Again, thanks for joining us for this special TechSoup hosted online discussion for Accelerating Your Impact with DocuSign. I'm Aretha Simons, the webinar producer here at TechSoup. And by now, you've probably signed your name electronically on a document at least once, you know, whether it's from school, buying a house or something. Today we're going to learn more about how DocuSign can help your organization move away from the paper process and improve your operational efficiency. Before we do that, let's discuss how you can engage today. Currently everyone is on mute. Please use the Q&A to ask your question. It's really best if you use the Q&A because, you know, the chat room just moves up so fast. So, but feel free to continue to ask your questions in the chat room. This will be recorded and you'll get the replay within four to eight hours. Any links that we have, we'll share with them on the email to everyone who is registered. Feel free to forward that and share it with your friends. If you learned something new today that you'd like or you've learned something that, hey, I didn't know this about DocuSign, feel free to tweet at us at TechSoup, share it on Instagram, Facebook. If you need the closed caption, it is available. Turn on the CC button located at the bottom of your Zoom. So if this is your first time visiting TechSoup, welcome. As you know, TechSoup is a global network bridging promotional digital solutions and services for good. And one of our partners who helps TechSoup accomplish this by offering discount rates to TechSoup community members is DocuSign. So I'm excited today that I have two of DocuSign members here. We have Kathy Yamada. She is a partner alliance manager at DocuSign. DocuSign helps organizations connect and automate how they prepare, sign, act on, and manage agreements. And Kathy works with nonprofit industry technology partners, such as TechSoup, to create an ecosystem that provides nonprofits the intelligent administrative tech stack they need to deliver a seamless user experience for their volunteers, their staff, and donors alike. It also enables nonprofits to focus on what matters the most, which is their mission. And we also have with us today Erica Smith. She's the digital marketing specialist on DocuSign's digital business team. With more than four years of market experience between the customer good space and Tech, Erica is a client relationship enthusiast. She plays an active role in the DocuSign TechSupport partnership as well as an expert in the DocuSign Impact Global Initiative. Kathy, thank you for being here today. I'm going to turn it over to you. Thank you so much for the introduction there, Rita. And thank you for all our attendees here for joining us today. Like Aretha mentioned, my name is Kathy Yamada. And I'm here to tell you a little bit more about DocuSign. For those of you that are a little bit less familiar with us. So a little bit background on DocuSign. Since our inception in 2003, DocuSign has been on a mission to accelerate business and simplify life for organizations and people around the world. Most of you may already know of us as the pioneering e-signature company, but we've evolved over the years. And today DocuSign helps organizations connect and automate how they prepare, sign, act on, and manage agreements. As part of the DocuSign Agreement Cloud, DocuSign offers e-signature, the number one way to sign electronically on practically any device, almost anywhere at any time. Our value is simple to understand. Legacy paper-based processes are manual, slow, expensive, and error prep. So we eliminate the paper, automate the process, and connect it all to the other systems that you're already using today. So today we'll be sharing more with you on how we help organizations like yours. Every organization has a system of agreement, whether you know it or not. And next slide, please. I think you might have skipped one. There we go. So this is how you prepare, sign, act, and manage your agreements. Oh, I'm sorry, Aretha. I think you might have skipped over a couple. So from the creation of your agreements, the back and forth review and red line of those agreements to printing them for signature, scanning, and sending them off to update other records, and ultimately storing those documents and filing them away into the different systems that you have. Now, these manual processes usually require re-entering every keying of data, which creates errors and inefficiency, and of course, is very time consuming. Next slide. When an organization has these kinds of problems, the status quo has real costs. That includes hard dollar costs and productivity costs, which include paper overnighting like FedEx, and then staff time spent re-keying data. But there are other serious costs too, which includes turn around time in measuring in days or weeks, basically slowing down the delivery of value and donor staff and volunteer experiences alike takes a hit. The agreement cloud is part of our journey of continuous innovation. You've been with us as we've become the world's number one e-signature provider, and this will always be at the core and heart of what we do. In fact, we have lots of innovations in this particular space to showcase in that area, but a natural progression and extension of that has been launching the agreement cloud to help modernize your entire system of agreement