Think Brazil is also in this area... I think this is a very good point when we think about the planning of the shared activities desktop and development of new plasmoids/edu apps. I already asked around to see how/if/when we can get access to a group of teachers down here in Brazil that are already using Linux and the existing KDE Edu apps. They will be certainly able to provide us with good feedback and real-world scenarios. But notice that nowadays most deployments are still in the "replace proprietary OS with minimal disruption" stage. Our plan is good because it takes care of these needs first, establishes a foothold into the community and can give us leverage to implement more ambitious goals in the near future.
