For a local perspective, Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary
Learning - contact Rita Gibson <rgibson57 at earthlink.net>.

There are many dozens of Linux educational offerings worldwide, just Google.

Rita can also put you in touch with Elizabeth Spruill who presented
information at CLUE on a South African school Linux project.

Also John Hamilton (don't have an email address) who die the Linux
setup for Lois Lenski Elementary School. He also did a CLUE
presentation.