from prepare, sign, acting on, and managing and becoming the world's number one agreement cloud company. So through our suite of products, 350 plus integration points, which includes other technology partners like salesforce.org, which you're familiar with, and flux grants management are easy to access and use APIs, purpose built industry solutions. We're able to help organizations like yours with your agreement process from beginning to end. Agreements are everywhere from front of office to back of office, and some of these documents and agreements you might already be familiar with, like waiver forms for volunteers, grants applications as you see on there, and vendor contracts. There's a multitude of different use cases, maybe some on there on the screen that you haven't thought of before, but DocuSign can basically help you with any of these with your mission. So we've seen a demand in nonprofit programs grow this past year during the pandemic, especially we saw an increase in demand for different types of services all across the country. And digital agreements and virtual program delivery played a crucial part in running these programs. The DocuSign nonprofit agreement cloud has helped organizations adapt to these new processes so that nonprofits can focus on what really matters, which is basically serving your stakeholders during these unprecedented times. DocuSign is also supporting nonprofit organizations by providing grants, donations, and volunteer labor to help organizations achieve their missions. So to tell us a little bit more about all this work is Erica. Kathy, hi everyone. I'm Erica. I am on the marketing team here at DocSign, and I'll kick us off with a quick overview of the DocuSign global initiative here in creating more, isn't it? So in addition to tier time off and offering matching nations and volunteer hours, we've committed, sorry, my internet is cutting out a little bit. Let me start over on this slide. I am employees with three days of paid volunteer time off and offering over $3 million in grants to organizations fighting to protect the world's forests. On the product side, we've embedded our signature product. So providing our customers with an illustrative view of their savings of wood, waste, and water carbon emissions by using DocuSign e-signature basis and paper-based process. So one of the ways we're executing on DocuSign impact mission is by providing discounted and donated e-signature licenses to small nonprofit organizations, looking for an easier and more efficient way to serve their stakeholders. So through TechSoup, we offer two of our most popular web plans. That's our standard and business pro web plan. So if we hop to the next slide, I can give an overview of that. But basically any nonprofit with eligible for our TechSoup offer, which after paying the TechSoup set admin fee, you'll have the choice between a standard web plan for free or business for $99 a year. And that's over a 75% discount. So the difference between those two plans will come down to the features that are offered through each plan. And so you can see on the slide that I've bolded the premium features that are available in each plan. But both standard and business pro will offer you all of the basics, which are the ability to send and sign documents for signature. You'll have access to basic fields, and basic fields include name, date, signature, title, company, email, anything along those lines. And then lastly, the basics include access to our mobile apps so that you can send and sign documents on the go. In addition to the basics, our standard plan will offer you the ability to create templates. A template is basically a blueprint for repeatable envelopes. So rather than adding specific names and emails to the envelope, you'll just add placeholder recipients that you can customize before sending the template. And overall, this will just save you a ton of time on setup. So our standard plan will also give you the option to set reminders and notification to help your envelopes get signed faster. You can add personalized branding to reflect your company. And you can also unlock access to our comments feature so that you can communicate with your signers in real time. So our business pro plan will offer you all of the basics and everything that I just described in our standard plan. But you'll also have access to a few of our most powerful features. One of those is payments, which will allow you to collect payments with your signatures at the same time. Additionally, business pro allows you to unlock more advanced fields. Another powerful feature of business pro is signer attachments, which allows you to request your recipients to upload an attachment as a part of the signing process. So an example of this could be a driver's license. And then lastly, business pro also offers you bulk send so you can import a list of recipients and send a unique document and a unique email to each recipient. And then our power forms feature will allow you to publish your templates online and send customers a link to fill that document out at their leisure. So due to the success and the demand from TechSoup members, we decided to launch a solution for any nonprofit over $1 million in annual budget. So after paying your set admin fee, our TechSoup advanced solution offer offers a plan for over a 40% discount. Our TechSoup advanced solution