Epson PowerLite LCD Projector
Single Unit Why I need this:
I would love to utilize PowerPoint presentations in my classroom almost daily because I find that it stimulates the students and many times, I use them in lieu of handouts because of limited access to a copier.

Position:

Needs:
My classroom is barren in the area of technology. I have two computers in my classroom, one on my desk and one in the back of my room designated for student use. Both of these computers are donated computers that have been reconditioned, however, they pale in comparison to the technology that is currently available. If students needs to use the computer, it 's often at my expense because we have to share the one operational computer mouse. We also have no true access to a printer and find ouselves at the mercy of the main office, which is a difficult unertaking, My school has a room full of pieced together computers and printers, but it's more like a technology graveyard because almost none of these are fully functional.
