Position:
Library Media Specialist
Needs:
I would like to have about 12 laptops or smaller computers for library classes. It would be super to be able to provide digital cameras and digital video cameras for class projects. I have a need for a multimedia projector with a brighter light for the library presentations. I would like some MP3 players to be able to check out digital books and audio books to students.

My philosophy is that we need to teach children to learn. The more projects they are involved in the better their learning skills become as they have to adjust, adapt, relearn, plan, and accomplish/completethe project.
