Here are some links i found on Google... good luck and have fun...
Elements User: Photoshop Elements Techniques, Tutorials, Downloads, Videotips, Newsletter and more
Photoshop tutorials: Photoshop Elements tutorials

You can also try these free programs
Inkscape. Draw Freely. for vector art
GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program similar to photoshop

and like helix said above... CorelX4 is cheaper than photoshop and great for tshirts...
They have a student version which is really inexpensive if you qualify...

I don't know the differences between Photoshop Extended and Photoshop Elements. I use Photoshop Extended, the top version that comes in the Adobe suites. Photoshop is the most powerful graphics software in existence today in my opinion. The picture below was done 100% in Photoshop CS2 by my friend John. Man I wish I could paint as good as he can.

Adobe.com has some great tutorials and videos. They are very helpful. The best advise I can give you is USE USE USE it and play with all the buttons till you get the hang of things. Good luck.
