The following videos are meant as support for teachers who have to learn to work with the XO-laptop and who need more time and exercise than normally available during computer training cources.

If provided on an USB-stick, such videos can be directly displayed on an XO-laptop.

The following examples are prototyps to demonstrate the idea. If accepted the contents as well as the video and sound quality need to be improved.
