Hi,
There's an international resource for linux in education called SEUL/edu
(SEUL == simple End User Linux, I think). This might be more the sort of
thing you're after. Its at
http://www.seul.org/edu/
There should be some docs there, but the last time I looked, they were a
bit thin on the ground (such is life :)
There's also a mailing list and a couple of freshmeat-hosted collections
of software to pick through.
Have fun,
Paul.
