I am interested in using presentation software for our community engagement and development work. Elluminate is one program that looks very useful. I will pass it on to our Board contact person for his review.

Here is the company’s bumf on their product.

At FutureU, we understand that real-time online learning and Web-based meetings are all about usability (ease of use) and usefulness (functionality and productivity). Sure, your content, instructors, and meeting facilitators have to be good. But if the software is hard to use or you don’t get enough accomplished, you put communication in jeopardy, lose learning opportunities, and confuse and lose your faculty and students. That’s why we think Elluminate is the best tool for real-time learning and meeting over the Internet. We’ve looked at most of the market leaders and we decided to use Elluminate for our own work. So it is with pride and purpose that we recommend Elluminate to our prospects and clients.

Here is a nice looking video on using blogs and video in an elementry classroom. It comes from Dean Shareski’s blog; Ideas and Thoughts from an EdTech. At his blog, I picked up a link to a nice review of video sharing sites and programs.
