Writing Software for Webinar

As many of you know, Wed. July 13th I hosted a live Innovation in a Box webinar which was very successful. If you happened to miss it and are interested, you can still watch the recorded version by clicking or copying the following link into your browser: http://www.juiceinc.com/media/webinar/innovation-in-a-box-everyday-people-breakthrough-solutions

We received many inquiries as to what writing program I used for the webinar, so here is some more information!

The program I used for drawing on the screen is called Ultimate Pen, http://www.snowmintcs.com/products/ultimatepenmac/.

• I work on a Mac, and I'm not sure if there is a PC equivalent, although a little Google searching might turn something up.
• It's not a great app, but works okay. This is the first time I've used it for a webinar, so it was interesting.
• I had created the presentation in Keynote (the Apple PPT equivalent) and exported it as a PDF. I did this because Ultimate Pen didn't seem to like the objects/images inserted into my slides. Making the presentation a PDF made for a more stable "base".
• The actual drawing was done on a Wacom Cintiq monitor, which is a deluxe option that allows you to draw directly on the screen, which gives more control. A cheaper and definitely passable option is a standard Wacom USB tablet. Not quite as intuitive, but okay.

Finally - a bit of practice makes, well, if not exactly perfect, certainly all right.
