To all,
Totally Hip Signs Licensing Deal For WebPainter with Washington State
Purchase seeds 600 Educators and 15,000 Students with WebPainter
VANCOUVER, Oct. 21 /CNW/ - Totally Hip Software Inc.
Trading Symbol: THW: ASE
Totally Hip Software Inc. (THW: ASE) today announced that it has licensed
an initial order of 1000 units of the Company's award-winning WebPainter Web
Graphics and Animation software to over 600 educators who participate in the
Washington State funded Share105 Project which is administered by 19 Central
Washington State public school districts.
Under the terms of this agreement the Company has licensed WebPainter to
teams of educators within each of these 19 public school districts. Those
educators are responsible for integrating WebPainter into the curriculum of
over 15,000 students in the state of Washington, which will lead to further
licensing opportunities for Totally Hip Software.
''In our work developing interactive multimedia for the Web we use the
latest in high powered tools,'' said Chuck Wahle, Share105 Project Team
Coordinator and Advisor. ''It is my goal to never have to say to a student,
'What a great idea, but we can't make that happen here.' WebPainter
consistently lets my students turn their dreams into ideas that they
communicate to the world.''
''We have worked closely with Learning Services, one of our new resellers
to complete this deal,'' said Ian Wenig, Leader, Educational Sales &
Marketing, Totally Hip Software Inc. ''Our direct sales efforts and training
programs have been focused on site-licensing WebPainter and beating the
traditional 18 month sales cycle in Education. This type of licensing
agreement creates a win-win opportunity for the students, the educators, and
the districts because WebPainter and the WebPainter Curriculum Workbook become
an integral part of the curriculum while motivating students to present their
assignments in creative and exciting ways. Teachers love WebPainter because of
its short learning curve, low cost and Macintosh and Windows availability.''
