Bing Education: Teacher Appreciation
By Lisa Love • May 23rd, 2010 • Category: articles, educational, self esteem
No…not Bing Note Education. Bing Education. As in the search engine, Bing. The other day, Mommy Perks told me the search engine, Bing, has a whole new campaign with education. I of course had to check it out, and I’m SO excited!
Bing has a sincere interest in seeing children succeed, so by teaming with DonorsChoose.org, they are committed to giving up to $500,000 to provide both kids and adults with a way to express their thanks to a teacher and help another teacher or school in the process.
At the end of June, Bing will award the teachers with a congratulatory note (hmmm…perhaps you can even say a bing note…get it?). So, make sure to share your story on the Bing Education site. I did, because with everything teachers do for our kids, wouldn’t it be nice for a teacher to receive your kind note (or bing note…kinda catchy)? Such a great surprise!
Bing also encourages parents to get involved, so they have lots of ideas on how parents can do this.
They say (which is so true!):
Improving education doesn’t have to involve spending money; it can start right at home. And whether you have five minutes a day or five hours a month, there are lots of ways to get involved.
So needless to say, Bing Note is thrilled with Bing’s efforts in helping to build a brighter future for kids. And because of this, we are offering a special discount on our self-esteem building picture book and CD for kids. That’s Bingzy! Busy Building Self-Esteem is now just $10.00 (regular price is $19.95). Enter coupon code: BINGEDUCATION, at checkout.
Way to go Bing! Keep up the great work.
Sincerely,
The Bing Note Team!

My favorite teacher was in high school. Her name was Ms. Gaskin and she taught algebra. I had a hard time in school, especially in any subject in Math. Anytime someone did not make a passing grade on a test, she allowed a person to retake the test as many times as they could, as long as they would made tutorial after school. There were weeks where I would stay after school every day just to help myself know the material better. I am now a 2nd grade teacher and I try to teach my kids that very same concept that it was okay to make mistakes, just learn from them. She meant business but had a kind heart.
That’s wonderful! It’s amazing how those types of situations have so much influence on our decisions in the future.
