FAQ
A classroom technology upgrade can include laptops, desktop computers, monitors, projectors, interactive displays, printers and audio equipment. Choose categories based on the subjects taught, the software used and whether devices will be shared or assigned to individual students.
Check for Wi-Fi compatibility and the ports needed for existing classroom equipment. HDMI and USB-C can connect compatible computers to displays or projectors, while USB ports support accessories such as keyboards and mice. Bluetooth allows compatible wireless peripherals to connect without a cable.
Start with the operating system and technical requirements of your school’s learning platforms and applications. Compare processor, memory and storage specifications against those requirements. For shared computers, look for support for separate user profiles and compatibility with your school’s device management tools.
Classroom audio equipment can include headphones for individual listening, headsets with microphones for online discussions, and speakers for group playback. Check whether each device uses a wired or wireless connection and whether its microphone and audio controls are compatible with the classroom’s computers.
Common accessories include keyboards, mice, webcams, charging hubs, docking stations and cable organizers. Display adapters may also be needed when connecting newer computers to existing projectors or monitors. Match connectors, charging requirements and operating system compatibility before choosing accessories.
