Moodle Theming
The current theme included in EduBlog's moodle is lacking. Hiding the trace only makes it harder to navigate for administrators and future usage. UI cleanness should be achieved by proper configuration. Themes are kept in folders in moodle/theme and are picked up automatically by the system.
See more information on themes and a couple of tutorials.
Suggestion: Modify one of the existing themes at: [1] (keep it lightweight)

Authentication
Speak to server-devel about planned password-less XS Moodle authentication system. Giving kids passwords is not a good idea... A public key authentication system using the XOs and Moodle's keys would be ideal.
More down-to-earth, though highly unsecure, is the possibility of using MAC addresses for authentication (run a lookup of the IP's MAC address in the server's ARP cache and validate it against a list of allowed addresses).
