Technology Teaching with Technology

The Media Center promotes the effective and efficient use of educational technology in teaching and learning. We will assist instructors who wish to use the creative application of technology in their classroom.
  

Technology can be applied in the classroom:

- To enrich the learning experience with audio, video and
       still pictures.
- To repeat and reinforce material in different formats in order
       to address various learning styles 
- To simulate, repeat and analyze a process
- To engage the students through the senses
- To save time by offering reinforcement and review outside of
       the classroom
- To enhance communication
- To make learning fun!
