You probably should ask the debian-edu/skolelinux people - they specialise
in using Debian in schools.
Debian edu: see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu
Skolelinux: see http://www.skolelinux.org/portal/
The projects are quite closely related, and there's mailing lists and IRC
channels for both.
How can I get Demo-material and Live-CDs of the current version.
Debian itself does not distribute demo material, and also doesn't have a
live CD. I don't know what the Skolelinux people do/have. There are many
live CDs based on Debian, however, so you may want to try one of these
(popular choices are Knoppix and Ubuntu, but there's probably more than 15
or so by now.)
The current version of Debian is sarge/3.1r1, see
http://www.debian.org/distrib/ on how to obtain it. If your school has
decent network connection, I recommend downloading only the netinst or
businesscard ISO (http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/) and then set up a
local package repository with one of apt-cacher, apt-proxy, debmirror or
debpartial-mirror on the first machine you install. Then install all other
machines from that mirror, and you'll end up only downloading what you need
and downloading every package only once. (For a typical installation,
you'll only download 600M or so, which is obviously much less than 14 full
CD images.)
There's also certainly some Linux users' group in your area, you should
probably ask there, somebody may be ready to help you getting started.
