This request combines two items. The computer is for my Journalism class. Currently we publish our school newspaper online, using a standard layout provided by our web host. This is great, because it means we can include lots more articles. Now we want to add a printed version, which we can post around school and share with more of our student body. With the Mac Mini, my Journalism students will learn the basics of page layout and design, while allowing us to feature our work much more widely around the campus. The color laser printer will benefit all my students. In addition to using it for our newspaper print edition, my English classes will use it for a number of our favorite projects. For example, students create a fictional product, and then make an advertisement for that product. This assignment is always a highlight—it's so great to see how much creativity students pour into their work. And we do a cross-domain project where students create a promotional brochure for a company that offers time-travel vacations to visit events they have studied in History class. Both these assignments produce work that looks great on screen but weak in black and white, and often the readability suffers. A color laser printer will let me print my students' work so it looks its very best.
