New Classroom Setup 2006-2007

After our presentation at FETC 2006, I received many emails from people asking for more information about how we went about setting up the classroom. People wanted to know exactly what we purchased for my classroom and how much it cost. While at FETC, my principal determined that she could outfit our new classroom with handhelds for about half of what it cost to setup my class. Here are the specifics about what was ordered and the cost to setup Paul's classroom next year. In my classroom, I also have two other pieces of essential equipment. One is a laptop computer and the other is a projector. I use them almost daily, especially when introducing new programs or setups to students.
