Participate in a Webinar? Who Me?

Kind of looks like serious business here, doesn't it? That's my iPad in front of me and I am tucked into a quiet corner in the Minocqua Public Library (WI) using their WiFI connection which is free and faster than mine at home.

Here I am adjusting the earphones at the start of the program. 4 pm EST and 3 pm CST (me the latter) in Wisconsin.

Here is one of the first slides up.

The Webinar was titled "Untangling Zentangle" and hosted by Australian Artist, Kass Hall.

I first heard about this when my Florida friend Cynthia alerted me to it and I registered (free) and thought I'd give it a try.

First I had to download an app called "GoToMeeting" in order to set up my iPad for this event. (Also free.) I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to SEE Kass talking (just hear her live from Australia). And I heard the presenter who introduced her and then collected questions participants typed in and read them to Kass. I think some Webinars are set up for visuals and for interactive talking. But this one was a short one (one hour) and so they stuck to a power point presentation and Cass's narration and discussion.

When there was a slide up that I wanted to keep I simple took a photo of my iPad screen! There was enough time to do that.

Like all art forms, there are rules but they are made to broken.

She has just written a book called Zentangle Untangled which you can buy at Amazon.com. Kind of cool to be listening to Cass from Australia while I sat in WI! I think I will get her book. Looks great. There will be another webinar on August 29 on Journals. Another technology adventure for me!
