CLT Visit

My first visit to the AT&T Center for Learning and Technology (CLT for short) was during my freshmen year. One of my frat brothers introduced me to this place. During my visit on October 16, I learned that they have renovated the Video Conferencing Room. I was unaware they had a Digital Audio Lab, Media Presentation Lab or Innovation Studio. Furthermore, with the CLT's 26 computers (14 PCs, 12 Macs), faculty and students have another campus option for computer access. Moreover, to my knowledge, the CLT is one of the only places on campus that has scanners. On Trinity's website, the CLT states that their core mission is provide faculty, students, and staff access to technology, media and training that enhance teaching, learning, and research; to design, create and maintain learning spaces that enhance instruction and pedagogy; and to distribute and maintain media and media equipment for instruction and campus events. The staff of CLT and various technology options definitely enhances learning, teaching and research.  For example, if I wanted to record a song, I could not only record but digitally alter the song. Also, I could make my own beats. Moreover, the Video Conferencing Room allows teachers and students to talk to distant teachers or students all over the world. Although the CLT is located on the first floor of Coates Library, it provides a quiet setting for studying or other activities.


I could use the CLT for our class in my different respects. I could write blog posts, work on homework and get help with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). 


I could use the CLT for other classes as well. For example, in my Sport Management class, my team of four has to produce a video for our semester long project. As I have mentioned, I could use the CLT for recording and editing a song.
