I know this is a commercial message, but it relates to education, and the
offer of free downloads of pretty major software may interest some. If
you're into the web and technology, this is a great offer.

(2) Announcing: Adobe Photoshop Elements
Developed to meet the needs of nonprofessional photographers and
image editors, Photoshop Elements is an ideal suite of tools when you
want an easy-to-use yet powerful digital imaging solution. Using
Photoshop Elements, your students can explore their creativity while
mastering the elements of digital imaging.
"Digital cameras are all the rage, but a digital camera alone can
only get you so far. The next step is optimizing or adding effects to
images, and for that purpose, Photoshop Elements is the ideal
software program." Mikkel Aaland, professional photographer/author
Photoshop Elements will be available for preordering in early March.
