Some of you may not know about that we provide free software to schools. We're interested in your feedback about how this program could be most effective for you as educators.

Please discuss below.

Note: Please don't apply if you are not a representative of a bona-fide educational institution.

I was wondering if you have plans to, or have ever considered, including ISP teachers in your program? Lots of homeschooling parents form large co-ops and teach their students in a classroom setting.

Also, I used to run a literacy organization that focused on technology literacy among urban areas. I do not do this anymore, however, I did always wonder if your program is applicable to nonprofit organizations who work within education systems?

My thoughts:

I love the package, but would like to have an option to choose CCHTML instead of VSD. For most teachers, VSD is great, but not for someone who prefers HTML. The package includes most of the tools a school webmaster would need.

That being said, I wish I could convince my school system to take advantage of it. The school system will not allow ANY school site to be created with any thing other than Dreamweaver. I had to get special permission to use CCHTML as a teaching tool in my classroom, and was forced to promise that we would not use it to edit/create any official school pages. If I do, they will block it's usage on school networked computers.

Wow! Any idea why they are so adamant about this Dreamweaver only policy?

Any chance you would consider extending this offer to small museums? We are a 501 C 3 with a very limited budget and our web sites show that (unfortunately!!) We are a non-profit, educational facility.

Go ahead and fill out the form and send it in. We'll need more info to make that decision.

Most likely because they didn't get it free *can't imagine DW being offered like CC software does, they are just too high priced I think to consider it, but I could be wrong on that* and so they can't afford to try other things and lose what they already invested in? Similar to a company that has spent 100's of 1000's of dollars on software and finds something better, but has too much invested in the other stuff? Just a guess.

For the most part yes, but this is handled on a case by case basis. In the past we have had a lot of people apply saying they home schooled their kids, but were just trying to get free software.

I would have to agree here, most people teaching web design aren't usually teaching a visual side of it and the HTML Editor would most likely be what they'd want or need.

I also help with building the website for a Literacy Council here in my small hometown of a whopping 8k people. I know at one time they were considering teaching computer things such as basic computers all the way up to basic web design, but 2 things hold them back. Lack of enough computers and lack of software. Not sure if they are still thinking to do this as I haven't talked to her in a while (you know, website's done, hear from them once every few months to add a new event to the site lol), but would be interested in knowing if this is something considered for your school package also. They also are a non-profit 501c program.
