CAVEAT: I'm not a teacher, I don't frequent the lists given below to
know about them, and they are opensource-specific rather than
LTSP-specific, however [...]

You might take a look at a few sites that spring to mind having mailing
lists that may serve your purpose.  There are list archives to check out
at   http://archives.seul.org/   - the parent site can be deduced from
that URL (oh hell, I'll give it anyway, it's  www.seul.org).

Another relevant site could be either/both 
http://opensourceschools.org/   and/or   http://www.schoolforge.net/ 
The former leads you to the latter, but both appear to have something
different to offer.  The Schoolforge archives are at
http://archives.seul.org/schoolforge/discuss/ 

Ooops! there we are back at seul.org again?!  I don't know if they are
just hosting schoolforge or if it's a fork of the original site. 
Anyway, worth a look at those few.  Report back to this group if you
find them useful or otherwise, please.
