Info about the 2014
World Storytelling Day (20 March 2014) videoconference
hosted by the World Storytelling Institute is here. A
link to a recording of the videoconference is here. There is a minute of blankness starting at approx
the 16 minute mark, due to a technical difficulty on the WSI side. ______________________________ To join a "Google Hangout On Air"
videoconference for the first time: If possible, please use
Google Chrome, or Safari. For this process, it seems
one needs to have a gmail ID. If you might not already
have a gmail ID, perhaps you could create one. Please open your gmail page.
To accept an invitation to
join a Google Hangout videoconference for the
first time: On the upper right corner
of your gmail page, there may be an image of a bell. If you might NOT see an
image of a bell, look for a 3x3 set of squares in
this same area of the page (the upper right corner). If you locate this 3x3 set of
squares, click on it. Then click on
"Google+". You would be guided to join "Google+". Once you might join, it
seems a bell might then be visible. If you might see an image
of a bell, click on it. Then you might see the
invitation to join a Google Hangout videoconference. Click on the invitation,
and you would be asked to join Google Hangout. Follow the
instructions regarding how to do so. You may be
asked to download a plug-in. Finally, hopefully, you
would be prompted to accept the invitation, and you
would enter the videoconference. ______________________________ Just for general interest: To
initiate a "Google Hangout On Air" (a
videoconference that is webcasted for others to observe): Go
to https://plus.google.com/hangouts and follow the prompts. ______________________________ ______________________________ Storytelling and
