bing classroom twitter event: learn and win big!

This post was created in partnership with Bing.

Bing in the Classroom is something that I truly think every parent and teacher should know about.

It’s one of those situations where I think that if parents knew better, they’d do better. If schools knew better, they’d do better.

Bing in the Classroom is an ongoing program focused on helping kids use technology to inspire and satisfy their curiosity. It provides ad-free, safe, private search in schools, daily lesson plans that inspire critical thinking, and a rewards program that community members can use to earn tablets for their schools.

How can Bing in the Classroom help your child’s school? How can they help your child stay focused and safe when using the Internet to help with homework?

We will discuss these topics and more at our Twitter party!

Bing in the Classroom operates through three main principles
Bing in the Classroom provides ad-free, safe search for schools.
When you join Bing Rewards, you can donate earned points to donate Surface tablets to schools.
Bing in the Classroom provides digital literacy lesson plans for teachers.

Here’s the skinny. . .
