After several years of understaffing, the Media Center in 212 Tillman is receiving serious attention again. We will be working closely with Caroline Mills, a doctoral graduate assistant who will serve as interim director of the Media Center, to make the Media Center a showcase for the School of Education. Many, but certainly not all of the upgrades and innovations in the Media Center will involve technology, and we will assist where needed whether the need is technology-related or not. Technology-related efforts include moving the technology equipment checkout to the vault, establishing a videotaping “mini-studio� in the “orange room,� and setting up stations to support student development of e-portfolios. Current plans are to blend Media Center and Computer Lab personnel into one unified resource that will shift from room to room as needed.
