 * What we have:** several computers in each classroom; document camera and projector in most classrooms. Staff who are interested in acquiring additional classroom computers.


 * What we would like:** one-to-one computer-to-student ratio (prefereably netbooks) so that students can have the hands-on experience with technology (simultaneous, synchronized instruction and practice). Survey data indicates that both teachers and students are receptive to the use of technology and welcome additional computers in the classroom. Educational World research indicates that a one-to-one ratio increases student achievement, improves student engagement, compliments project-based learning and prepares students for tomorrow's workplace.

Approximately $300 per student computer; additional funds necessary for tech support and to replace/repair as necessary.
 * How much it costs:**

Contact the heads of (local) major corporations to request funds (Microsoft, Boeing, etc.) Request funding from PTA Search for grants School fundraisers Technology grants (OSPI)
 * How to get this funding:**

Based on the data collected from our survey, we believe we need to give staff a technology proficiency exam in order to determine what the needs are of the staff. If they are to use these additional computers to effectively integrate technology into their instruction, they will first need to attend the classes we invite them to (content to be determined based on exam results).
