All my experience in this area was in the first to fourth grade students, 
Portugal deployment is in this area. Think Brazil is also in this area...

I have conducted informal interviews with students and teachers that use the 
current desktops, and I have a good idea of what we can do far better 
specially if the computers are supposed to fulfil their propose that is AFIK 
to be used in the classroom to help in the teaching process, (this was the 
biggest fail of the project so far here in Portugal) 

There are programs here in Portugal for other groups but, they require no 
specific deployment so far (not saying its not an interesting market were we 
can't do it better)
