Students and Teachers Gain Rich-client Web Design, and Dynamic Web

The innovative new K-12 Site License Solution gives schools access to teaching curriculum and teacher training with the freedom to use Macromedia Studio MX throughout the school for one set price based on the size of the school. For either $2,000 for K-12 schools with up to 500 students or $3,000 for schools with over 500 students, this new licensing solution allows schools to affordably provide Macromedia Studio MX to educators to help

students learn to use market-leading web development tools across the curriculum. For information on education pricing, go to www.macromedia.com/buy/volume_license/k12/.

The site license solution includes sample curriculum to help teachers start teaching web design courses or integrate web projects into academic courses right away. Teacher training comprises interactive content from the online courses at Macromedia University (www.macromedia.com/university/). “Educators are increasingly finding that integrating multimedia and Internet

development tools into the curriculum helps students improve communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills through project-based learning,” said Pat Brogan, vice president of education and learning, Macromedia. “The K-12 Site License Solution gives schools the opportunity to use Macromedia Studio MX products beyond classes primarily involved in Internet development and apply them to all classes in the school. And now they can easily and

economically obtain all they need to get started-no contracts to sign, no computers to count!”

The K-12 Site License Solution offers a new purchasing option for K-12 schools in addition to the current Macromedia Volume Licensing Programs for higher education and K-12 institutions, including the Premier Education

Program and the Transactional License Option. Visit www.macromedia.com/buy/volume_license/ for more information.
