I don't know if they used subtitles or created a new soundtrack. The latter would seem to be preferable. It wouldn't distract from the writing and it doesn't depend on the learner being able to read.</div><div><br></div><div>Caryl<br><br>> From: cjlhomeaddress@gmail.com<br>> Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2011 00:25:44 -0400<br>> Subject: Re: [IAEP] Etoys Videos for Khan Academy<br>> To: cbigenho@hotmail.com<br>> CC: nanonano@mediagala.com; iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org<br>> <br>> On Mon, Jun 6, 2011 at 12:04 AM, Caryl Bigenho <cbigenho@hotmail.com> wrote:<br>> > Hola Paolo and all,<br>> ><br>> > The Khan Academy videos have already been converted to ogg and play very<br>> > nicely on the XO-1.
