Have you tried contacting a publisher / distributor? Maybe there's specialized ones for educational markets but in general, they can take that load off your back eventually.
Marketing software is a wonderful topic. Something I would imagine just about everyone on this list might be interested in. I have been marketing my software for about 8 years now and am not afraid to offer some of my experiences.
There are a handful of education distributors left in the U.S. Most are slipping and have gone out of business do to this market going soft over the past 3 years. I do work with distributors and have found them to be very effective. When it comes to distributors that work with retail in stores, that is a different beast altogether. Most will offer you 10-15% of their net. Once you tie up with a distributor, you can get locked into long contracts where you may lose control over certain aspects of your product.
I'll get off my soap box for now unless others are interested in opening this up.
