Yes you can, and there are a variety of ways this can be organized. 
For example, in one of the LA schools we work in, the classroom has 
quite a few computers but not nearly as many as there are children. 
The children's projects are published to school servers and they can 
bring them to whichever computer they are working on that day. The 
basic idea is that you should be able to author, publish, and find 
projects anywhere on the net with as close to a "one button" UI as 
possible.

This also gives children something most adults wish they had, which 
is a WYSIWYG full media authoring and publishing system for the web 
that can do all from within or without a browser.

As Andreas mentioned, some care has been taken to protect projects 
from being used as viruses. For example, they are encrypted when sent 
outside the child's machine and signature protected against being 
corrupted. Projects brought in from the outside can be run safely in 
Squeak in part because they are confined as to the resource access 
powers they have on the child's computer.

Cheers,

Alan
