This summer we were very busy upgrading the technology in the lab. We now have: - Laptops! The old desktops have been moved into teachers' classrooms, and we now have 27 Dell laptops set up and ready to go.
- Updated programs: Photoshop Elements 6.0; Google Earth; Google Sketch-Up
- Audio Recording: We have purchased 5 Califone headsets with microphones and a Snowball mic for interviews, podcasting, and video narrations.
- Headphones: Our old headphones were in terrible shape; we now have
new blue Caliphone headphones with better sound quality and more durability.
- Color Laser Printer: This can produce lots of prints economically for printing out all those projects!
