Fundamental Questions :

“How do core [CS/CE/MIS] concepts map to Microsoft technologies?” It’s all about teaching concepts, not technology products.

“Who else is teaching [the subject] and what materials are they using to teach it?”

“How will Microsoft help me deal with limited time and resources in the face of rapidly changing technology?”
