Learning Towers and How to Use Them

Learning towers, which have been installed in several of our classrooms on both the Puyallup and Ft. Steilacoom campuses, allow teachers to easily bring technology into their classrooms.

It is connected to a video projector and consists of Mac and Windows PC's, DVD Player, CD-ROM, VCR, microphone, and wireless keyboard and mouse.
