As a member of the Faculty Advisory Board for Microsoft Corporation, my first thought was to send the group ......

I am always up for doing things for the first time. Yesterday was the first time that I have ever instructed on a webcast. I am doing a series of six that I've blogged about before and it was an interesting experience for me. First off, I had no clue who was going to register for the webcast. Originally it was scheduled for high school computer science teachers and then Microsoft put it on their MSDN site. There were 125 who participated and stayed for the hour I was with them. I only wish I could ......
