Why not free?

I think they would get a lot more out of these if they were free. My wife is a teacher and I know her school would never pay for it. And we spend enough of our own money on supplies. Palm should see this as a promotional tool and "donate" the courses.

I must say, when I got her grade book on the palm using documents to go, she and her fellow teachers were rather impressed.

I agree as a former teacher, I spent hundreds of my own money on classroom aids and teaching tools to benefit my skills and for the benefit of my students. It would be a goodweill gesture and investment for palm to conduct these seminars free. Teachers could then share their knowledge with their peers. In turn other teachers will purchase handhelds out of their own pocket if they have to. I know they can't do this for every teacher but if teachers were nominated by their administrators and peers to attend these workshops that would be a way to start.
