Intel Compute Stick

The new Intel Compute stick is a small USB device that will turn any old TV screen into a fully functional computer. By connecting this device to an old TV screen or monitor, you will have the capabilities to do everything you can do with a low-end computer you may buy at Wal-Mart. It will give you 2GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage, an atom processor, and even a Micro SD slot to add more things to your "homemade" computer if you would like. This stick sells for roughly $150. This stick would be a very economical purchase for the classroom. Desktops and laptops are very expensive compared to $150. The Intel Compute Stick could help make technology in the classroom a more attainable goal for administrators. The Intel Compute Stick could be used in the classroom with the white board, and make the white board interactive. The teacher could have educational websites directly on her board without having to use her computer. I believe the Intel Compute Stick is a good choice for quality and cost effectiveness in the educational classroom. What a great way to get technology in our student's hands at an affordable price.