offer includes everything that I mentioned in our standard and business pro plan, but you'll also have access to our integrations, connectors, single sign on, custom customizable usage limits on the user level and advanced enterprise level support, which means you'll get a dedicated account team and 24 hours support. So for those organizations using our standard or business pro web accounts, we're excited to share a brand new support resource for you all. We pride ourselves on offering an intuitive and user friendly product, but we also recognize that many small nonprofits are understaffed and under-resourced and learning any new software platform can just be overwhelming. So the DocuSign Impact Corps connects you with your organization with a community of skilled and passionate DocuSign employees who want to help maximize the impact by moving those manual paper-based processes to the cloud. So whether you're just getting started with DocuSign eSignature or your more experienced user but needing a little bit more support to overcome a roadblock, our experts are here to help you. And signing up for the DocuSign Impact Corps is super easy. Head over to impactcorps.docuSign.com and create an account and I will copy and paste that link into the chat box in case you missed it, but once we've reviewed and approved your application, you'll have access to search our database of DocuSign volunteers who are searched based on the volunteer's location, the language unstable connection. So apologies there, but once we've reviewed your you can refine your database and here's the languages spoken, hobbies and scientists. So once you've found a good match, you can request and schedule a one-on-one meeting for an initial hour long consultation. And at the end of your session, you'll have an opportunity to submit feedback. And you can also schedule a follow up customer story where nonprofit partners always dream. They requested donated eSignature licenses to help manage the operations of their early childhood literacy program in Arizona, California, and Hawaii. So through an hour long consultation with DocuSign Impact Court volunteers, Always Dream Foundation's director of programs got an overview of our standard account features along with a walkthrough of how to set up a template for MOUs with partnering school districts. And they also learned how to organize and sync their files with Dropbox, which is Always Dream Foundation's file storage of choice. So with that, I'll pass it back to Aretha. Thank you so much, Erica. You know, you never know with technology, but we'll make sure we get the slides to everyone so you'll be able to go back through the slides and pick some nuggets up from this. So next, I have two of my team members here from TechSoup. Today, we have Liz Forbes. She is a senior paper and culture journalist. And we have Jacob Chang. He is the associate general counsel here at TechSoup. I think, Liz, we're going to start with you. Great. Thanks, Aretha. Hi, everyone. So I, as Aretha mentioned, my name is Liz Forbes. I work on TechSoup's people and culture team or HR team as a senior generalist. Our team adopted DocuSign in the beginning of 2018.  And I handled all of the paperwork for staff across our US team, as well as some of Europe. Documents in general take a long time to process. And at TechSoup, that was, you know, no different. If I needed a form signed, I would have to print it, chase after people for signatures, scan form, process it online, file it away. And filing, I'm sure as many people here can attest to is just not a fun task. It usually ends up a lower priority. And sometimes I find myself generally like overwhelmed by how much paperwork was on my desk. I would try cutting out some steps by having forms already printed. But anytime I made a change to a template or found an updated form, I had to recycle the forms, which, and I wasn't happy about how much paper was going to waste. I had to also rely on people either being in the office or at their computers or having working printers, they could sign the forms. And if they weren't in the office, it just delayed a lot of our processes. I would also come to my desk and find forms with signatures. But if there was an imprinted name or I couldn't make out their signature, it was really hard to figure out if form was even valid. Sign forms would go to the wrong people, they would sit on a finance desk. There was just general confusion about where forms should go once they were signed. New hires, they would receive an email with all of their hiring paperwork or their offer letters. But if they didn't have the technology to print and scan forms, then we had to wait until the first day to hire them into our systems and make their personnel files. And, you know, if they had messy handwriting, it took them a little longer because I had to ask them what they had written. Now, and if you can go to the next slide, please. So now, we mainly use DocuSign in two ways. So we send envelopes and documents for signature and we also host power forms on our intranet site. So it makes this process a lot easier. One of the many types of documents that we send out, of course, are the new hire paperwork. We send out the offer letter, the application, all of the things that we need to actually hire the person in our systems. We no longer have to rely on new hires having a printer or a