Chronicle Staff Writer Shad Cristando likes taking his business law class in one of Montana State University’s new interactive classrooms. Instead of staring at the back of someone’s head and listening to the professor lecture, students sit at round tables, work in teams and help each other learn. “I love it,” said Cristando, a business management major. “It’s a better learning atmosphere. More personal.” “My algebra class rocked in here,” agreed business student Jackie Johnson. MSU has created two “technology enhanced, active learning” or TEAL classrooms. They’re proving successful, Marilyn Lockhart, interim director of MSU’s Center for Faculty Excellence, told about three dozen faculty members who attended a meeting last week to learn more about the new teaching option.
