Colleagues describe her as "Michelle Zimmerman is a force to be reckoned with in the education sector. I have worked with her in partnering her with internal and external Microsoft teams to assist in her advocating of technology partnered with education. She is challenging students to think outside of the box and to use new technologies to their benefit while also allowing them to create creative styles of their own. With her extensive background in Sway and OneNote, she has been able to present to Satya Nadella and the Microsoft executive team as well as show the importance of technology within education to improve student learning. The OneNote and Sway community see her as a key technical influencer in this space and is the reason she has been awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional award for these skills. I encourage other education professionals to see what she has done in her communities as an example for ways that they can better theirs. It is always a pleasure to talk to work with her." and "Michelle's insights into what education can and should be are refreshing and necessary for today's mobile-first generation. I anticipate that her research and insights will solidly impact the educational landscape of our country. While teaching is a strength for her, she should be consulted for anything to do with curriculum development and education. Just from our brief meeting, I learned greatly from her and am striving to implement her ideas in my work with youth. On top of all that, she is a joy to be around."
