Mission
The mission of the College of Education's
Instructional Technology Center is to provide an instructional laboratory environment with
computers and other technologies for use by pre-service and in-service teachers, college
faculty, and staff. The ITC encourages and supports using technology as a tool to
facilitate and enhance student learning. The ITC is committed to supporting individuals in
the quest for lifelong learning and enabling individuals to become leaders in the field of
educational technology.
To fulfill this mission the ITC produces
manuals and brochures,
hosts seminars, and holds training sessions for students, faculty and staff
each semester. These sessions are designed to provide hands-on experiences
in the use of current technology trends in education and to promote the
meaningful integration of technology into the curriculum. Student and
graduate assistants are also available to help ITC patrons on an individual
basis.
Our technology center is filled with the latest
equipment and software for use by students, faculty and staff of the college
of education. The center offers computers with internal CD burners, video
editing stations, color scanners, digital still and video cameras, a color
laser printer, Macintosh iBooks with firewire, and VHS conversion equipment.
The ITC also has several PC laptop computers and projectors that faculty and
students may check out and use for on and off-campus presentations. In
addition, we offer an Assistive Technology Demonstration Lab complete with
hardware and software for students with both physical and learning
disabilities, as well as 300+ P-12 software titles available for preview.
In addition to our technology-related resources, the ITC also
houses a textbook, video, kit and journal collection for research and lesson planning, and
a letter cutter and laminator that aides in the creation of instructional materials.
