2) IPod Lab ($7,499.00) http://education.apple.com/ipod_learning_lab/

By bringing iPod into the classroom, educators can expand their curriculum by integrating audio and video content to more easily engage all learners. With the iPod touch, students have access to the Internet, a suite of productivity tools, and core curriculum content, in a mobile, media-rich style that lets them learn as they live - on the go. And with the Apple iPod Learning Lab, educators have a simple and cost-effective way to manage multiple iPod devices in the classroom.

+Foreign Language: (by Breezey Melton)

Webcam - by purchasing a mobile webcam, Breezey's foreign language classrooms will be able to hold video conferences with individuals in other countries who speak these languages. Hearing native speakers speak the foreign language is much more effective than simply hearing the classroom teacher speak.