scanner. They can just sign and send their forms back within minutes. And if something needs to be corrected, I can easily adjust the form without having to cross out mistakes or create messy forms. Having a neat e-signature package has been huge for our team's digital transformation. I also really like the DocuSign's power form feature. So we're able to set up templates that staff can access without having to come to our team, which means that our team has more bandwidth to dedicate towards other initiatives. If someone needs to make changes to their retirement accounts, request to pay advance, or sign our remote work agreements, they can go to our intranet, fill out a form, and it goes directly to someone on our team who can then process the change. Managers can also go through our staff change form and they can input compensation or position changes. It goes directly to the pre-programmed people for signature and then it goes back to our team to process. So it's made everything just a lot easier. And having a place where we can see all the power forms that are filled out helps us actually be able to process our payroll and makes everything a little bit faster. I have a checklist where I say, okay, let's check the change form. So I go to DocuSign and I go through all the change forms that have been filled out. And so everything is just where I need it to be. Additionally, I am really on those forms, I can walk in signatories. So if I know that a form always needs to have a certain person signing it, I can make sure that that person is programmed into the template. So overall, we can send a lot of our forms safely and confidentially. We are still sending forms across the U.S., but we're also sending them to staff in other countries and DocuSign really helps us fulfill that security requirement. So we can send contracts and offer letters. People can update their benefits and any sort of agreements can be processed very securely and easily. It was such a relief to adopt DocuSign on our team. We're able to, I think at this point, we're close to 600 forms completed. So that's definitely a lot of paper that is off of my desk, which I'm very grateful for. So that is how our team currently uses DocuSign. I think Jacob is going to go into how his team uses it next. Thanks, Liz. So my name is Jacob Cheng. I am one of the members of the legal team here at TechSoup Global, and TechSoup partners with civil society around the world to deliver our programs to nonprofits and these civil society organizations along with TechSoup, or we call ourselves the TechSoup Global Network. So when I joined TechSoup in 2011, one of my responsibilities was to manage the contracts between TechSoup and the partners in the TechSoup Global Network. And at that time, there were 15 members in the network. And for the facts, the partner had to initial each page, sign two signature pages, then mail the signed contract to us. And then we would sign on our end and mail the fully signed contract back to them. And so getting the paper copies to some of our partners, especially in certain continents, could be quite a logistical challenge. So today, fast forward to today, we have over 60 partners in the TechSoup Global Network. We operate in almost every country in the world. So I am very thankful for DocuSign. I think as our programs have expanded, so have the number of signatures required and DocuSign allows us to really focus our resources on more substantive tasks rather than tracking down contracts that get lost in the mail. Next slide, please. So just want to give you an idea of some of our other contracting partners. One of TechSoup's main programs is the Tech Marketplace for nonprofits. In that marketplace, we have over 100 tech companies, including DocuSign, offering donated and discount products. In addition, TechSoup also offers a backend validation service to companies that want to offer products on their own site. So they need to determine if nonprofits are legitimate charitable organizations, especially outside the US. So we offer a service. There's like 100 plus companies in that service as well. And finally, TechSoup works with contractors, consultants, vendors, and volunteers. Liz mentioned some of those, and sorry, I didn't spend time counting, but I think she said over 600 forms signed. So probably around that, around there. All of these contracts are powered by DocuSign now.  And DocuSign has made our contract signing process so much easier, and it allows our legal team to remain small, even while TechSoup expands the scope of its programs. And that translates into more funding and resources for our mission of providing technology access for nonprofits worldwide. So personally, just want to say thank you to everyone at DocuSign for making my job easier, but also for supporting nonprofits worldwide. I echo that, Jacob, because I've signed so many documents that during my life each, I didn't have to get in my car and drive anywhere and sign something or wait at an office to somebody to come out for me to sign. So DocuSign has definitely made a lot of people's lives easier. So I'm going to go to the Q&A section. I know there are a lot of questions in the chat room. Please go to the Q&A section and type of form lots of compliments here. A lot of people saying that they use DocuSign, so that's great. I do want to say that there was one I wanted to highlight. They