Well we did it :-) and we're still hear to tell the tale. Our presentation was on Friday and whilst I know many people have been using these tools for a while, this was our first time.

I was very impressed with how it all worked and the range of tools available. We attempted to use everything single one available :-o and that mad rush of clicking buttons, switching screens etc. made it even more enjoyable.

Now I need to find an excuse to do it all again as a presenter. I'm hooked.

Paul and I (Catherine) uploaded some more content onto the BBC Learning English area this morning (Wednesday) and practised using the software. 

Paul was at his house and I was at mine - so we spoke on the phone while we both logged on to our PCs and experimented with the various features of Elluminate.  It seemed like a good way to get used to the 'remoteness'...

Just registered in preparation for our presentation next Friday. Never used these types of tools before so I'm (paul) interested in finding out how easy (or difficult) it's actually going to be.

So far, so good. I've registered, uploaded images, selected some newsletters and now tried to blog in this area. Not sure what happens with this when I post, who gets to see it etc.
