| Data

computer onto a classroom screen. We have lots of different names for them,
but if you ask for it by this name, we'll know what you mean. |

one if you're using our computers to access the internet. WIRELESS ACCESS IS SPORADIC IN SFSU CLASSROOMS. |

Multiplayer: This little gem can do it all: VHS tapes, commercial DVDs,
DVD-R, CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, mp3s, wma, photo CDs. We will need to know what
classroom you will be using it in, to assure that the correct cables are
included. |

| AUDIO: |

| CD/Cassette:
This does three things: play CDs and cassettes in stereo and records cassettes
in stereo. It does not come with a microphone. Please ask for one. |
 |
| Phonograph:
They are old and have not had a new
stylus in quite a while. But they are a surprisingly refreshing trip
through the way-back machine. |

Some ways to use it:
- Ask
for a wireless microphone to amplify your voice.

it up to a laptop to hear sound files associated with Powerpoint.