want to understand the volunteer consulting program. So if Kathy or Erica can answer that question, the volunteer consulting program, can you speak on that? You're on mute if you're speaking. Okay. So Liz, you mentioned the power forms. Can you tell me about the power forms? Because that's new to me. I haven't heard of the power forms. So can you explain how that works? Sure. So basically in DocuSign, you can create a template, and from that template, you can select an option that says create power form. Once you select that option, you are provided with a link, and you can send that link to whoever you like. It doesn't have to be hosted on an intranet, but it certainly is useful for that purpose. So you can send it out to whoever you need to, and it's the same form each time. Great, because that was part of the question somebody asked about the intranet. So that was great. So thank you so much. So Erica and Liz, I know you're typing in the chat room. So I want to go to some of the questions. If you could answer this from Paul, what are the basic fields compared to advanced fields? I need a drop down field. Is this available? Hi, I can speak to that. I won't turn my video on, as I know my internet's not awesome today, but so Paul is just typing you an answer, sending you a link to some of our standard fields and sort of what those are and giving a description. But as I sort of mentioned, those standard fields are things like your signature initials, the date signed, email, company title, text, checkbox, drop down radio. So there's a lot of different options, and I'll send you a link to this user guide that we have. And then second, so advanced fields, it's a little bit hard to explain, but this just sort of kind of allows you to customize your field so you can add a little bit of logic behind your fields, whether that's like inputting data or allows you to specify the signing order. So those sorts of things. And I'll also put a link to a user guide that we have that explains our advanced fields a little bit more in depth, but you can put a little bit of logic behind those fields. And I know they're sorry that there's a question about the volunteer program, and I think I probably cut out during that part of the presentation. But just as a brief overview of that, so this is something that you can sign up for. Again, I'll put the link in the chat box. I put it in once already. But once you've created an account, we can review and approve your application and you'll have access to our database, where we have DocuSign volunteers. So you can refine your search based on the volunteer's location, the languages, any shared interests and hobby, or just their general DocuSign area of expertise. And then once you've found a good match, you can request and schedule a one on one meeting for an hour long consultation where you can just meet with this volunteer and talk through any issues that you have or just get a general account overview. And then at the end of your session, you can submit feedback and you can also follow schedule, follow up meeting if needed. Okay, great. Thank you so much. And Carol in the chat room, and it's very similar to Alice's question here in the Q&A. Can you briefly describe how DocuSign integrates with Google and others? And like I said, it's sort of similar to Alice's question. Can we create Google forms and do the same thing for free? What makes it better? No, these are two different questions. So forgive me. Hold on. Let's answer Carol's question first. DocuSign integrate with Google. Google forms, I'm sure that's what she meant. Erica or Kathy? Yeah, I'm not sure if you can speak to this more, Kathy, but this would be a part of our advanced solution where we have integrations and Google is one of those. So I'm not sure if you have any more details, Kathy. I'm not so much in particular with Google, but like, for example, Flux grants making, you're able to be within Flux's solution and then from there create documents and with a single button you can send it off for signature and it comes back to you and it's stored within Flux. So it routes to all the different signers that need to sign it. It's kind of same thing for Salesforce. These are just all the integrated solutions where you don't have to leave the other system in order to be able to send out a document. Oh, Arisa, you're muted. Thank you. I believe one of you mentioned that you can create forms and templates in DocuSign. Is that correct? Yes, you can create it within DocuSign and you can also create it within the other systems that we're integrated with as well. Great. I heard something that really surprised me. You can take payments through DocuSign. Yes, we have multiple payment gateways that we are integrated with. So definitely a great feature that's very heavily used with a lot of our non-profit customers. Great. Wow. So does it integrate with your bank or is it PayPal? We have a couple of different payment gateways. Stripe is one of them and Erica, do you know the other ones that we are integrated with as well? Not completely sure but my understanding is there's just that ability to have those fields where it asks for customers' information so that as you're signing you can also insert your credit card information as well. Less familiar with the gateway. That is great though to know because I didn't know that you could do that because I