Working with BIDS from home. Is it possible?

I just got done watching Anthony Coleman's webinar about introduction to SSIS.  It was a very good and informative webinar and got my toes wet with SSIS but I wasn't able to follow along the video from my house because I don't have BIDS installed.  I downloaded SQL Server 2012 from the Microsoft website, the one that gives you the 120 day evaluation.  My hope was to be able to practice working in BIDS so I could build up my SSIS skills from home.

Does anyone know a way to get BIDS to go along with the 120 day evaulation version of SQL Server?

In SQL 2012, it's not called BIDS. It is referred to as MS SQL Data Tools. If you installed SQL 2012, even the trial, you should see it under the directory All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2012 > SQL Server Data Tools. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Oh, you have to love Microsoft and their need to change the name of their programs every update they do. Thank you very much for that info. I do indeed have it.

Yup, the 2012 stuff is a little different than the stuff you went through in Foundation. I did a webinar on 2012 tools although I focused mostly on SSMS, I do talk about the change: http://pragmaticworks.com/Resources/webinars/WebinarSummary.aspx?ResourceID=437

After your evaluation period is up, you can try installing SQL Server express edition (free) and use it to keep learning.
