The most important thing a school should have nowadays is an interactive whiteboard. It includes all the imprtant features of a fully equipped computer, a beamer a DVD player, a flat screen and an audio player. It even can be used to teach new vocabulary to the whole class, to show movies or let them listen to conversations or songs by adding speakers. After working with the interactive whiteboard, the teacher can print out the results and hand them out to the students. Therefore, a printer should be bought. It is important to mention, that printers will bring continuous costs with them because they need paper and cardridges. In order to give the students the possibility to listen to their own pronunciation or to enable them to record interviews a school should buy a couple of portable audiorecorders.
Usually, a school should have as many interactive whiteboards with it's additions and portable audiorecorders as possible, but with a budget of 10,000€ they could buy two sets of equipment, containing two set



How a school should spend 50,000€

5x interactive whiteboard              = 20,000€

2x video camera                           = 2,400€
2x projector                                  = 2,000€
2x software (office etc.)                = 1,600€
2x access to online ressources   = 1,200€
2x flat screen                               = 1,000€
5x printer                                      = 500€ ++
2x master eye tool                       = 400€
5x speakers                                 = 300€

As in the example above the most important thing to buy is an interactive whiteboard with one speaker and one printer each. With 50,000€to spend a school could afford to buy 5 of them. Additionally, it could buy 30 fully euipped computers for two rooms. By doing this, two classes can work computerbased with 15 computers each. Therefore, the school could also buy additional material. Each room would need one projector to visualize the results, one package of software and access to online ressources for a good learing environment of the students and one master eye tool to give the teacher the opportunity to check what the students do. Two additional classrooms could be equipped with one flatscreen each and a video camera for movie projects. And of course, the school would need the portable audiorecorders again. 26 of them would be enough for two or three classes to work with them simultaniously, depending on the project.
