Technology Request Feedback Thank you for great feedback on our technology in the workplace survey. Common thread was we need as much training as possible in portable, mobile, Apple devices since all of you are using them in some form or fashion. With that information, we have requested a MAC lab in the 2012/13 college funded TAF program, have planned faculty development training on the latest mobile technology and have integrated more hands on lab work in the curriculums.
