Find information about eMINTS4All equipment requirements.

Things to consider

• Thin client/server-based computing alternative model is approved by eMINTS and DESE.
• At the middle school and high school levels, the equipment specifications may be set up using the traditional eMINTS equipment configuration (including one computer for every 2 students) in official eMINTS classrooms for content areas determined by the school. Middle school and high school implementations also may be set up with a one-to-one laptop distribution for students and complementary equipment for teachers (i.e., laptop, SMART Board and projector).
• Anything above minimum in hardware is acceptable (for example, upgraded memory, graphics card or sound card).
