    The Talking Calculator looks and functions the same as a regular calculator
    except that it has a built in speech synthesizer so that every key pressed is
    heard out loud.

    Cost is available for $21.00 for a basic type calculator up to $649 for an Orion
    Talking Graphing Calculator TI-84

    This technology is essential for students with low vision. It can also be used at
    home for budget expenses, calculate interest, calculate a loan, plan a trip, etc.
    Functions include:

    ● Large number keys for visually impaired


    ● Speech synthesizer comes in male/female
    voice and different language options.
    ● Headphones included for those with
    moderate hearing loss.
    ● Basic math calculations, scientific, algebra,
    trigonometry, graphing and calculus.
    ● Volume adjustment.
    Emerging Technology

    5G Technology

    Technology in the classroom at the rate we are developing technology is


    unavoidable. The most important factor for the hardwares to run
    properly and efficiently is a strong network system.

    On average, wifi costs about $50-$100 for a household. For a school, the
    cost is $500+ a month for wifi. Now with 5G developing, Verizon Wireless
    for example is investing $17-18 billions of dollars in 5G network. The
    price of wifi will only go up with better internet service.
    Benefits:

    ● Quick downloads
    ● Powerful network
    ● High speed
    ● Low latency wireless
    ● Holographic teacher- can lead
    discussions on specialized topics
    ● Virtual reality experiences
    ● Less delay on devices.
