"The TLC"

The E. Desmond Lee Technology and Learning Center (TLC) of UM Saint Louis' College of Education functions as an educational technology hothouse: A place to learn about important developments in the field while receiving paced and specific support. The TLC is maintained as a state-of-the-art environment with the directed aim to mirror and model excellent technology integration in the modern classroom. In service to this objective, a number of technologies are made available in and outside the Center for developing and carrying out technology-based projects. Please visit our online tour and technology overview for more details.

The TLC is a generous gift from retired St. Louis businessman E. Desmond Lee. He helped create the Center around the vision of UM-Saint Louis Education Dean, Dr. Charles Schmitz and Dr. Carl Hoagland, Emerson Electric Endowed Professor of Technology and Learning, current Director of the Center. Unlike UMSL's other technology computer labs, the Technology and Learning Center has as its primary focus to meet the needs of teaching professionals: college faculty, students, K-12 teachers, counselors and administrators. We are committed to helping our clientele use technology in new and exciting ways. [MORE >>]

Our primary donors were there — Monsanto, Sigma-Aldrich, MasterCard, and Boeing. Also, note the photo of Chancellor George, as his contribution to this project exceeded all others! You’ll also undoubtedly notice the photo of Carl with Tom Scott and Brad Roane of KBR who built the facility. Tom and Brad gave MSEC a new barbecue grill for the deck! And last but not…
Compared to , deployment of has been much simplified. You know in XP, when it asks if it can connect to Windows Update to get drivers? Yeah, that actually does stuff in 7. Dealing with changing ‘s is also no longer a problem in 7. 7 handles deployment quite gracefully. We can literally just run Sysprep and deploy the image, and 7 will figure it out. Now, this isn’t the most effective way to Sysprep a machine, but if you need a quick image for something and you don’t mind sitting through the setup process, it works. Just like…
is THE file format to use when sharing documents with colleagues electronically.  While many tend to send word processor files, presentations, and spreadsheets in their native editable formats, they most quickly discover that not everyone purchases the same programs, much less have the same version, and this isn’t even getting into whether they have the same fonts available on their machine! Enter the Portable Document Format (PDF), which as its name suggests, is portable.  It allows you to create documents, presentations, etc. and share them with colleagues knowing that everyone will be able to view the document and be…

by Sarah Falkoff
There are so many options for technology in the classroom in our society.   Since technology is constantly changing, companies are coming out with newer technology all of the time.   From new SMART software to using Web 2.0 in the classroom, all of the technology is being used to move education forward.   If students have many options and avenues to collaborate, find information, and ask questions of students and staff, it will really teach them more than content.  This will also help move them toward furthering their social skills both in person and online.  Towards the end…
