I presented for the class this week and I think it went well. I am pretty confident when it comes to speaking in front of a class or in front of my peers, and have not problem presenting in Blackboard Chat, but it was a new experience presenting in audio via elluminate. This was a great vehicle for presenations, rather than in chat where people are waiting for you to type unless you have prepared it before hand (which I always appreciate). I also like that there is the white board where you can write, post websites up, or show a powerpoint.
In my other class we are creating podcasts to give a tour of websites we developed. I think this would be another great tool to use in Virtual Reference Enviroments and one that many libraries and school are using for everything from virtual tours to class instruction to student presentation. I was surprised how easy it was to make a podcast at podcastpeople.com and am going to see if it is a blocked site at work. If it isn't, or if I can find another podcast creation site (where i only need a microphone), maybe that is the next thing I will do with my 8th grade students.

Hi Glynis,
Happy to hear your first Elluminate Live! presentation went well. If you'd like a free virtual room of your own to experiment with for meetings with up to 2 other people, Elluminate vRoom is available. It's got all the functionality of Live! except recording. And you can use it as long as you like. Just visit www.getvroom.com.
