Managing computer content in a schoolroom

There are at least two ways to manage the content of the laptops in 
a classroom -- "bottom-up" (let the kids choose) or "top-down" (let 
an administrator choose).  Was reading a two-weeks-old Linux Weekly 
News, which described Func (Fedora Unified Network Controller - see 
https://fedorahosted.org/func).  For top-down management, seems to 
me Func would be something worthwhile having an intern look into -- 
can it be applied to a schoolroom with OLPCs?  [Without looking into 
it myself, I would venture 'yes'.  ('yum install func' takes 1.8 M)]
