Textease for use at home

TEXTEASE FOR USE AT HOME

Probably the most important and useful piece of computer software your child will use at school is called Textease, a suite of programs based around a very sophisticated and clever full multi-media authoring package. The normal price of this package for home use is £89.99.

We can now provide Textease for use at home for only £5.00.

This is a full product on a CDROM copied by us from our master copy but with no printed manual (but it has a very useable 'help' feature and your child should be used to using it too!). It will be valid for the whole time you have a child at BHMS. Each year we will be given an access code which we will then pass on to pupils. I understand that permanent access codes may be available for purchase at preferential rates after that.

If you would like to take advantage of this offer, please fill in the form below and return that part to the school office together with your remittance of £5 in an envelope clearly marked 'Textease' and with your child's name and class. There is no time limit to this offer. We will do our best to fulfil orders quickly but please excuse us if ther is a slight delay as it takes time to produce them.

We have recently subscribed to 2 excellent and safe websites. In each case, our subscription allows you to use them freely at home. To access them you will need to go to the site then enter the usernames and passwords exactly as below.
