RPG MAKER XP User's Group / Resources For Beginners

I am a middle school tech ed teacher that uses the program RPG Maker XP in my 7th and 8th grade computer classes. I should say, I attempt to use it. I have very little documentation on it, and the web is filled with sketchy tutorials and user groups. I've slogged through some user groups, but most seem to be inhabited by experts who speak in a language all their own. Most of the tutorials I've found are poorly done. Is there anyone out there who also uses this program and we can help each other out? My students love the program and it's a great way to incorporate storytelling, English basics, etc.

So, it's like our textbooks? :p

I haven't used the program myself unless it is the same RPG Maker that is on the Playstation. I'll look it up and see. Honestly though I'm guessing this is one of those things the kids will learn faster by just playing with it.
