Default Photoshop elements
So I get Photoshop Elements 2.0 (don't ask me why) for free from my school.

I know nothing. Like really nothing. Where should I start?

Did you get a manual or built in tutorial with it? If it comes free from your school, I imagine your school probably has some suitable material as well.

There are so many tutorials available. Do you have something in particular that you are looking to do? Select some pictures and have fun with it. Add borders, make some look vintage, black&white etc.

When I started with PSE, I looked through online tutorials (just do a google) and chose the ones that seemed to help with what I wanted to know.

But my favorite learning source for PSE was The Photoshop Elements 6 Book for Digital Photographers (Paperback) by Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski. I didn't see it for PSE2 but I am sure there are some things that are similar in all versions. I looooved the book. Super simple to follow.
