I want to thank each of you for attending the Microsoft Imagine Academy portion o
Rolling Roadshow. I enjoyed meeting you and also seeing some familiar faces aga
always a pleasure to work with fellow GA teachers. I hope you enjoyed the presen
and learned something that you can immediately use in your classroom.

During the workshops, some teachers expressed interest in obtaining more inform
regarding the 50 free lab license upgrades. I am attaching to this email the informa
you need to upgrade your labs for free!

As promised, I am providing you with some valuable resources. Using the link bel
you can access my shared OneDrive. On the OneDrive, I have uploaded my Power
presentation that I used during our workshop. In addition, you will also find a list o
practices for implementing Microsoft Imagine Academy in the classroom. This list
compiled using the input received from you at the end of our workshop.

Microsoft is thrilled to support and amplify the work of Harvard

University's Professor David J. Malan by offering a 2.5-day complimen
workshop to dive deep into the new CS50 Computer Science Principl
course. A new introductory computer science course, Computer Scie
Principles is a year-long course for secondary students. This exciting
course is designed for all secondary students, with or without compu
science or programming experience and educators who have previou
taught computer science. Educator professional development
opportunities are available through Harvard Extension School and
Microsoft.

Like the groundbreaking Harvard course, CS50 Computer Science

Principles is built on same three pillars of rigor, accessibility and
community. This course, in partnership with Microsoft, provides all th
course curriculum, and projects to successfully complete and prepar
the AP exam. The training ensures that teachers are able to successf
deliver this new course in the upcoming school year.
