Welcome to TRAC!

What is TRAC? The Teacher Resource and Activity Corner is a curriculum center designed to help education students and teachers plan and prepare effective and creative classroom instruction.

TRAC has these primary service zones: 

  • Computer Lab: includes desktop computers, laptops, iPads, headsets with microphones, scanner, copy/print options, and an Oculus Virtual Reality station.
  • Education Library: houses over 30,000 items to support the scholarship and development of teachers, including professional books and DVDs, K-12 textbooks, Infant through Young Adult literature, and a wide array of educational extras like classroom tools, tech-oriented kits, manipulatives, games, models, and more.
  • Maker Workroom: set up with large format printers, laminators, button-makers, binding machines, extra-wide paper trimmers, digital and manual die cuts stations, and (NEW IN 2021!) a Glowforge 3D Laser Printer and Makerbot Replicator 3D printer.

Everyone at KSU is invited to use TRAC! Members of the local community may also use TRAC. Please speak to a staff member about your specific needs.
