SMART Board 660 interactive whiteboard

I would definitely need this resource in my class because it has so many technical resources that can be utilized to engage the students in each lesson. Since this is a technological world it is needed to stimulate and motivate students. Students are constantly engaging in technology outside the school walls so it is imperative to have current technology. The smart board caters to all learning style such as tactile,auditory,and visual.


Printer

I would want a printer in the classroom to print out a letter that needs to be sent to a few students in class. It is much simpler than using the staff room computer because they are often occupied.

Portable Writing devices/ Voice recognition

I would use this to help students with special needs. It will assist/accommodate physically challenge students as well. In a regular Ed class you may have students who have a writing disability, physical, or hearing disability so as a teacher it is my job to make the learning experience accommodating to the student.
Speech recognition or voice recognition programs
Screen Readers
Alternative keyboards


Projector

I love technology but I am a person that believes in backup. This old technology can still do the task that needs to be performed in everyday classrooms. I will also need headphones,and my personal computer to do task and lesson plans. I will need a set of classroom computer for research or learning activities to be conducted in class. The library is great but often time there are many events going on at the library.