used DocuSign myself so this is great. So I know there are questions about nonprofits with a small budget and that's been answered by a TechSoup team. Is there any part for free that we can use for a discount? Someone asked? So Maria put the link in here. I know we always want to use some free products but I think you they allow when you first sign up for DocuSign, they allow you to use it to use for free. Five documents, is that correct? I believe that's how it was when I signed up. You can use five documents or get five documents signed. Yeah our free account well you can sign as many documents as you'd like but you'll have three lifetime sends. Okay this is a great question and you know it may sound common sense to someone but this is a great question. Can I implement DocuSign on my own or do we need a DocuSign consultant? This is from camera. You can absolutely implement DocuSign on your own. We just offer these you know volunteer programs and support in case you're having any issues, roadblocks. As I mentioned in the presentation sometimes it just can be a little difficult to get up and running but you definitely can just poke around in the product yourself and self-serve. Okay we want to know are there any links to how-to videos? She thought we were taught more about a how-to video because she already has DocuSign. Yeah absolutely I have some links that I can drop in the chat. We also have some webinar series one called DocuSign 101 that you can sign up for so I can drop some resources in so that you can definitely check out our videos on how to send and sign and do some of these actual action items. Great thank you so much and I'm sure you know the nonprofits here are probably curious about signing up volunteers and you know doing things like that so this will this will be great if you share the links and all the links that we share I will share them in the email remind you that this is being recorded and in about 48 hours you'll get the recording with the links to all the posts that we're posting here in the chat room. Thank you Maria for the DocuSign 101 webinar so there it is you can sign up for that great thank you so much. So are there any other questions to our panelists? Feel free to type them in the Q&A section I have a question then okay great I have a question so DocuSign how long has DocuSign been around because I know I've probably been using just for a couple years it's been around more than five years is that right I want to ask in the Q&A in the in the chat room how many of you already use DocuSign put a number one in the chat room if you already use DocuSign put a number one in the chat room Renee die and she's way in South Africa that in great great Arnold dense great hi Zeta great this is fantastic so a lot of you are already using DocuSign this is great and love to actually hear from some of our attendees what kind of use cases you're utilizing us for that's a good one yeah let us know in the chat room how are you using DocuSign Ingrid said can an organization with less than one million dollar budget sign up for advanced solution we're interested in integrating with Google that might be an Aaron question and Zeta said she's using DocuSign or legal documents oh thank you for joining us Shayna she's answering that question Cynthia said she's using human resources and home buyer services great so far we've used DocuSign to sign

Megan thank you for posting that link DocuSign University I did not know we're in all kinds of new things today Ingrid says she's using it to find new contracts and facilities this is great mostly grant agreements oh Renee very good very important to get those grant agreements very good and Margaret said homeowners will sign contracts for our nonprofit to repair and paint their houses oh that is fantastic who would have thought that is wonderful Kasia we're launching a scholarship fund soon we're looking to utilize DocuSign for the recipients to sign agreements very good thank you Barbara DocuSign was founded 2003 wow and it's 2021 and I just started using it oh I've been behind right so that lets you know how long technology has been around and some of us are still just finding out about it so this is this is you know we're in the technology world we're always going to be using the internet it's something that everybody in the world uses now because all of us have our cell phones so DocuSign thank you for allowing us to do this seamlessly by signing documents great thank you all for putting links in the documents and excuse me in the chat room see if documents are stuck in my head now okay then in the chat room he says hi can a single generic DocuSign email account be shared by multiple staff i.e a HR company used by several HR staff for handling all electronic forms for licensing can distances or doc or organizations use standard license or should they only use a pro or advance great I'm Sean Chanti is answering that question in the chat room but I wanted to see but I'm going to go back to Seagull Seagull's question he said is there an additional charge for implementation support service after the first hour and Shana I'm sorry I've been calling you Sean I apologize for the document impact for engagements are typically up to three hours total and you can be a combination of implementation or other product support so that's the answer to that for those of you who may have missed