Mission
To provide state-of-the-art instructional resources, both print and non-print, to Montana educators as they work to improve their teaching.
This collection contains several thousand print volumes including periodicals, children’s books, teacher reference tools, and over 300 optical media and software titles. In-service teachers may check out optical media for one week to preview them in their classrooms with their students. Print materials circulate for two weeks. Computer application software must be previewed in the Technology Training Center (ED 112) where multimedia workstations are available for previewing materials or for technology tutoring.
Technology Training Center (ED 112)
This dual platform lab contains 6 multimedia Macintosh computers and 23 Windows multimedia computers; all of which are connected to the Internet. It has been designated a High Tech Multimedia (HTMM) classroom because it is equipped with a Smart podium which controls an equipment rack containing: 2 multimedia computers, one Macintosh and one Windows; a laserdisc player; a VCR; a CD audio player; an audiocassette player; a document camera; and connections to both satellite and cable television. This lab also contains peripherals, such as digital cameras, scanners, camcorders, and a video capture station necessary to create multimedia presentations. This lab is used to teach computer-based classes, such as C&I 306, Instructional Media and most of the courses in the Master of Education in Instructional Design for Technology. In addition to regularly scheduled courses, the lab is used by methods classes to preview software.
