Celebrate your favorite teachers! Starting today, you can join Bing in showing appreciation for the heroes of education. Great teachers inspire, excite, and have a positive impact on countless young lives. Yet they are often under-paid, under-supported, and under-appreciated. Bing and DonorsChoose.org are partnering to give teachers the materials and support they need.
This partnership encourages folks to share stories about great teachers, and will help reward teachers in the process. Choose up to five of your favorite teachers and post a comment about why you’ll never forget them. Bing will then give you a $5 gift card to help fund a DonorsChoose.org classroom of your choice.
Here’s how it works:
- Post a comment here about a teacher who had a profound effect on your life or the life of a child you know.
- Bing will email you a $5 gift code for your qualifying comment. Use this code to support a classroom project on DonorsChoose.org. You may post comments about five inspiring teachers.
- Search for your comment on the Bing map. In June, Bing will send each teacher the comments they’ve received, congratulating them.
Who can comment?
- Anyone who has been inspired by a K-12 teacher.
- You may comment on a teacher of your own, or work with a child to comment about their teacher.
Have fun! Hug a teacher!
I was inspired greatly by my 3rd grade teacher. She was an amazing artist and helped me grow more artistic talent. She also taught me yoga wich was interesting
Comment by It — May 20, 2010 at 5:49am
Howdy – Just want to make sure it’s clear that to qualify for the $5 code from Bing you’ll need to post this comment (or one like it) on their site, which you can access right here. Sorry for any confusion, and thanks for participating!
Comment by Zach — May 20, 2010 at 9:48am
I’m not quite sure how this all works. I posted a comment about my teacher and I see it posted on the website map, but I never recieved a $5.00 coupon. Is there something else that I needed to do to receive the coupon?
Comment by Mary — May 20, 2010 at 8:24pm
I never received a giftcard either. I’m still waiting to see if I receive atleast a confirmation that BING received and posted my comment. (I did find the comment posted) So the question is, how does this whole thing work?
Comment by Wendy — May 21, 2010 at 6:33am
I don’t understand why some of my students received the $5 code and some did not??????
Comment by becky — May 21, 2010 at 9:35am
Well, none of my students recieved any and they started to post only a couple hours after BING announced their promotion. Though I believe this to be a wonderful idea and inspiring to many teachers, I am very disappointed in how this promotion was run. I hope that someone responds to these inquiries.
Comment by Ruth — May 21, 2010 at 9:52am
Shame on Bing for misleading us on this. I never received anything either and I received an email from donorschoose yesterday promoting the event….so what happened?
Comment by Nona — May 21, 2010 at 10:04am
Hi everyone – Thanks for your enthusiasm about this deal, and sorry for any confusion. The codes are not emailed out immediately, so be patient. It may take up to 24 hours to receive yours. They also occasionally end up in SPAM folders so be sure to check there. Thanks again!
Comment by Zach — May 21, 2010 at 11:44am
Does anyone know when is the last day for the giving away of the $5. gift card? I know the gift card codes are good until July 10, 2010. It’s been 24 hours since I thank my teachers for their kindness, and dedication and I stil did not get any codes.
Comment by Nadia — May 21, 2010 at 5:33pm
I thanked my teachers for their kindness well over 24 hours ago as well, and I see that other people have already recieved their codes and applied them to projects. Wondering as well when the appreciation ecent ends.
Comment by Zack — May 21, 2010 at 7:25pm
It has almost been 36 hours for most of my students!
Comment by becky — May 21, 2010 at 7:27pm
Same thing for me. I have been encouraging people to do this and they arent getting anything so they arent asking anyone else to do it for me. That is kinda discouraging :(
Comment by jo — May 22, 2010 at 11:54am
So I have 26 students who all commented on the first day of the event, and not one of them have heard anything as of yet….
Comment by Pam — May 22, 2010 at 12:01pm
It seems to me that I am not the only one who is not happy with this. If they are not giving out anymore coupons, then they need to STOP promoting it that way. Just ask for comments, many people would still do it even if there wasnt an incentive. P.S. I haven’t recieved anything yet eaither and it has been over 36 hours.
Comment by Gwen — May 22, 2010 at 12:35pm
It sure is frustrating. It won’t be easy to ask people to do something like this again if codes don’t start showing up soon. It’s been over 3 days—I think it is broken.
Comment by Betzi — May 23, 2010 at 11:15am
I have several friends who tried it, and never recieved anything either, what a disappointment.
Comment by Sue — May 23, 2010 at 1:30pm
