I really, really like Freepath. I can see immediately going to my music teacher and principal and getting all of their stuff on Freepath. It would make life so much easier. Of course my music teacher is going to have to wait for the mac version.
I appreciate the emphasis on the free software. Sometimes all you know is the expensive software, but you neglect to look for the open source software. It's probably because it takes so much time to sort through it all.
One of the more expensive software items I am looking at is MathWhiz, which is an adaptive math tutor with fun social implications but no e-mail or messaging. It is awesome, but for a school of 400 it would be around $16000. That's what I am looking for right now, a math test kids can take before OAKS so that we can see strand data at the beginning of the school year, and kids can do activities based on the strand data.
I need to do more research.

Hey Kaycie,
That was a fun session last night, I ran out of time, it flew by! I'll send the pile of free tools that work well with Freepath to Todd to distribute out to you all. I'll try to assemble some more, as well. Seems like there's fifteen new solutions for ever one that fades into history.
Also contact me directly if you're interested in buying up some Freepath licenses. As soon as we come out of Beta, we'll be charging an introductory price, but if you were in the class, (or, heck why not, a reader on this blog...) I can, for a short time, get you a dirt cheap price on the download.
I was glad to see your post here this morning, thanks for the kind words!
All the best.
Lou
