The decisions on which hardware to choose was a difficult one since there is so much out there to choose from. The first thing we chose was the Elmo camera, tablet, and projector. These will be used to show things straight from the computer screen, but also from the table that the camera is on. It will be projected onto the manual projection screen at the front of the classroom. We replaced the 5 out of date computers with 3 brand new Dell computers, and one Apple IPad 2. On there they will be able to work on different educational software and programs that will be specific for their needs. We also purchased 3 reading Nooks for the students to read from, and one printer/copy machine.
 * __Summary__:**

A lot of the software we purchased was to help students in the areas of math, science, grammar, and reading. The Hearbuilder Following Directions is to help teach students the importance of reading the instructions and doing exactly as said when doing an assignment. This one is very beneficial for them for the years to come. Finally, we purchased the whole Microsoft Office package for students to become comfortable with all the different aspects of it at an early age.
