My personal success or the presentation-program: so proud… hehe
… of what I´ve learned during the last session. And that even automaticly – eLearning is great I guess
We started to use an online-presentation program (this is the only link you´ll get so far) where we had to figure out first HOW the hell it worked. Loggin in – ok that is easy. But afterwards we had to create a presentation platform where it was possible for all of us to work on it from different places. Yes, I know, the aces amongst you are laughing at me – OK I CAN LIVE WITH THAT!!!
Besides: No one is born a master…
But: practice makes perfect and so after a while I figured out how to create that platform for us (Yes, I sort of have an Idiome-Day today hehe). I admit, after finding the “create your platform”-button, it wasn´t that difficult anymore^^.
Now my curiosity went into direction of finding a spot, a text, a hint, something for sharing this platform with my group members…
Finally, on top of that page was written “share”, which I figured would be a good start. When you click on that button, you can see three underparts “Invite”, “Shared Details” and “Notify Shared Users”.
Hard guess, of course I used the invitation fraction and found 4 small windows that were split up in two groups: a) Read only members, b) Read/Write members. To these spaces you could add either individual members or whole groups to attend.
My choice was clear than: we want to work together on this project, so it had to be the “Read/Write”-section.
Next step is to fill in the e-mail information of the group members and send them an invitation. WOW loads of new input, I know hehe.
After a while my other groupmembers appeard on the right side of my screen and I could see wether they were on- or offline.^^ Here comes the point where you can also start chatting with them when they´re online. Cool stuff.
Last step, just save your draft or whatever you have done on the presentation and the biggest steps are done!
One last hint: Normally I use the opera-browser all day long, but it pointed out, that some of these programes that we´re using (including wordpress.com) are working more fluently with different browsers. But one day later the other browser refused to work, too….
Last but not least: Don´t ask me, why exactly I wrote this post. Maybe I just had fun sharing my experiences with you, maybe I just want to try to help others, maybe I just felt bored by the stupid wednesday… I DON´T KNOW!
But well, this seminar and this blog is about eLearning and all the stuff around, so I´m proud of all the small steps I take with new programes on the internet – after all it´s all about eLearning, isn´t it???

Thank you very much for this item of yours! I´m working on my project and have just noticed that I´m just producing a conventional essay. You gave me a hint of a different direction, an e-direction of the task. I have no idea what to use to create a short film (as in Ralph´s example), but I will start by having a look at the on-line page you connected to your post.
