Technology Classrooms
The College of Education supports several high-technology, fully-mediated classrooms to help pre-service teachers master skills using new digital technologies. These rooms include visual presenters, digital projectors, smart boards, VCR and DVD players, in addition to networked computers. A college-wide wireless network allows students and faculty to join the internet at any location within Bluemont Hall.

Interactive Video Conferencing
The College of Education maintains two video conferencing solutions helping faculty and students communicate in near face-to-face environments around the globe. These two solutions– PolyCom® and Adobe Connect™– enhance many of the College’s instructional and research activities.

Asynchronous Distance Learning
In developing a distance learning initiative, the College of Education has made a significant commitment to K-State Online as a tool for instruction. Faculty and students share lessons, assignments, and documents while participating in learning activities from on or off campus locations.

The Catalyst
The hub of the College’s technology learning environment is the Catalyst. Located on the lower level of Bluemont Hall, this space is designed to give students access to digital learning tools in a pleasant, collaborative work environment. Students can use technology equipment and access skilled and knowledgeable technology support while working in an area supporting the College’s commitment to diversity, the Midwest Equity Assistance Center (MEAC) Library.
