Trip to CLT

Last Thursday our class took a tour of CLT (Center for Learning and Technology), located first floor of the Coates Library. Robert Chapman gave us the grand tour and described the many possibilities that CLT has to offer to not only staff but students. Video conferences are hosted in CLT for teachers, and this is done by a webcam where teachers are able to communicate to someone in a whole different room. According to Robert Chapman, students can utilize CLT for converting VHS movies to DVDs, record presentations, use scanners, and even organize and alter personal music. Now knowing all of the things CLT has to offer, I will definitely use these resources, possibly in organizing my music, and even scanning diagrams in my neuroscience book! For this class I could utilize the scanners and get more experienced in photoshop. it is also very helpful that the Macs are there, which will help me become familiar with my own that I just bought! In counting the computers, I discovered there were 14 Macs and 12 PCs, which total 26 computers. There were also 11 scanners, which are always available for use. I will definitely be using CLT in the future, and taking advantage of all of the resources it provides!
