I am focused on using open sourced software to teach the topics
usually taught using closed source software. Use of word processors,
spreadsheets, graphics programs, the internet and so on.

One page linked to by your link is

This lesson plan could be adapted by changing the url given in the
lesson away from msn.com (not reliably available to open source
browsers) to google.com.
This is the sort of info I am looking for.
Thanks for the starting point. Our goal is to be able to approach
schools with a canned curriculum. We may begin by teaching adult
education classes ourselves while we tailor the material for
progressively younger age groups.
