CLT

I really enjoyed our trip to the Center for Learning and Technology today. I didn't even know it existed. I think it's great that there are so many resources there, like Macs, PCs, scanners, DVD converters, and tons of software. One of the things I thought was really cool was the Video Conference Center. It is equipped with a satellite down-link and Polycom two-way video, so a class can conference with another class in a different country. That's awesome! I'm not really into things like graphic design or making movies, so I don't see myself spending alot of time down there. Since I'm currently pre-med, I don't really see any of my classes requiring work that would need to be completed with the resources the CLT has to offer. I suppose if I wanted to convert a course paper to a pdf I could use the scanners in the CLT. If we had a design project for Computer Skills, I think I would definitely go down there and take advantage of all the Mac design software. I would also love to take advantage of the DVD converters because alot of my favorite movies are in VHS. If I had time, I would like to go to the CLT and just experiment with a Mac. I've never used one before, so I probably don't even know of all the software and capabilities they have, but I would like to just see what there is. It's good that there is always someone available to help students because I would definitely need it.
