Burns Technology Center Implements Nationwide Program to Offer Science Teachers More Science Training
 Many elementary schools supply teachers with commercial science kits to bolster science education. But many teachers lack the science background they need to use the kits as effectively as possible. The Burns Technology Center closes the loop by offering teachers easy-to-access online courses through the National Teachers Enhancement Network--Elementary (NTEN) program. The courses expand on the science concepts elementary educators are expected to teach when using the kits. They give teachers the background and thus the confidence that they need to suceed in the kit-based classroom. Scientists, instructional technologists and in-service teachers team up to design the graduate-level courses.
Burns Technology Center Adds Innovative Studio 1080 to MSU's EPS Building Atrium 
Imagine a hub where students, faculty, business leaders and campus
visitors can interact with the latest educational technologies as
well as catch up on what’s happening on campus. Imagine
a place where small groups can meet and talk to an expert they chose
to stream via the Internet into their conversation. Imagine
an interactive media wall where students can communicate from their
laptops to information around them; where images, video and the
Web fuse to showcase MSU; where with the click of a mouse or the
tap of a finger a visitor can operate a laser keyboard, touch screens,
parabolic speakers, fiber optic lighting, or a state-of-the-art
LED screen. Learn More
Burns Technology Center Helps Montana Tribal Communities Capture Oral History for Future Generations
 Montana
Indian reservation residents seek ways to preserve their culture,
history, and language for future generations. In order to help
them to use technology to share defining elements of their culture,
the BTC created the Technology and Cultural Heritage Learning
Centers (TeCH). BTC training helps the residents capture and
preserve history, stories and other tribal resources. Community
members of all ages participate; they create electronic modules
that play on kiosks in the Learning Center, sharing sacred songs,
oral histories, Indian languages and other lore.
