iPad

​The iPad is one of our favorite technology devices to have 
in our classroom, there are multiple ways to use a iPad in your classroom, whether you use it for yourself or for your students. We have a 4 page document on how to incorporate a single iPad into your classroom.

Apple TV

If you get an iPad for your classroom we highly recommend that you buy an Apple TV to go along with your iPad. The Apple TV will project your iPad wirelessly to a Projector or TV.

GoPro

Absolutely love the Hero7 GoPro for my digital media and web design classes. These capture some great film and videos for my student's projects. Also I ordered the mono-pod to go along with the GoPros. Here is a link to the one in the photo.

Interactive Whiteboard

The Interactive Whiteboard is an amazing asset to the classroom and we were lucky enough to have it in our classrooms. This projector lets the teacher and students be interactive with the whiteboard (which would explain's it name). It projects your computer just like a normal projector however you can control everything on your computer from the whiteboard by using a special pen. It's great!

USB Microphone

This microphone is perfect for students to add on top of their desktops, laptops, or even chrome books. We use these to record podcasts, audio for videos, etc. 

Video Camera

This device is great to have in the classroom for students. Whether you
need them to use it for projects or just daily assignments. There are so many different video cameras, therefore make sure to research which camera is best for you. In our classrooms we use the Sony HE HandyCam, it's is a handheld video camera with a touchscreen. 

Computers/Computer Carts

Computers should be common among teachers, however mobile computer carts may not be. Computer carts are great for technology to be more mobile for educators and students. If you would like to check out some different vendors for mobile cart solutions click on these links:

Just like the video camera the camera is great to have the in classroom for either students or the teacher. We have our students take pictures for assignments and projects. We also take pictures for ourselves to show students working in the classroom. There are a lot of different camera's to choose from so make sure you reaserach different cameras to figure our exactly what you would like.

The Maker Bot is used in classes to print 3-D objects. Students create their objects using Autodesk Inventor, and then their objects are printed on the 3-D printer. This device is amazing to have in your classroom! We highly recommend it for all teachers!

Swivl

The Swivl is a robotic mount for an Ipad, camera, or smartphone that comes with a remote control Marker. It is designed to track and, with the video capture abilities of the other device, record videos of a moving person. It was designed to capture presentations. It also has 4 microphones to record the audience during a lecture or presentation. This is great for all teachers in their classrooms!

The Cricut will help you make personalized, professional-quality projects with ease. With their family of smart cutting machines, you can cut and create projects for school, home décor, parties and events, weddings, apparel, and more.
