Elluminate+Schedule

=Face to Face meetings =

Culminating Celebration - May 8, 2009
=Elluminate Webinars =
 * The online webinar sessions will be held the virtual meeting environment "Elluminate". Prior to each session, your Team Leader will be given a web link to share with all team members. This link will enable one to download the software and access the virtual meeting space.
 * Each team member will need a computer with a a high speed Internet connection and headset with a mic for each session. It works best if Team Leaders are available to help all team members log in a few hours before the scheduled meeting time. This will identify any issues to troubleshoot in advance.
 * Someone from PLP will be available one hour prior to each Elluminate session to help make logging in a success.
 * Team members should not be in the same room during the Elluminate sessions because of audio feedback; however, it is doable (a bit annoying) as long as you each have headsets.

Eastern: 2:00- 4:00 and 4:30-6:30pm and 8-10pm (each session is offered 3 xs)
