# Show the Home View.

# Show the XO icon and draw attention to its colors and how they are used throughout the interface to represent "your work".

# Show how one gets to the Frame and its main features.

# Show the Neighborhood View. Show that one can get there from the Frame or from F1.

# Demonstrate connecting to an AP. Explain that more color in the circle means stronger signal (as opposed to how "full" it is).

# Show the Group View and that "friends" will show up there.

# Show the Journal where one's work is saved.

# Demonstrate that to do something, one goes to one's Home View and clicks on any of the icons. They are the Activities.

# Demonstrate Chat - "This balloon is the Chat Activity" - as it only has a simple toolbar, and it can be easily used to explain activity sharing essentials.

# Point out sharing in the Activity toolbar: "This — the "Share with:" combo box — makes your Activity appear in the Neighborhood View. Your friends can connect to it. Enjoy a little chat with your friends and see how important the Sugar colors are to identify you."

# Point our Write: "This pen and paper icon is a text editor. Yes, it has the same toolbar as Chat. No, you don't have to use it like a chat."
