The
Technology Methods Lab is located in room
127 and 128 of the Schindler Education Center on the UNI
campus. Thirty-one eMac desktop computers are available.
(See additional specifications below.)
Through the Teacher Education Curriculum &
Technology Project and student fee money, the TML was able
to acquire numerous Apple Education Series to build an educational
software base for the lab. Currently, the lab owns more
than 180 different software titles relevant to K - 12 curricular
areas. (Follow the "software" link near the bottom
