Minnesota PLTW Software Costs for 2010
Software Choices/Costs - Several different packages and pricing options are available to districts for purchase or lease. Schools can either lease an annual site license for software or you can purchase perpetual software. In some cases, depending upon how many seats of software you need, it may be less expensive to purchase the software and pre-pay for annual updates on it than to lease it. The only way to determine the best option is to do cost comparison on an individual district/school. Contact me directly if you’d like me to list all options and compare the costs.
