Camp time or routine of instruction
I am assuming we have a weekly webinar. If this is an online class, could you please give me the weekly routine and expectations for participation. I'm excited to be a part of this camp and hope my summer activities won't keep me from being a part. Thank you.

Hey Doretta,
I have pasted the tentative schedule of set events below. As you can see, we have a few webinars and a chat, but the bulk of the camp will involve group work that can be done at anytime in our online forums. Also, we will make archives of the webinars and chat available after they are complete.
We are going to email all camp registrants in the next day or two with more detailed information about the schedule, groups, and how to participate in all the different components.
Thanks for the question. We look forward to having you at camp next week!

Thank you, George. Sounds great!
I am on a cycling trip until tuesday and will not have access to the internet - will there be notes posted from Monday's webinar?
The email I just got says,
The email I just got says, "1) Download and install the Elluminate platform so you can attend all webinars. Use this easy one-click installation wizard." But the link does not take me to an installation wizard and I cannot find the correct link to download Elluminate.

Hi Becca - There will be archives of all webinars posted, so you can hear one or all of them after the fact. Have a great trip!

Hi Mary -
Can you answer the following questions:
1) What kind of computer do you have?
2) What browser version are you running? (eg Internet explorer 7)
3) Can you describe what happens when you click this link?
http://www.elluminate.com/Support/?id=62
Specifically, does it ask you for access to your computer?
If yes, what Java version are you running? (Should appear under Step 1)
thanks!

Following up
Just to let everyone know, I received a private message from Mary above.
She writes:
When I clicked on the link below it said Congratulations.... so I guess I am good to go. I just expected Elluminate to be listed in my program list or on my desktop and it isn't.
Thanks,
Mary Ball
Just wanted to pass this along in case anyone else is wondering. The "Congratulations" is the indication that you're set. Once you attend the webinar, you will see the Elluminate name/icon in your program list.
thanks!

Competition in Sweden
Hi,
I hope that this can still workout. I will be in Sweden (competing in swimming & synchronized swimming) during the last week of camp. I have already checked that the hotel has a computer/business center, so I think I'll be able to access most of the components of the camp. I am just concerned that I may not complete my assignments that last week (the actual competition is from Aug. 2 thru 6th).
Thanks.
Last week at PBL Camp
Hi Corby -
The last week of the camp will be working with small groups to refine your projects. So if you can find time to meet with others on your team, you should be fine. Good luck in your competition!
