Free Applications for Education

From the blog  - AcademHack - http://academhack.outsidethetext.com/home/?p=51 - a list of tech tools for academics. The two I liked the looks of best are NeoOffice Aqua  - a free suite of office tools for Macs (For Windows, there's OpenOffice, also free) and Google Apps for Education which is downloadable for free.

With Google Apps for Education, you can offer all of your students innovative email, instant messaging, and calendaring, all for free.* You can select any combination of our available services (see below), and customize them with your school's logo, color scheme and content. You can manage your users through an easy web-based console or use our available APIs to integrate the services into your existing systems — and it's all hosted by Google, so there's no hardware or software for you to install or maintain. Find out more by reviewing detailed product information or attending an online seminar.

Google Apps for Education

I hope some educational administrators take advantage of this time-limited offer.
