Microsoft can continue to provide high school teachers with great resources.<\/p>\n
I have taught Computer Science for 16 years. I have taught regular Computer Science, with QBasic, VB6, and not teach with VB .NET and through the years my students and I have benefited from many Microsoft programs.<\/p>\n
When we went to VB6, Microsoft provided software to our district. They have also provided curriculum materials through those many years.<\/p>\n
I’ve used the Microsoft Educational website MainFunction while it was up and running. In fact, I provided a lesson plans for teaching VB6 with Alfred Thompson’s Teaching with Fundamentals and won a grant through MainFunction.<\/p>\n
I’ve gone to several Microsoft sponsored staff development opportunities including last year’s game cruise.<\/p>\n
I have also given back, and I try to respond whenever they want curriculum or other items evaluated. I don’t always get to get a response back but that means they are doing the job right. I am always ready to take a few moments to add constructive criticism when needed.<\/p>\n
I’ve also participated in a local event where programmers code websites for local charities and done in Microsoft’s name. <\/p>\n
In other words, I believe our relationship has been synergist and that both sides benefit (though I do believe that Microsoft has done much more for me than I can for them.) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
