital interactive elementary school map, we will be providing students with an engaging and informative way to learn about the world around them! We are also requesting a new, more efficient classroom printer to print in-class projects, as well as allow us to copy and scan papers, which will be a convenient timesaver. With the purchase of the i>clicker set, document camera, and projector screen, we will be able to have interactive activities for the entire class, including group learning review games, quizzes, and polls. This [|video] gives a brief synopsis of some of the many uses of the i>clicker!

Another pioneering piece of educational technology we are excited to acquire, this one perhaps being the most versatile, is the iPad. Along with it, we wish to buy the Apple iPad camera connection kit (students can create projects on the iPad by uploading the pictures and videos they've taken on the Kodak EasyShare Digital Camera C1505), the Apple Composite AV Cable (so the iPads can be connected to our new TV and the student iPad projects can be presented to the entire class), Apple earphone sets for each iPad (students will be able to work quietly without disturbing others; also, there is a volume control option on the headphones), and iPad covers (to protect the iPads and keep them in great shape so we can use them for years to come!), all of which will allow the classroom to utilize the iPads' numerous educational uses! We have budgeted $105 to go towards purchasing educational applications for the iPad; there are thousands to choose from and they will be fun, instructive tools for students to reenforce newly learned curriculum, review concepts, and increase their knowledge.
