Liberty Basic is a popular choice in schools, and getting more popular all the time!  Two higher profile examples include NRI Schools (a McGraw Hill company), and Ziff-Davis University (now SmartPlanet).

Liberty BASIC is a solid language for the educational sector.  It includes support for structured programming techniques, and the language is close enough to traditional BASIC languages so that adapting your favorite programming course will be a simple matter!

School licensing - Liberty BASIC has special educational pricing!  Only one license per class group is needed.  This means for example that if you teach three groups of 30 students, you need only 3 licenses.  Even if your computer lab has dozens of computers you can install Liberty BASIC on every single one!

Teachers have several good choices for instructional materials:

• The Official Liberty BASIC Tutorial - of course!  ;-)
• The book Beginning Programming for Dummies
• The book Sams Teach Yourself Beginning Programming
• Mastering Liberty BASIC 3 - heralded shareware download
• Liberty BASIC Newsletter - more great stuff than you can imagine!
