Bio

I work for Microsoft in the academic relations team. As a former teacher myself I try to help high school and middle school teachers with computer science education. Web design, programming, and related are key areas that I work in. I am also working at helping STEM programs to get more students interested in computer science and other technology and engineering fields. I was a teacher for 9 years - 8 years in high school computer science and a year as an elementary school "computer specialist." I've also written several programming text books and project books. I love to talk to students about the computer industry as a career. Visit my computer science education blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/alfredth
