Well, why did I choose these new media equipments? First of all, it is very important to own fully equipped computers so the children have the possibility to work with the internet, word, excel or power point at school. By this they achieve helpful competences that they may need later on in life - for example in a job. This explains why I decided to buy the software as well. The audio recorders are quite helpful to do some listening comprehension tasks as well as the CD player with MP3. 3 flat screens and 3 DVD players are useful to show a movie to underline a topic talked about in class. I just decided to buy one interactive white board, because they are really expensive. I think each school should have one which can be used by every pupil and every teacher.

The ten fully equipped computers, headphones and speakers as well as the softwares listed are all important to teach the right way of handing new media. Pupils get to know how to do research and how to use the internet in an appropriate way. The ten projectors and 10 laptops are good to combine with each other. The laptops can be carried around and that is why they are a useful support during a lesson, when a teacher wants to underline a topic they are talking about, by using the internet, a power point presentation or a video. I decided to buy four flat screens, because the teacher can show some movies or interviews that make a lesson more lively. Because of the fact that the standard green boards are going to disappear in the following years, I would buy four interactive white boards, that are available for everyone. By this teachers can create individual lessons and can use many different aspects of new media to make a lesson more interesting and varying for the pupils.
