If money was not a barrier, what 10 technology tools would you use in your classroom?
I'm certain your list will be different and will vary according to the context in which you work; many of these will also become obsolete. But, if money was no barrier, what would you use in your classroom to enhance teaching and learning for your students?
ICT Equipment for Every Classroom:
These are 10 ICT items I would like to use in my classroom. They are in no particular preference; some of the items I am already using and others are
Hi Ross – probably won’t surprise you that I’m commenting on this post!
You’ll know that several of the functions you identify can actually be achieved with the same device … any of the higher-end tablet devices can be podcast studio/camera/visualiser/video camera etc – which if a hybrid device (with keyboard) can be even more useful… and I’d urge your readers to think carefully about the potential of such devices – which also enable you to re-purpose content quickly and easily – before buying ‘individual’ sole-purpose devices such as visualisers etc.
However, if you need the highest resolution/fastest rendering/biggest screen… the tablet probably won’t be the right choice…
Hi Steve. Comments always welcome. Be keen to see what device you’d recommend

Cadie’s trainings were more important on ICT integration in education setting but the problem is ressources in order to implement what we learnt in the training.
What about Hardware Requirements? I would put a GeForce GT520 GPU and Intel core I5 4GHz into each PC because that
is in my opinion a good combo for viewing “Heavy” pieces of multimedia. In my classroom PC`s are so weak that they can`t
handle even 5 GB picture! Also use a good 500W power supply and a 2 TB SSD would be perfect.
True. The choice is often out of a teacher’s control as their employer tends to provide the infrastructure…
