Yes, POW-PAK is free.

It is not open-source, and I do retain copyright of the program, but it is free for anyone to use.

Optional training, tech support, and consulting are not free. Please see the tech support and training sections below for more details if you need or want these optional services.

POW-PAK is free for several reasons:

• As an educator in a public school district, I know how tight budgets are. Schools often cannot afford high priced software or ongoing subscription services. POW-PAK is free like many other exceptional programs such as OpenOffice, Firefox, and Skype.
• I truly believe that POW-PAK is a valuable program for schools, and I would love to see as many people benefit from it as possible.
• I do not have the time, resources, or mindset to market the program. I have a full-time job and a family life. When I do have some rare free time, I would rather spend it developing POW-PAK than trying to sell it.
• I'm a nice guy.

If you want or need training, professional development, or any type of speaking services, I can be hired for that. Examples could include:

• Professional development for your staff (teachers, secretaries, administrators, etc.) on POW-PAK or any other technology need.
• Training for your tech support team on POW-PAK.
• Consulting on the implementation and use of POW-PAK.
• General technology assistance

Training services typically cost $100 per hour plus expenses. For full details, visit my speaking services web page.

NOTE: Training services are not required for you to acquire POW-PAK. Such services are completely optional and based upon your needs or wants.