It didn’t work for me, and I talked both of my parents into doing it as well and none of us have received our codes. I’m wondering if it was because we all used a mac? Or because the 3 of us used the same computer, although we have our own email addresses?
Comment by STACY — May 23, 2010 at 6:50pm
I don’t think it is a mac issue. i also use a mac at home, but most of my family and the school is not using macs. there have been missing codes from both. And my brother entered on my mac with his email address and received some of the codes.
Comment by Chris — May 23, 2010 at 7:37pm
I have gotten some codes and I haven’t received some codes. I can see why some people find this discouraging, but remember the reason for doing this, to thank a teacher. I am one and I am enjoying the comments students make even if the codes inconsistely come through. I think Bing has wonderful intentions. Thank you Bing!
Comment by Holly — May 23, 2010 at 9:24pm
I also appreciate the thankyous..but my question is this…do we keep encouraging people to go and tell them to look for the codes in their inboxes…or do we just not worry about it since its not working?
Comment by Jo — May 23, 2010 at 11:43pm
How long will this promotion be available?
I have submitted my 5 comments and all were posted. I also received my 5 codes and donated those to a teacher’s project in my home state! Thanks to DonorsChoose and Bing for working together to support education.
Comment by Colette — May 24, 2010 at 7:26am
It seems to me it is just those comments entered Th and F last week which did not generate codes. My family members who commented this weekend got at least some codes. My students are so disappointed, though, to have no codes for all that typing last week—difficult task for English Language Learners without a lot of technology experience. I’m hoping Bing will fix this somehow…
Comment by Chris — May 24, 2010 at 10:26am
So if we did not get codes for Thursday and Friday and we resubmit for codes today….will we get them or will it say we have already done them the five times?
Comment by Joyce — May 24, 2010 at 11:43am
I tried resubmitting them again and still nothing, wish someone would respond to these notes so that we know what is going on.
Comment by wendy — May 24, 2010 at 11:59am
Hi guys – I’m so sorry for the trouble you’ve all encountered regarding this promotion. We spoke with Bing and they’ve asked that everyone who commented but did not receive a $5 code email teachapp[at]waggeneredstrom[dot]com with the day you voted and the email address used. They also asked that we assure you that they are committed to getting a $5 donation code to everyone who submits a qualifying comment. Hope this helps. Thanks again for participating and sorry again for the trouble!
Comment by Zach — May 24, 2010 at 3:06pm
teachapp@waggeneredstrom.com???
My email gets kicked back. Is there something a little off?
Comment by Chris — May 24, 2010 at 4:13pm
Email did work second time—at least, it went somewhere. Waiting on those codes!
Comment by chris — May 24, 2010 at 4:33pm
I sent an email to …waggeneredstrom.com and it kicked back.
Comment by Ashly — May 24, 2010 at 4:33pm
For teachers who are having their students enter from school I am sure you will not receive those codes. School systems block contests and have so many filters. On Bing’s Earth Day Contest I tried from school and never recieved any codes. When I checked with our IT guy he said they would be filtered and never reach the our accounts. If you try from school on your own account (msn, yahoo – whatever)it should work. My family and friends all got codes from home – so I think it is working and my kids all have Mac so it’s not that.Hope this helps.
Comment by Debby — May 24, 2010 at 9:04pm
I did get codes from school. Some came through and some didn’t. That isn’t the problem. I even did mine from home and some did not come through.
Comment by becky — May 25, 2010 at 6:41am
Has anyone who emailed received a reply?
Comment by MJ — May 25, 2010 at 10:21am
nope, no replies yet…..sent an email yesterday afternoon
Comment by Gwen — May 25, 2010 at 10:34am
No one replied to the email I sent to: teachapp@waggeneredstrom.com as of yet. I sent it on May 24, 2010 around 4:33 PM.
Comment by Ashly — May 25, 2010 at 12:29pm
Emailed yesterday. No reply. I also don’t think the issue was submitting comments from school. So far, no one got codes if they submitted comments Th 5/20 or F 5/21 either at school or at home. Submissions from school W 5/19 and M 5/24 received codes. Did anyone submit Th or F and get a code?
Comment by chris — May 25, 2010 at 1:13pm
I haven’t had a reply yet either. We also redid some of the comments yesterday morning and haven’t received codes for them either.
Comment by becky — May 25, 2010 at 1:16pm
I tried to send the email to the address given teacherapp@(etc. It was kicked back as undeliverable. What is the problem? My students redid some letters yesterday also, but they have not received any codes.
Comment by Janet — May 25, 2010 at 1:25pm
Yay!! I just got an email with codes that my family members were missing. Thanks so much for following through this this! Bing and DonorsChoose rock!!!
Thank you so much!!
Comment by MJ — May 25, 2010 at 4:26pm

