First Real Time Online Class YEAH!!!!

[Alishaw]

I'm very excited to tell you that DSM is having the first interactive online class Wednesday night at 8:00 PM MST for 1 hour. It's called "Folder Icon Tutorial"
This first one is our test run so I really need all of you that can join us to be there so we can get feedback and ideas.
Here's how you join:
Click the following link to register sometime between now and then: https://www.gotomeeting.com/register/273045577 (https://www.gotomeeting.com/register/273045577)
You will receive a confirmation email with the link you need to join the class that night.
A few minutes before 8:00 PM you'll click the link and then it will give you instructions on how to call in so you can hear the audio portion. It's a different phone number and access code every time, so you'll need to follow the instructions.
Then you'll be able to see the screen, hear the audio, even type questions and ask for something to be repeated or explained again. It should be very cool!
The success of this means we could bring you additional classes and you won't have to wait or pray for us to come to your area!
PC & Mac are all invited. We'll draw for a free CD from the list of attendees.
Can't wait to see you there!

This sounds so cool!! I'm going to try to be there, but Wednesdays are a busy night for me. I think I should be free between 8 and 9 though, so hopefully it will work out. This sounds like a really great idea!

[Kelli West]

yeah, i agree! i am excited to learn! :)

[supermombritt]

I will give it a try.

[alb52]

fun- great topic, too! soooo helps w/ organization! :)

[Bverly]

Question, is this set up that those of us on dial up can participate? Or would I need a separate phone line to hear the audio portion?

[Jane M.]

This is going to be so cool. I'll be there!

Thanks!

[Jamie Hamblin]

Very Cool!

[scrapy]

I'll be there. Very Cool Indeed!!

[Jenny McDonald]

Boo Hoo! :( I have to work! Can someone takes notes and post them for me later? I really need this! Have fun everyone! I'll be thinking of you when I'm straightening up the store!

[Jamie Hamblin]

I think that they usually have a post after the class to recap for those who can't make it. If not... I'll try and take notes. :)

[Jenny McDonald]

Thanks Jamie you rock!

[Kim Hansen]

I'm registered and ready!

[A-to-Z]

I'm so excited!! I normally have class at that time but maybe I will have to miss it! :)

[Alishaw]

Bverly you would need a separate line-do you have a cell phone? Perhaps you'd get better rates with it anyway since it's probably a long distance call-RIGHT?

Jamie & Jenny-No need to take notes-It will all be recorded (hopefully) and then it can be played back later.

A-Z don't miss something too important ;) we really want you there, but not at the expense of your schooling. (just tell your professor about your addiction and that it's part of the 12 step process)

[A-to-Z]

lol...I know. I probably shouldn't miss class but I really need a break this week so I probably won't go anyways...thats the beauty of college. I've never liked school very much anyway. I'm just trying to finish..I'm so close.

[Alyson]

Amy, what is your major? You've probably told us before, but like I told Jamie earlier, my memory must be failing. That's awesome that you are almost finished!!

[chryslergreen]

Shoot! I just found this thread, but I'll be at work by then - oh wait, it's MST??? Let's see... that's 6pm here... well, I may have to order pizza for the boys and I could make it for the first half... lol...

[April]

No, isn't it 10 p.m. for you Lynette?

[peverill]

This will be great! I am so excited!

[Alishaw]

Lynette, we thought of you when we scheduled it so it wouldn't be too late on the east coast and not too early on the west coast. So won't it be 10PM?

[Liz]

That means it's at 9:00 in Texas, right? I am central time.

[Wendy]

Perfect timing! I did a search this a.m. on the forum re: organizing & found the info about the class tonight! Can't wait!

I also just gave my MIL my b-day wish list this a.m. The only things on my list were the DSM cd's I don't have yet. (I wanted to make sure to get them! Is that greedy or what?)

"See ya" tonight!

[Alyson]

I'm all registered and ready to go! And I'll definitely be there because my Physics teacher just extended the deadline for our assignmtent from tonight at mindnight until Friday night at midnight. I have nothing to get in my way now!

Wendy, hi! I don't think I've seen you around the forums yet. I hope you stick around and post more so we can all get to know you.

[Jenny McDonald]

hello Wendy! How are things?

[chryslergreen]

Yes... I'm retarted. 10 it is. LOL!!! Now if I can just convince the boss to close up fast and I can get home in time ;)

[Wendy]

Thanks for the welcome! I have been a "lurker" for quite a while (a year maybe :eek: ), but haven't joined in yet. I intend to schedule more me-time and do more digi-scrappin & posting. DSM is by far my favorite board to "lurk" - everyone is so helpful & friendly. Thanks!

[Alishaw]

Wendy-glad you feel comfortable posting and very excited you'll be joining us tonight! Should be fun. See ya then!

[Jenny McDonald]

Yeah! I'm excited! We are going to get a new addict, Wendy! Everyone say hi to Wendy!

[Quinn]

So since Mac & PC are invited, will you be teaching how to change folder icons for both operating systems or will it be PC based and Macs just get the basic idea?

Welcome Wendy! Can't wait for you to have more "me time" to spend here! How nice!

[Kelli West]

Welcome Wendy!

[April]

Welcome Wendy!!! I wrote a welcome message to you and swore I posted it. I bet it's in the middle of some other thread. Ha! Oh well. Welcome!

[Alishaw]

Quinn-it will be PC based because it is live screen. But I'd be happy to share how 'Mac'ees can do it to.

