Windows Azure biedt een SLA die een beschikbaarheid van 99,95% garandeert en stelt u in staat om maximaal beschikbare toepassingen te bouwen en uit te voeren, zonder dat u zich hoeft te richten op de infrastructuur. Windows Azure biedt automatische besturingssysteem- en servicepatches, ingebouwde netwerktaakverdeling en bestendigheid met betrekking tot hardware-uitval. Windows Azure ondersteunt een implementatiemodel dat u in staat stelt om een toepassingsupgrade uit te voeren zonder uitvaltijd.

Partners in Learning Teacher Education Initiative

Posted: 31 Mar 2013 03:06 PM PDT

The Microsoft Teacher Education Initiative is helping to prepare future educators with knowledge to use technology effectively. TEI: Providing technology preparedness ​Why TEI?

At the same time, the need to improve teacher knowledge about how to use technology in instructional practices with students has also become evident. The most common form of technology training for teachers is the delivery of technology workshops centered on how to use a tool.[i] This is an approach described as "technocentric." But research indicates that teacher proficiency with technology has not appeared to impact teacher use in daily instructional practices with their students.[ii]
