You need to determine the best configuration for setting up a lab with laptops/desktop computers and peripherals for a class of 18 elementary school students and one teacher. Ipads are not within the Budget. The specifics of the Project are:
1. Research whether a Mac or PC is more beneficial

3. Which peripheral devices should be attached to these computers?
How many will be required to set up the computer lab… ex.Printers, Digital
cameras, Mics, Speakers, any learning devices ……
Give technical details of all peripherals suggested.
4. A class of 18 might have about 3-4 special needs kids. Plan for at least three kinds of special needs requirement (ex Autism, Vision impaired, Hearing disability, ADHD…)
