8th grade Team       Technology Requests for 2005-06

As requested, our team has requested the following items for next year.  They are in the order of importance

1.	New computer for Stephanie Gehrig.  

2.	Upgrade/repair/replace Kelli Grom’s computer.  (She continued to have trouble with it.

3.	Scanner for the MS Computer lab 

4.	EITHER

a.	A portable lab with lap tops for a class that would include a printer/scanner that has network access.  This “lab on a cart” would allow us to shift computers to the class that needs them the most. We would hope the cart could hold a class worth of lap tops.
b.	2 student workstations in each of our classrooms that would be hooked up to the network. 

In addition, we would like as a building or district to consider the following:

1.	Purchase of a 2nd video return cart.

2.	Replacement/upgrade of tripod on Video return cart #1.  It has been “repaired” several times but was of low grade to begin with and continues to give us problems.

3.	A digital camcorder
