In addition to the training in accessing these treasuries on the Internet, each teacher receives a state of the art laptop computer for classroom use. Those in attendance Tuesday took home their laptops. This program and Montreat College are an appropriate match. Students in the college's teacher education department are provided the opportunity of participating in this program along side the teachers. The college's education department continues to experience rapid growth.
Technology is integrated into all of the education courses.
Most of the department's offerings are online. Field experience courses are also online to better track students and stay in communication with teachers. In conjunction with the Library of Congress program, Montreat has plans for a new high technology education facility on campus. The four member institutions are working with the region through education and research to develop and sustain a globally competitive workforce and an enriched quality of life for Western North Carolina.
