Teaching tech
Here is a list of some of the technology that I use to teach with. Keep in mind that I am a Spanish teacher and computer nerd, so here is what I use:
Dual Screen-
pick up an old LCD at a yard sale or Slavation Army. $20 should net you one. This way, you can show stuff to your class and take roll at the same time!
Note: Resolution may be affected, but you will not know until you try it out!

Tablet-
Ipad or Android, I know how to use both. Get one and try it out. Android is cheaper, but Apple sells high quality stuff. There is a lot of variety out there. As of 2014, there is no reason to settle for anything less than a quad core. Try to get bluetooth, and any other options you feel you may need, For android, I have an Iview 788. It was gift from my wife and works well for a beginner. If I was to do it now, I would get a bigger tablet with bluetooth.
Chromecast-
use this to connect your device to a projector with HDMI.
Dont have HDMI? No problem. Buy an HDMI to VGA adapter! It will work well for showing what you have on your device on your prejector!

Adapters-
Get a box and collect some parts:VGA to HDMI converter, external storage device (back stuff up regularly),

Cell phone
If students are to use devices the way WE want them to, guess who has to train them? WE DO! Just like teaching the importance of doing chores or jobs around the house, there are times when things may not go smoothly. Be flexible and roll with it.
With the CHROMECAST you can use Android or Apple gear and throw stuff up on screen!
