Recent Activity Welcome to Burnsville Elementary School’s Media Center web page. As your media coordinator, I teach students how to find and use the “tools” they need to acquire and evaluate information. As students search for information pertaining to their classroom curriculum, they are also learning valuable 21st century skills that enhance life-long learning skills. We enpower our students with the knowledge of accessing and evaluating information in a global society.
