If I could have any one piece of hardware or software in my classroom, the most vital would be an ELMO with projector. The ELMO is a overhead document camera that you can place anything under it and the image is projected onto the whiteboard or pull-down screen. The projector can also be used with electronic devices to project word documents, pictures, or presentations. I think this is a vital Language arts tool because it is a great way for students to be able to interact with the text and illustrations in books without ruining them or marking up the books. Students can practice finding parts of speech in the story, or circling information only given through the illustrations. I could also save a lot of paper by working on the whiteboard with a paper projected there. It would also be better for group reading where everyone gets a better, enlarged view of the text and illustrations.
