The AspireRevo computers are a cost effective measure to replace the outdated computers, with the new programs students will be able to use them in a variety of ways.One of the things students will be able to do is to use the new computers together with the Smart Scope.The Smart Scope will allow students to closely examine a variety of rocks and compounds.The program could be used to teach and show students the basic differences or similarities between rocks and substances found on Earth and those found elsewhere in the solar system. The SMART board comes with a variety of programs that can be tailored to specific curriculum needs.Like the Smart Scope, it provides an opportunity for hands on learning and allows teachers to easily use them for presentations or as an alternative to the traditional whiteboard or chalkboard. The Canon printer serves many purposes, allowing teachers to scan materials, fax messages, and print and copy handouts.
