Move multiple windows from 1 application to different spaces?

Hello,

I have  need to have 11 Windows open in Safari (or Firefox, or Chrome, it really doesn't matter) and I need to have those windows positioned on different spaces.  Currently I am set up with an i5 iMac and a second monitor. I have spaces set up as follows:

Space 1: Firefox (or Safari) on main iMac screen, Mail on 2nd monitor
Space 2: College Class Lectures on main iMac Screen, College Class Bulletin board on second monitor
Space 3: College Class Lectures on main iMac Screen, College Class Bulletin board on second monitor
Space 4: College Class Lectures on main iMac Screen, College Class Bulletin board on second monitor
Space 5: College Class Lectures on main iMac Screen, College Class Bulletin board on second monitor
Space 6: College Class Lectures on main iMac Screen, College Class Bulletin board on second monitor

Each space is a separate college class that I am taking. Once in a while Firefox/Safari seems to crash after Flash crashes and I have to restart the program. That's fine, but all my windows are now on space 1 :/

I have written enough Applescript code to be able to resize all the windows to the size I want them and ensure that they are set to full-screen, but I cannot for the life of me, figure out what documentation to look at or how to go about using Applescript to say something like

if theWindow = "NameOfCollegeClass" then
 move theWindow to Space 2
end if

Is this possible? It would be really handy and save me a decent amount of time...

Thanks
