As a result of the grant, Montana JASON teachers will be offered online, year-round training on technology integration through the use of Team JASON Online. The grant will also allow the Burns Telecom Center to offer additional JASON workshops that will focus on technology integration in the classroom. Rural schools new to the JASON Project will have the opportunity to receive partial scholarships from the Oracle Grant to aide with the costs of the program.

Furthermore, the grant will allow the Montana JASON Project to offer video conferences to schools all across the state featuring researchers and the work they are performing.
