Our business department is currently trying to set forth a technology initiative that will spawn a curriculum addition. The technology initiative is to upgrade to Adobe Design Premium. As stated before this design suite contains the following software and supporting software tools; InDesign, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and Fireworks. This is the latest version of the Adobe Design Premium suites. Over the past few years we have been updated CPUs to allow our computers to have more memory, we have updated to flat screen monitors in all of our classrooms, all classroom have new keyboards and mice. So we are looking at having to do no upgrades to any hardware items in our classrooms. Since this has been done we will not need to upgrade any computers in any of our classrooms that will be equipped with the upgraded software package. Also any existing computer set ups will not hinder the upgrade or its working capacity.

Due to the fact that we are upgrading at least 50 computers with the new software; we will need to purchase a site license. A site license for this type of software upgrade will be about $11,000.00. By purchasing a site license it will ensure that we are abiding by any fair use and copyrights.
