The training is not designed to make participants experts in Microsoft Windows XP, nor does the curriculum involve an in-depth study of specific software applications; rather, the goal of the course is to familiarize teachers with the basic concepts of the Windows operating system, while guiding them through the transition from the Mac OS to Microsoft Windows XP. |
