 * Although there were originally six out of date computers, I feel that using $1500 of the budget to upgrade four of them is an efficient use of money. We could save money by using the monitors from the old computers. This way, four new computers with decent specs are available for the students to use. I ran under the assumption that the old keyboards and mice would have the old, non-USB style cables, so I included four keyboard and mice bundles to go along with the computers. Four headsets were also added to the list so that students that were working on the computers would not have to disturb the rest of the class, assuming that there are different activities going on at the same time. I included a laser printer for the classroom because it’s important for students to be able to print of documents, assignments, or anything else that they might need without having to find a printer elsewhere. **

[|TimeLiner XE] - $97.00 each. $388 for four computers.

Microsoft Office is essential for word processing and presentations on the PC computers purchased. I found a teacher bundle including Norton Security. TimeLiner XE is a software that helps you map out pictures on a timeline for presentations. It’s very easy to use for students. TimeMaps is a software that displays a map of the world. On the map it gives detailed information about the history of the land depending on which map you purchase. The TimeMaps go all the way back to the rise of the Roman Empire, to the Atlantic Slave Trade. The total purchase of these software came to $1,488.00 dollars.