Comment by Tatia Williams — May 25, 2010 at 7:58pm
We can’t even find where to submit our comments1 My daughter’s teacher gave us instructions but they weren’t very clear…Where do we post it? When we click on the things that say “here” it takes us to Bing Education but there is nowhere to post comments!
Comment by Carol — May 25, 2010 at 8:06pm
I want to say thank you actually to donorschoose.. and their creators for the website that helps me get the materials I need into the hands of hundreds of deserving kids!!!
Comment by Tina — May 27, 2010 at 11:54pm
I can still remember poetry my fifth grade teacher had us memorize. She had me tutor people who struggled with math. Perhaps that’s why I ended up majoring in math and becoming a teacher!
Comment by Sarah — May 28, 2010 at 5:53am
Is anyone sure how much longer this will run? I am trying to decide if I want to post it on my facebook again. Thanks!
Comment by Joyce — May 29, 2010 at 5:39pm
After leaving a comment about my favorite teacher, and giving my email address, I now receive LOTS of junk mail. Was this really worth the $5?
Comment by theresa — May 30, 2010 at 12:09pm
Sorry to hear that you’ve received lots of junk mail. I did NOT receive any junk mail what so ever. Neither did my students or any of my family members.
Comment by Ashley — May 30, 2010 at 3:15pm
I didn’t receive any junk mail either!
Comment by becky — May 30, 2010 at 5:40pm
My high school English teacher saw through my rough edges and goofy facade to the true potential that I had. He always had faith that I would land on my feet and accomplish much in life. He wrote recommendations that gained me acceptance to my desired university and showered me with unwavering encouragement. I am now a second year medical student and can not begin to thank him enough!
Comment by Greg — May 31, 2010 at 12:32pm
It’s a hit and miss situation. Received some codes. Many family and friends did not receive codes. Bing suggested they let them know through teachapp@waggeneredstrom.com, which they did, and still no codes. I can’t ask them to tell Bing again. Asked Bing if I could give them a list of family and friends that submitted. NO! Each person must contact Bing individually. Too much work to ask of friends and family. Great idea but I think Bing was inundated!
Comment by Debbie — June 5, 2010 at 8:07pm
My daughter did not get her codes and left an email at teachapp@waggeneredstrom.com and the codes were emailed the next day!

