Free Software For Schools

We are constantly receiving requests from Teachers to compile a list of software that is available for free for schools.

We would encourage anyone who can suggest a free software product to post it here with a short discription and suggested use if possible.

Let's hope we can have the ultimate list here for schools within a few months!

Thanks!
