Classroom Setup

"I am a 7^th& 8^th grade general science teacher with 24 students in my class. My course is only one semester long but during this time I meet with my class every day for 2 hours. All teachers in my school are strongly encouraged to work on multidisciplinary projects whenever possible and to use other subject-area teachers to assist when necessary."

There is one Internet-capable computer in the classroom. It is in a large walk-in storage closet that has had the door removed and made into a "computer space."
Up to 4 students can squeeze into this space at one time.
Because of the location of the computer and the layout of the classroom, it is impossible to connect a projection device to the computer.