My sixth grade teacher inspired me in every aspect of my life. But, the biggest impact that she made on me was in my choice to be a teacher. She treated us with respect and I use many of her beliefs in my classroom today.
Comment by Tiffany — September 27, 2010 at 12:27am
My 4th grade teacher inspired me through song. I remember my favorite part of the day was when she would take out her guitar and sing with us. I felt like I belonged in that classroom. It was safe.

Comment by Sarina — October 1, 2010 at 2:05pm
I was inspired by my high school environmental science teacher. He had a way to connect with each of us, his office was always filled with students just wanting to learn more from him because we knew he really cared about us.

Mrs. Masson inspired me to become a teacher, already in 4th grade. We sang to the strum of her guitar, wrote poetry with our backs against the trees and made slideshows of our work. She read aloud to us after lunch and made the stories come alive. And so much more…
Comment by Rebecca — December 8, 2010 at 1:19am
Mr. Lacey was the best science teacher ever, with the mad scientist lab coat and all. We made things bubble and change color, and got to use a crazy laugh when our experiments were at their peak.

Ms. Anderson inspired both of my children to read, dream and try. Through her class they were encouraged to be creative and try new things, failure was met with a smile and what can we do next time or what did we learn from this. She is a wonderful teacher that has not lost the desire or edge after several years of teaching.

THANK YOU BING for stepping up and realizing, schools need help. In a time of budget cuts and reductions,, we still have needs that were never filled when funds were available. It’s generous donors here and companies like Bing, that realize we need to support teachers directly. So again, thank you Bing for teaming up with Donors Choose.

Ms. Bragdon, my 7th grade Language Arts teacher, was awesome! The rumor was that she was really strict, so no one wanted to get her. The truth was that she was strict, but made learning fun. I can still name all the parts of speech because she taught us a song to help memorize them.
Comment by Mary Helen — January 7, 2011 at 11:36pm
Mrs Huffman (Mrs.Carpenter) is an amazing teacher. She inspired me so much. She was the kind of teacher that when she said she was going to do something she did it. Like in 4th grade she had us all write letters to ourselves for our senior year and she had us address them to our address. She then had us give them to her and she said that she would mail them to us our senior year. I, like many of the other fourth graders forgot about them. However, one day I received a letter from myself and it meant so much to me that she kept them and actually sent them. She really is an amazing teacher.

Along with fifty nifty United States(a song about the sates in alphebetical order might I add)! Ms. Wendy Huffman, now Mrs.Carpenter, taught me perseverence, the true value of an education, and enjoy life. In a community with little to no family support, this woman is trying to and will make a difference in childrens lives no matter the deversity.

Thank you to Mrs. Brand, my kinder teacher, I couldn’t wait to enter her room and see what was planned for the day.

Wendy Eckstein is an amazing teacher. She inspires students to push themselves and learn as much as possible each day.

Mr. Ritchie was my highschool teacher. I did not know it at the time, but he was an inspiration to me in so many ways. He modeled to me love of a job, true fulfillment, and the rewards of teaching were always seen on his face. I didn’t know then, how important that was in a career. When I became an adult and was searching for a career I chose teaching because of him.

When I was in high school, I had a teacher named Mr. Smith who got me not only interested in reading again, but in history, politics, writing, and government. I’ve been a teacher for three years now, and it is because of him.

My biggest inspiration in school comes from Ms. Hughey, my high school english teacher. She inspired me to not only enjoy school, but to also become a teacher myself.

Being a teacher myself, the biggest inspiration to my life was my intern teacher, Ms. DeVol. She changed the way I look at education.

I was honored to have her as my mentor.

I utterly liked reading about Installing BlogEngine.NET on GoDaddy and thought it was well worth the read. The only other site I found on Google wasnt as good as this one, thanks.

My third and fourth grade teachers were twins. I was lucky enough to have them both while I was in elementary school. While I was in their classes, I remember learning more about how to be a student than I can specifically remember learning math facts or sight words. They were incredible examples of the importance of teaching to the whole child. Both inspired me to become a second grade teacher myself! :)

I never liked history until high school. Because of my 11th grade US History teacher, I became fascinated with it. Years later, it’s the subject I’m most excited to teach to my own students.

My AP US History helped bring out my love for History. I remember her class was so difficult and rigorous, but if it were not for her I would have never majored in Political Science/History and became as interested in current events.

My 4th grade teacher was so thoughtful. She gave me a beautiful card on the day my stepdad adopted me.

Thank you to my second grade teacher who made me realize I want to be a teacher too!

Miss Clemens truly cared about every student. She is one of the reasons I am now a teacher.

I was inspired by my college professors who made my learning experiences meaningful and inspired me to continue on my career path to become a teacher!

I was inspired by my third grade teacher who taught me meaningful lessons throughout the year!

My 4th grade teacher was such a great inspiration that I wanted to become a teacher and do the same for other children.
