If you have the space, I would definitely include more than one
architecture plus the source not just the binaries, you never know

Edubuntu is a good idea too

Codecs ; I would add  the medibuntu repositories and a copy of the
mstcorefonts + flash plugins and all the restricted stuff

Is there "zero connectivity" or is it very unreliable ? I saw the case
where International connectivity was bad but local one was ok.

good luck
