Trinity's High Tech!

The first time I went to the first floor of the library was during my Bio lab.We were learning about citing sources from the Internet. Then i saw this open room with a number of computers, I found it interesting. But finally because of Computer skills class, I came to know the importance of the room. The area is called AT & T CENTER FOR LEARNING AND TECHNOLOGY. Though computers are not my thing but this room was fascinating.

The Studio@ CLT had so many technological equipments. And this was the actual open area I saw the other day. They have scanners, color,black & white laser printers and audio and visual editing software. This area is open for students and faculty for creating and editing videos for class presentation. Then we moved to the Innovation studio for faculty members. In this room technology workshops for faculty are held. They use PC for teaching. At the moment they are teaching the faculty about TLearn. This would be so helpful because most of my professors use Blackboard and not TLearn. Blackboard is popular among my professors.This would help balancing the softwares in posting course documents.

As if that wasn't enough, there was actually more to see. The video conference center is the room open for professors and students for making videos to be used during classes. And if you don't know what to do like me, Ruben Rodriguez is there to help. All this is made possible with the help of polycom video conference facilities. Not only can you make videos at Trinity but also there are editing equipments for sound. This happens in the Digital Audio Lab. This room is open to faculty and students. The room is used for recording and incorporating sound into the videos and presentations made. This room has sound editing hardwares to make everything perfect. On top of that, this room can be used as a recording studio. There is a guitar and keyboard, for those students who have a passion for recording but didn't get a chance, they can actually do that here at Trinity. To finish it off, there is the Media presentation lab. This is where all the videos and sounds recorded can be displayed and evaluated. This room has touch screen computer to access the presentation and speakers. All of this is powered by the Internet service provider AT & T.That was when the field trip ended.

For the four years that I'm going to be here, I will definitely use the technology from CLT. The audio and visual recording studios will help to make my presentations much more effective for most of the classes that I will be taking at Trinity.I'm going to use the technology from CLT in my computer skills class, since we will be starting Adobe photoshop and iMovie that requires the technology. I'm so glad Trinity has all this technology, because I won't have to worry when I'll need to use it.
