"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 >>]

At the University Missouri-Saint Louis, the Computer Education and Training Center has undergone major changes.  For more information about the center click here:
As a teacher, finding time to collaborate with your colleagues can be challenging because of the time you spend grading, planning, working with students, and completing other tasks set forth by the administration, district, and state. Being five teachers from different areas throughout St. Louis, we all understood this challenge too well; however, there is one program that is free to the public that could revolutionize the way not only teachers collaborate with each other, but also how teachers and students communicate. Google Wave is an interactive “email” system that allows for easier communication and collaboration with whomever you choose.…
View Full Album (all photos, except the large group shot, by Micheal Butler) The Grand Opening of Math Science Education Central (MSEC), the math/science extension of the Technology and Learning Center, was a glorious event today. 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 my…
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…
