More importantly, the devices would give the students access to Itunes U (a huge database full of many free educational applications), lectures from universities worldwide, and other learning tools. Educational videos can be downloaded to the iPod touches for the students to watch and learn, and they will have access to free streaming sites such as YouTube. Also, if students play educational science games against one another on their individual iPod Touches, it will encourage them to learn more than their classmates. Many applications for the iPod Touch are free, which allows us to use money in other areas.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Essentially, a Smartboard works by taking an image of your computer screen and projecting it onto another larger screen, in which you are able to manipulate and edit the projection as if it’s a giant touch-screen. The Wii Smartboard is a good, less expensive alternative to the Smartboard. There are many activities for the Wii Smartboard and it will keep the students involved. It is really fun and easy to use. We plan on applying for a projector through the Brighter Futures grant or getting one donated. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Brighter Futures <span style="color: #0066cc; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Projector Central Donation
