I use Camstudio to produce screencast for teachers and students. How great would it be for you students to create tutorials for your teachers. its a very powerful program and its free. You can even do PIP with a webcam.<br />

The internet would be my route too. Free apps include Google Docs, Zoho, <a href="http://www.brighthub.com/education/k-12/reviews/57062.aspx" target="_blank">Animoto</a>, <a href="http://www.brighthub.com/education/k-12/articles/57951.aspx" target="_blank">Glogster</a>, Student blogs/websites (from <a href="http://education.weebly.com/" target="_blank">Weebly</a> or similar), etc. There are plenty of free things to source out online.

I like the idea of having students taking pictures with their cell phones, uploading them, and then using SqirlzMorph to modify them... Unfortunately, as this requires downloading software there will be some logistical problems. Might be a great "winter break" assignment...

Jeff,<br />
Online and/or open source is the way to go!! I teach a class called Computer Presentations. The goal is to teach students a variety of applications that can present information to an audience. We use the following:<br />
<br />
<b>SqirlzMorph</b> - will allow students to morph 2 or more pictures and/or images together. My kids (10th graders) had a ball with this application. Final morph can be saved as an .avi or flash file. (open source)<br />

<br />
<b>camstudio20</b> - will do video screen capture with sound. (open source)<br />
<br />
<b>gimp 2.6.7</b> - a "first cousin" to Photo Shop!! This program does just about anything that Photo Shop can do and more! There are lots of websites with tutorials and projects. (open source)<br />
<br />
<b>gimp-gap</b> - suggested add-on for Gimp (open source)<br />
<br />
<b>gmaker</b> - Really cool application! Students learn how to create their own video games. Very easy to learn!! There are many websites that offer tutorials and project ideas. (open source)<br />
<br />
<b>scribus</b> - desktop publishing software. Very easy to use. (open source)<br />
<br />
Hope this list helps!!<br />

Do you have internet access for all the computers? If so, go online.<br />
<br />
We use gaggle.com for email and chat. In my language arts class, I teach netiquette for e-mail, chat, discussion boards, etc.<br />
<br />
We use edu.glogster.com for creating interactive media "posters."<br />
<br />
We haven't any typing programs so I use a site from the bbc to teach keyboarding skills and online games to improve typing speed.

i think having zero budget might actually be a great position because it will get your kids off their local machines and into the cloud where so many programs are free (and far more interesting)... there are many great online typing programs, google docs for online MS Office, Edublogs for personal web sites/HTML, on and on and on...
