Technology+Needs

1. I am a K-2 Emotional Support Teacher.
====2. I would use a MacBook Pro OS X version 10.8.4 operating system. This system is easy to use and accessible for young learners. It comes with important features such as safari, iMovie, garageband and many more. ====

====3. Learners will need 8GB (two 4GB) memory and the instructor will need 16GB or equivalent. ====

====4. I want all the computers to have at least 500GB of hard drive space. This is more than enough for elementary students to complete their projects. ====

====5.I want the computers to have a 2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i5. This will allow the computer to have a number of applications open without slowing down. ====

Four USB 3 ports
====These features are very important because they will allow students to create many projects including iMovies, powerpoint presentations, voice threads, podcasts, digital story books, etc. ====

====7. A single computer cost $1,429.00, however Apple offers an educational discount of $200 off individual iMac computers ====
