At the GPA I think its not done at all. Kids use the computer lab for an
hour a week and use a web site to play educational games.

At LGF, they have macs and they have a web based class management system
written by a programmer out in western MA.  More or less like Moodle.  I'm
not sure how many of these use cases it supports.

One high school I visited had a sign up in the computer lab reminding kids
to email their work to themselves on their gmail accounts.  My high schooler
tends to use this technique also.  Teachers sometimes have him email files
to turn in assignments.  I think in one class he used google docs.

So I think email and web sites are the current way these tasks are done, in
the rare instances they occur.

I am copying Server Devel as I suspect our vision if for the  XS will
support many of these use cases.
