A key element of Ready to Teach is the Technology Integration Laboratory at the Graduate School of Education. This state-of-the-art multimedia environment will be available to faculty, preservice teachers, and cooperating teachers to design and produce instructional materials for university and K-12 teaching. The Lab will provide an informal drop-in site to explore and create technology integrated instructional materials. The Lab has ten individual workstations ( 6 iMac DVse's & 3 Sony RX-260 DS's ). The Lab is also equipped with the following items: Color Scanner Color Printer 1.44M Floppy Drive 100M Zip Drive DVD Drive CD-RW Writer USB and Firewire ports Although each workstation is capable of Digital Video editing, two stations are also equipped with a VCR and media converter, which allows us to convert older VHS video to digital video.
