If they are, then they won't be able to access a lot of flash movies online. This should be a consideration as you decide which platform/s will host your class's work.
Fortunately, HTML5 is accessible on multiple platforms. And developers are adding functions to it every day. Take Mozilla, for example:
"Video on the web has always been a bit disappointing.
After all, it’s pretty much just like television, only smaller. And unlike the rest of the web, video is just as much a passive experience in your browser as it is anywhere else.
Mozilla would like to change that. Developers at the browser maker’s Drumbeat project — an initiative that advocates new open web technologies — have created Popcorn, a tool intended to make web video every bit as interactive as the rest of the web.
Popcorn is a very new effort and still a bit rough around the edges, but results are already impressive. Popcorn adds metadata to HTML5 native web video, annotating videos with information like location, details about the people and topics in the video, subtitles, and licensing details. The metadata can be used in real time to add to the experience."

It's Baaaaaack...
About a year and a half ago, I pitched a project that would have youth creating their own original content for digital media distribution. Doesn't sound so innovative at first - after all, most youth media programs have youtube channels.
But what I was hoping to do was to help bridge the digital divide with a completely different technology - a little internet box that families can purchase for under $200. Eventually I dropped the idea because it looked like the iPod touch might be taking over.
But Chumby, the little internet box that could, is back with a new model and an even lower price. Take a look - might be a nice way for your program to combine user interface/design concepts with digital storytelling and 21st century distribution models.
