We are working with a 1:1 school - Help!!

Our consortium (we are a tech and learning center for educators) has just started working with a local/rural middle school - they recently were got a 1:1 grant.  Grades 7 & 8.  This is our first opportunity to do this.  We will be providing tech integration training for the teachers. 

I would be grateful for any words of wisdom or awesome resources you might be willing to share.

Also, looking for a replacement for Ning!

Thanks!
