    Materials and Resources

        In developing our lessons and activities, we made some assumptions about the hardware and software that would be available in the classroom for teachers who visit the LETSNet Website. We assume that teachers using our Internet-based lessons or activities have a computer with the necessary hardware components (mouse, keyboard, and monitor) as well as a World Wide Web browser. In the section below, we specify any "special" hardware or software requirements for a lesson or activity (in addition to those described above) and the level of Internet access required to do the activity.

    1. Special hardware requirements: A scanner and access to server space to store portfolios.
    2. Special software requirements: None.
    3. Internet access: A Medium-speed (28,000 BPS via modem) or high-speed (greater than 1 MBPS via network) connection.
