Teachers, would you like to help Microsoft pilot a new XNA Game Development course (and get free stuff in the process)?

Computer Science Teacher - Thoughts and Information from Alfred Thompson - Would You Like to Pilot a New Game Development Course?

"Would you like to pilot a new game development course (or two) in your school? With free curriculum and software? Microsoft is starting a new XNA online community group and curriculum pilot program that features:

  • Free software
  • Free teacher-created curriculum
  • Two one semester courses

Here are the descriptions of the two courses.

Programming with C# and XNA 1: Advanced Applications in Game Development (1 semester)

...

Programming with C# and XNA 2: Windows Phone 7 and the Imagine Cup (1 semester)

..."

Free is always attractive and given many education budgets, even more so now...

    Thanks for the link. These should be good courses and attract a lot of students. Of course the students will have to work a bit but they'll learn alot.
