I really enjoyed our class field trip to the AT&T Center for Learning and Technology (CLT). CLT is located on the bottom level of the library and is the home of TigerTV and TLearn. There are tons of opportunities in CLT. They have scanners, Mac and PCs, photoshop, video/audio editing, and video and camera rentals (with professor permission). CLT is also working on a new system, in which all lectures would be filmed and available to students. Many professors feel like this would decrease attendance, but I agree with the staff of CLT that filming lectures would increase how well students retain information. The more times a student hears something the better he/she will understand it. The opportunities at CLT are really endless, especially with the help of the staff that work there. Students can make movies, songs, websites, and even art!
I will definitely use CLT in the future. It would be very silly not to take advantage of everything CLT offers. I'm sure I will use CLT in computer skills to work with photoshop! I have to make 2 websites this semester for classes, and I know I will be in CLT many times to work on them.