[Jamie Hamblin]

Yikes... this is all really confusing... so it's tonight... not tomorrow... what are the other things then?

[Quinn]

Interesting... makes sense. Thanks for answering my question, Alisha! Good luck at the class tonight.

I registered, but unfortunately don't think I'll be able to make it due to both kids being sick & me going insane-o. Maybe there's internet connection possibilities in the mental institution where I'll be for the next 9 months. I'll beg... ha, ha, ha.

P.S. Here's the thread with Mac image explanations on how to change the folder icons (http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/showthread.php?p=27317#post27317). Hope that's a help.

[Shari Z]

I didn't see if this was answered. Is this a long distance call? Thanks
Shari

[Kim Hansen]

Shari, I think I read somewhere that it is a long distance call.

[Kim Hansen]

Shari, go to the first page on this thread and read Alishaw's second post.

[A-to-Z]

Yay I'm sooo excited for the class tonight!!!

[A-to-Z]

Welcome Wendy!! So glad you are here!!

[April]

So since Mac & PC are invited, will you be teaching how to change folder icons for both operating systems or will it be PC based and Macs just get the basic idea? That's a good question. Alisha?

Usually, the classes will totally work for Macs but I'm not positive about this one.

[supermombritt]

quinn I will have to miss out as well I think. My husband just got back in town and had to be at young men's tonight so I have to do the kid thing. I am hoping they will go to bed early so I can still catch it. Those of you with kids know that whenever you want your kids to go to bed early, they dont'.

[April]

yes Shari it will be a long distance call. Your phone bill will be the cost of the class which still makes the class pretty cheap. At least that's what we thought.

[Jamie Hamblin]

Is anybody online? I'm being put on hold.

[montmeag]

Awesome class, thanks! I never knew how to do that before, now I do. I really like being able to see it in action instead of just written instruction. Not that written instruction is bad, it will just stick in my head better this way. Thanks again!

[A-to-Z]

This class was PHENOMENAL!! I'm a much more visual person and can get things SO MUCH quicker and easier if I see it than having to read it. I loved it!! I will definetly be there for the next one if I can!

[Alishaw]

YEAH! I'm so glad you guys liked it. We've got a whole bunch of others in mind so we will get it all organized and keep you posted.

[April]

Thank you so much Alisha!!!

[Alishaw]

Thank you April for letting me do it!

[peverill]

Alishaw You are GREAT!!!! It was amazing!

[Kim Hansen]

EXCELLENT! It was Perfect. Saved me driving time too. I hope you will do it again. You guys are soooo good to us. THANK YOU THANK YOU.

[LucyLu]

that was great... i used my cell so no long distance charges and I have a zillion minutes i never use... no driving time loved it ...

[Alishaw]

Dottie I'm so glad to hear that 'cause I worried about the audio part. Hopefully others did the same. AND we could even do one and call it a pajama party and not have to be dressed up or do our hair!

[Jenny McDonald]

:(:(:(:(:( I'm crying! I missed it because of stupid work! I wish I could have joined in on the fun! I'm glad it went well though!

[Kelli West]

Alisha, you did so well! and it was fun to hear what you sound like! I learned a lot, and I thank you! can't wait till the next one! Keep up the good work! :)

[Alishaw]

Jenny-I don't think Children's Place is stupid at all ;) I quite love it! We'll be sure to catch you on the next one.
Kelli-thanks! 'preciate you coming so I wasn't talking to myself.

[Alyson]

I was planning on being there (it's weird saying that since 'there' is really right here at my computer :confused:), but I had a huge headache and I was contemplating going to sleep. Then my cousin stopped by and so I didn't go to sleep, but I had company. I'm sad that I missed it, but at least my headache is mostly gone.

[Jane M.]

Thanks so much for doing the class. That is definately how I learn best. You did an excellent job.....I learned alot.

[April]

Alyson, I hope your headache is all gone now.

[Jenny McDonald]

when will the audio replay of the chat be up and running? I know it might not help me that much now that I have a Mac but you never know!

[brookiewookie]

Sounds like it was a success!! i wasn't able to make it but look forward to future "webinars."

[Jamie Hamblin]

Great job everyone! WHo were the people answering the questions... they did great too! Just great!

[scrapy]

That was great and I learned a new thing. Good job, I'm looking forward to future webinars.

[Alyson]

Alyson, I hope your headache is all gone now.

Thanks April! I'm feeling much better this morning...of course that might be because I woke up late and missed my morning class. :o

[A-to-Z]

Yes! I love missing classes!!! :) I probably love it tooo much.

[A-to-Z]

In honor of Alishaw's AMAZING webinar I thought I would post a couple of the previews I've made...I have a TON I downloaded from Atomic cupcake that don't have any previews so I've been making my own. Its going to HELP so much but it does take a long time!! :)

[A-to-Z]

That one is a kit called "Casanova" and heres one thats called "Bright New Day"...

[Jamie Hamblin]

Way to go AMY! I bet Alishaw is going to feel so good when she sees this!

[Alishaw]

Amy-so cool! Those look so good. It's a lot of work, huh? But so worth it! Great job!

[Jenny McDonald]

When is it going to be available for the people that couldn't make it? Sorry, I posted this once already and I don't think anyone saw it. So, I just want to make sure someone sees it! Thanks!

[April]

Jenny, it should be soon but I'm not exactly sure how it will all work yet. Sorry.

[Jenny McDonald]

Is all good! I'm really excited to read or hear it!
