CLT

This past Thursday we visited the AT&T Center for Learning and Technology which is located on the first floor of the library. Honestly, I had no idea this place existed and it is simply the BEST PLACE on campus!!! Mr. Chapman explained to us about the wonderful resources that can be found in this place. There are 26 computers in total (14 Macs, 12 PCs) and eleven scanners. Apart from having the basic tools like Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc.  each computer also has advanced features like  Photoshop and web-design tools. With all its amazing equipment, this is where you want to be whenever you need to work on a multimedia project. There are even student workers and employees who will gladly teach you how the programs function. 
The CLT also has its own video conferencing system (in HD) that provides the communication with students who are studying abroad, professors who are not at the university etc. From what I understood, this software can actually be downloaded by students and staff. 
 In general, the AT&T Center for Learning and Technology is a great place to "explore the world of educational technology" or even a nice, quiet place to study. I will definitely go back and take advantage of everything that is available to us.
