Microsoft is offering scholarships for teachers to attend NECC 2009! As part of the application process, they are asking educators to explain "how Microsoft can help you teach better?" I'm not sure there is any easy or correct answer to that question. I think that Microsoft could offer the tools to help in my student's learning. Right now, students at the 4th grade level who are studying Ohio history are using MS Word to create posters about inventors. Students use Microsoft products to create presentations, videos, timelines, web pages, graphs, stories, and many other products!
Still the most important part of planning a lesson that uses technology is knowing that using technology is appropriate for that lesson! Using technology because you have it isn't always the most effective way to teach a lesson or "get" a concept through to your students!
Teachers must know the curriculum they are teaching and understand how Microsoft products can help them in teaching their standards!
