Dream Computer!!

When given the money for a dream computer for my classroom, there were several things I had to consider. Price, PC vs. laptop, how much memory, what size monitor, what processor, and what type of software stood out as being the most important. In an elementary classroom, I believe a PC would be of much more use. The children do not know how to handle computers very well at a young age, and laptops can be difficult to use because of their smaller keyboards and touchpad mouse. At a high school level, however, I believe that a laptop would be more sufficient. Older students like to be able to work from their desk, and a laptop can provide this luxury. While doing my search, I found a PC that seemed to meet all the criteria I had for my dream computer. The Dell Inspiron 570 was the most relevant to my wants.
The Dell Inspiron 570 is just $529 on Dell’s website. This price includes an 18.5” HD monitor. The PC comes loaded with Windows 7 Home premium, and a one year subscription to McAfee security is also included. The hard drive has 500 GB of memory, which is fantastic for students and teachers because they will be saving a lot of information on the computer. The monitor is the perfect size for a classroom because it is not too small that a child can’t see it, but it isn’t too big that it takes up way too much room. Windows 7 Home Premium is a top of the line operating system, that is user friendly and very easy to learn. The desktop also comes with a 16x DVD+/-RW drive, which is necessary in a classroom because students use CD’s for learning games, projects, and countless other things. This computer is overall, a fantastic one to have in the classroom, it is the perfect size and comes with the right options to keep students engaged and help them use technology to their advantage.
