Media-Related Equipment for Wonderland High School

The media center is preparing for distance education. To this end, I am equipping five computers with web cams and headsets. The web cams have parental controls so they may be enabled only under supervision which is why the Creative Lab brand was selected. The headsets may be adapted for PC or MAC use, which is why the Plantronics brand was selected. Additional items include educational media that will assist students in Web 2.0 development, college application preparation, and meet some "housekeeping" needs of the department to meet the $1,000 spending allowance.
