Apple Offers Keynote and iLife for Teachers
MikeXpop writes "Apple announced that its two new apps, Keynote and iLife, will be available for teachers for only $15, saving educators $113 (compared to the regular education price). Also, Apple is extending the deadline for free Jaguar for teachers. Both offers end March 31st."
Not strange in the slightest. It's weaning them off MS, making them more inclined to use any other Office type tools Apple wheels out, or the next version of Keynote a bit further down the line. And if teachers start using it, they might start teaching it to students, so the scool might buy copies or the students will think "Gee, this is cool, I wonder what the rest of Apple's stuff is like."
Besides, they're not 'making' teachers pay. They're offering them a heavily discounted product. That's giving them options, not forcing something on them. If I could get Keynote that cheap I would.
