We're doing something along these lines in the FLOSS Foundation here in 
Poland:
http://e-swoi.pl/

Apologies, we do not have an English version (yet).

The idea is to have software in the form of a bootable USB stick (and image, 
of course), that kids can take home and boot any computer with, saving their 
work to the USB stick itself. A "cloud in your pocket", if you will.

This is accompanied by teaching materials, lesson scenarios, implementation 
examples, etc. We're using Scratch, Lazarus and several other programming 
tools/environments that we found to be most conducive to sharing knowledge.

We should be able to release all this on libre licenses (GPL, CC-By-SA, 
mainly) during the next few months.
