Educational Software

If you're a parent or a teacher, chances are that the student(s) in your life will run an Adobe software program on their computers at least several times a week to complete reports; research online versions of otherwise hard-to-find primary sources; design dynamic presentations on paper and on the Web; and to complete art projects by digitally inking, coloring, and tweaking drawings and photographs.

Adobe likes to encourage students to excel in their education endeavors by offering special Adobe educational software versions of their many mainstream software programs at discounts sometimes hundreds of dollars cheaper than the commercial price. For example, a student or educator can pick up an Adobe educational software version of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for $599, while the rest of the world will have to pay $1799.

Adobe educational software is available at this special discount price to students, staff, and faculty of most K-12 schools; colleges and universities; boards of education; and approved home schools. Individual customers are only allowed to purchase one of each Adobe educational software program at the discounted price, although some Adobe educational software programs are meant for a school to run on its entire server.

Popular Adobe educational software programs include the Adobe Creative Suite programs, which help students to design presentations on paper, computers, mobile devices, and the Internet. This Adobe educational software series offers students design tools for image editing, layout, and illustration on whatever medium they chose, giving great experience to future Web designers, advertisers, and businesspeople.

If your students are enrolled exclusively in a Web design class, you may think of purchasing the Adobe educational software program Dreamweaver CS3 instead of the full Creative Suite program. Dreamweaver is an Adobe educational software program with toolkits designed entirely for Web sites, without the paper, offline computer, or mobile device option of Creative Suite. The Adobe educational software version of Dreamweaver costs $199, while it is available commercially for $399.

Another frequently used Adobe educational software program is Adobe Photoshop, which is especially ideal for art and design students. Photoshop is one of the most frequently used Adobe educational software programs in art schools as it allows students to digitally draw, ink, color, and/or edit sketches and photographs. Photoshop CS3 Extended-which includes film and video editing as well as art editing-in the Adobe educational software version costs $299, seven hundred dollars less than the commercial price tag of $999!

If you're a teacher or a parent of creative, design-oriented students, be sure to check out the special Adobe educational software pricing before you spend more than twice as much on the commercial versions. With the tools of Adobe educational software, your students' creativity will know no bounds!