that in the chat room and Egor asked is it an annual license per user that is a great question is it an annual license per user I think probably both the TechSoup team and DocuSign can answer that yes so these are annual licenses um Kathy is typing an answer so I'm sure you'll see that pop up soon but yes an annual licenses for both our standard and business pro products okay Cynthia what is no can you have individual folders with passwords or something like that I'm not sure individual folders maybe maybe for the the signees is that what you meant Cynthia when you have like different clients and they sign documents let us know in the chat room if that's what you meant that would be great there are some privacy features that you can add to accounts um this sometimes does require a bit more of an advanced solution though so that's something that would probably be an advanced solution feature okay she said for HR so maybe Liz can answer how how do you manage when you have signatures for different new hires or something like that Liz definitely use the we do have folders in our DocuSign account we have different templates that we host to each like we might host onboarding documents one or contractor files in another additionally once you have completed a form you can move it to a folder and keep track of things that way so if I have a folder for like employee change forms I can click into that and anything that's been tagged into that folder will show up there but because it's just me and and my team using the account we don't have passwords on our folders okay great um and great how many users is one license good for I think anybody can answer this question anybody from TechSoup or DocuSign I think everybody's on mute it looks like Kathy's typing an answer in the chat she's typing one for how many users per license and then the second question was how many users is one license good for it let me go back to this question I want to make sure everybody gets this great and feel free to continue typing your questions in the chat room this is being recorded I want to remind you you'll get this within 48 hours lots of good questions here lots of comments so I know you want to take some of this feedback to your board of directors when Sego asks for how many users advanced solution is the annual license based on the number of transactions okay Emma says last pass might be good for storing passwords fingers some advice to everyone Nima says I'm sorry I'm pronouncing your name wrong Nia can the host of this account turn turn on the closed caption transcript feature oh I thought it was already turned on yes we'll assign it to you absolutely okay I'm gonna go back to the Q&A if we have five employees will we pay the $99 five per user for the pro for the business pro I'm feel free to answer these questions out loud as well for the sake of time anyone can jump in and answer that question Hey Ritha I can answer Eggers questions regarding how many users for advanced solutions so the way that advanced solutions works is it's based on the number of transactions that are needed so it's customizable which means you get the pool of transactions and it can be divided amongst however many users you'd like so if you have two employees that are volunteers that need to use it versus like 20 it doesn't matter to us it's just the pool of transactions so that is one of the big benefits of the advanced solutions great thank you so much great I can speak to standard and business pro as well so our standard and business pro plans do allow for multiple users on one account but you will the the discount is only applicable for one user so if you do want more users you will have to pay for that as well and then you can I know there was a question about using a generic like HR email that is something that is possible but it is a little difficult when signing because it will be linked to like one name or one person's name that is on the account so if you're sending out something for signature it will come from that HR email but if you are signing something then it is just kind of that generic whatever is linked to your account so if you do have certain people within your org that need to sign things separately then you'll you will need multiple users on that account so I know that's a little confusing but let me know if you have any follow-up questions great thank you so much okay there are any other questions if not then we'll give you your time back as we say here at TechSoup I want to thank everybody for being here I want to thank everybody in the background Shayna Maria and Erin thank you to our panelists today and also Barbara in the background Kathy Erica and Jacob and Liz let us know as you're checking out we're going to put a link to the chat excuse me to the survey let us know one takeaway that you got today lots of thank yous please yes thank you to our hosts thank you to our hosts our panelists and the people in the background let us know one takeaway one thing you learned today I know that I learned that you can take payments now that was great this will be available yes we will we'll send everything to you via email thank you we're going to put the survey please fill in our survey another question coming in from Paul as you're saying your thank yous how many trans actors are included in the standard account go for you to answer that live thank you so much