Hi Sean,

This is a site to look at that you may suggest to both schools to use to work
with each other and other classrooms throughout the world:
TakingITGlobal-www.tigweb.org

When I attended Enhanced Learning Strategy-Literacy and Technology Showcase February 20th, 2009,
I saw a talk on the use of TakingITGlobal:The Canadian students were working with a class in Uganda
and the learning opportunity created was very powerful. Eastern Township School District Magog,Quebec Canada 
has been running a 1:1 with Apple MacBooks for the last 6 years.

Ron Canuel-Director General Eastern Township School District gave a presentation at XOCamp2 in January.
I have emailed Ron Canuel about the availability of Sugar through VirtualBox on Mac OS and he will be passing
information onto his Educational technology staff to pilot. We have call scheduled for later this week.
