Microsoft Chooses 6 Schools for START.

[JMH]

Microsoft and the Corporation for National and Community Service have selected six US-based schools to participate in an initiative designed to explore the role technology can play into the evolution of teaching and learning. The six institutions are from California, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia and will participate in the Service & Technology Academic Resource Team (START). Of course, START is just one of the projects in which the Redmond company is looking to technology to provide answers for the schools, teachers and students of tomorrow.

i think this is good. MS has supported education for a long time now and this is taking it a step further.

I like this....sounds like the students and teachers can actually be learning from each other. If that is the case, and it feels more like a partnership than a boot camp, then the students will enjoy the whole process more, and apply themselves further.
