Your answer is 5.

Didn't your teacher tell you that Wikipedia is an unreliable source? Elizium23 (talk) 12:11, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See the article Educational technology for ideas about activities and equipment in the planned room. Consider also how the room may best be used for meetings. One could meet these two situations by moving chairs and tables to create either individual work stations (students facing outward) or a discussion milieu (participants seated around a table).

Consider too the infrastructure changes. You may wish to have a store room or secure cupboard to store this valuable equipment. Don't forget extra power points around the room, data and video cabling to connect computers and projectors and screens. The school might also want to spend some on public relations or advertising to get more students/income. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:25, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PR is not considered in the question but it is a reality that an organisation that spends a million South African Rand ( US $63,802 ) will want something impressive to show for it. This alone might suggest emphasizing extra large screen TV(s), interactive whiteboards and language learning stations in advertising the school. DroneB (talk) 23:22, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
