In case you were unable to attend the GIST webinars that were hosted last week, here are the recorded sessions. We are still learning our new Adobe Connect software so I apologize for the crude narrating and editing, but hopefully you will find these to be helpful.
Thank you!

I asked and you responded!
Thank you for the great feedback on my survey for an upcoming webinar about GIST. Based on your responses it looks like I will host two separate webinars. I also appreciate your extra comments and will address any questions I have received during the demonstration. If you can’t attend during the actual live webinar, these sessions will be recorded and made available to you afterward.
GIST Basics webinar -Tuesday, December 16 10:00 am - 11:00 am (CST)
This one-hour demonstration will highlight some of the basic tools required to edit an organizer using the GIST software. These skills include: editing text and color, adding shapes, working with line labels and connectors, alignment, and saving.
GIST Advanced webinar -Thursday, December 18 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm (CST)
This one-hour demonstration will focus on using the linking and layering features. I also will show how to insert an image and share a few presentation tips.
Thank you!
P.S. Bonus points for anyone who can tell me how many times I used the word “webinar” in this post. 
We have recently acquired some very cool webinar software known as Adobe Connect. This software allows us to interact with others all across the nation…and all from the comfort of our offices. All you will need is Adobe Flash Player software (which is already installed on more than 98% of Internet-enabled computers), but don’t worry about that right now.
Aaron and I would like to start offering monthly webinar sessions that demonstrate or describe topics that are useful to our network. We’d like to get this party started with a webinar about GIST. It will likely take place during the week of December 15th, but first we need to hear from you!
Thank you for your input and we look forward to collaborating with you in the future. Further details will be posted soon.
P.S. This handy little survey was created using Google Docs. Pretty cool, huh? You can check it out here.
I know I mentioned it in the preview videos, and you’ll receive a warning message in Depot if you try it, but you can’t upload GIST files to Depot using Safari. It has to do with GIST not being a run-of-the-mill file type (like PDF, Word, etc.) and thus Safari not properly sending the file to my server. I’m continuing to look into it but as it’s looking it’s out of my hands. Firefox and Opera both work great, though, and all other functions in Depot work fine in Safari, including uploading non-GIST files.
This might be a good thing to file in the back of your head if you’re a Windows-based PDer who walks into a Mac-based school one day to do PD with GIST and Depot–
