The Wonders of CLT

Last week, our class took a tour of the facilities in the AT&T Center for Learning and Technology located on the first floor of the Library at Trinity University. When my professor told us we were going down there I thought "Great! A field trip to somewhere I've been before!" and my mind started going to fishing trips or whatever. We went down to the basement-that-I've-seen-so-many-times-lost-in-the-library (last year was confusing, to say the least) and walked into the Video Conference Center. This, my friends, really cleared up a lot of things. One thing, in particular, became clear. As Robert Chapman gave his little speech about the wonders of CLT, I realized that THIS is where all my money was going! They have 26 powerful computers (albeit there are only 12 PCs for the 14 computers-which-must-not-be-named) and 11 scanners; they have the Digital Audio Lab, where students and faculty can use the synthesizer, digital audio importing and editing software including expensive stuff like Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, and even Pro Tools (the last one I was especially excited about); they have a Media Presentation Lab and a place to learn the wonders of TLEARN and the like. Very exciting stuff if I do say so myself...and I do. I will most definitely take advantage of the AT&TCLT for presentations, making music and video, and anything else that my relatively low-end laptop is quite incapable of doing. It is a magical place.
