Stu - give us a hand here. What format are your video files in? Macs are, uhmmm, rather good at reading and playing video and graphics - but there are proprietary video codecs you may need to install on a Mac first depending on what you used to create them on your Windows machine.

As far as MS Word-based docs, Macs need either MS Office or Apple Pages (works with Word documents beautifully and is way cheaper and in my mind far nicer to use) loaded too. Do schools load these applications? I'm guessing they do.
