e-Services
A variety of computing resources are available to BEd, DipEd, MEd, PhD, and Continuing Teacher Education candidates for class presentations, preparation of teaching resources, and review of educational software.
 
Two general computing labs contain Windows-based computers.  Additional computers are located in labs, classrooms, and work areas throughout the building. A special multi-use tiered presentation theatre is available with multi-media equipment as well as recording and webcasting capabilities. All computers are connected to the local Education computing networks and to the Internet. Most classrooms and lecture theatres have network connections, a laptop with data display projector and multi-meida equipment. Classroom sets of wireless laptop computers are also available for class use as required. Specialized peripherals include laser printers, scanners, digital cameras, synthesizers, and specialized software for such things as art, music, multi-media production and internet publishing.  (Limited printing resources are available at the Faculty, and teacher candidates are encouraged to bring their own computer and printing equipment when they are on campus.) Commonly used curriculum-related software, provided to all schools in Ontario under site-licenses arranged by the Ministry of Education, is available on most computers.
 
Incoming candidates are encouraged to have basic skills in computer use, including fluency with a basic word processor, database, spreadsheet, email and the Internet. Candidates are encouraged to increase their skill level by taking part in workshops or online tutorials before they arrive, or by registering for workshops provided by Queen's Information Technology Services. From time to time the Faculty of Education also offers workshops for teacher candidates on the educational uses of technology.
