Elements 8 question

I am teaching a beginner Elements class the last 2 weeks in Jan.
They are installing PSE8 on the computers so I went out and got the new version.
I have been working in CS3 but had PSE5.

Anyone want to share what they have found that is new in PSE8 that I should not miss?
I am going to try and make myself work in Elements until the class starts so I don't look like an idiot for not knowing where things are.

oh and I am looking for the correct version of ACR? Anyone know?

Thanks Tennie... I don't want to be fumbling around for where the tools are located.
I heard 8 had some pretty cool stuff but I don't even know what to look for.
Maybe I will head to the village and check out some videos.

ok... I followed the directions for installing Camera Raw 5.6.
Went to "open as", and it says it is the wrong kind of document.

It has been a while but isn't it "open as"?

I looked at those Chas. (some help)

What the heck is refine edges in the top tool bar. The effects looks interesting but I can't get it to work on my images?