everybody so as far as usage for annual plans we do have for standard and business pro those annual plans include an allowance of up to 100 envelopes per year so that's will be your allowance and you're not tied to any monthly restrictions great thank you so much Edgar said I learned about licensing detail and how the volunteer to program and how to set up DocuSign great the seat of life is amazing how this program has made everything easy yes I agree I agree thank you please explain what an envelope is um Liz if you could do that or someone else who knows about the envelopes there's a question about envelopes earlier um take that one um so basically you could think about envelope or a transaction as like a FedEx envelope you can put as many documents as you want into it as many signatures that need to sign that document through the process flow um once you hit send that's considered one transaction or one envelope used okay so when you sign up for the free or the trial version and you get free five free documents that's one envelope is that right am I saying it right correct so it's five five envelopes yes okay awesome awesome so is there a minimum number of transactions this is from Ingrid no minimum um actually I would say for the advanced solution the minimum would be at least 500 trans transactions okay awesome this has been great awesome so there's a direct link here in the chat room for the DocuSign impact core for three hours of pro bono product support yes somebody was asking for something free earlier there you go please copy that link and we'll also share the link when we send out the emails thank you so much um Ingrid said she was asking good Kathy you're answering that yes please fill out the survey and thank you so much um for joining us again thank our panelists for being here today and I'm going to let you go have your time back always tell all of our nonprofits as you're busy taking care of everybody else make sure you take time time to take care of yourself thank you for being here well that's today everybody bye bye


my name is Charlotte Valdez and I am a fourth grade science and social studies teacher in Arizona. So today is Friday the 6th of January and I am just here in my classroom and today I'm going to be just prepping for the first week back of school. I have a couple of things that I need to prep for so I think the first thing I'm going to do today is make a to-do list and then I'll kind of just talk about what those things are what I'm planning on doing and then we'll get started. So if you guys are excited for this video give it a thumbs up grab a snack and let's get to it. I always kick myself when I forget to erase the board and then leave it for a few weeks because it's so hard to get off and that is just taking down the Christmas decorations and falder decorations so I have a lot of like leaves up and around and then I have some Christmas stuff out like the tree and stuff like that so I need to take all of that down first. I probably should have put that at the top of my list but it's fine. I do have a hallway kindness tree that I'm going to be making. It's one of the projects that I decided to do as a bulletin board and it should take me through like the rest of the year maybe through March. I am going to be getting a not getting but I have a student teacher starting with me on Monday and so I want to kind of prepare a space in the room for her where she can like put her things down she can sit she can kind of make herself at home she can kind of make it her own little space a space for her to work a space for her to just have that's hers because I know I really appreciated that when I was a student teacher and then I also need to move the tables and stools to their next new spots and then organize everything so this is the current state of my room this is left over from the last day before break all of the tables are moved kind of in this like I don't know weird formation and they're obviously not going to stay that way so I do need to move them and then I want to organize as much as possible just kind of like clean everything like move things around just get everything to a state where when the kids come back in everything is done put back where it goes that way there's no confusions no questions and I don't need to worry about anything like that so I think what we're going to start with is just taking down Christmas and fall putting those back in the boxes that they came in and then we'll go from there all right you guys so some time has passed and I have been a very busy bee um wanted to show you guys what I have accomplished so I have moved all of the tables back to where they go and they're kind of messy right now because I'm trying to like do a little bit of organization what I did do is I created a little sweet corner for my student teacher and so it's just this little corner right here I moved my Chromebook cart over here because I hated that it was right by the door and like when the kids came in they were like getting Chromebooks out people were trying to come inside like it was just kind of a hot mess express so I moved it back here I moved my um fridge and this thing out of my little pouch here because I wanted to free up this table for Jessica my student teacher so I'm kind of just shifting some things around like my like personal teacher tools things that I like need to keep back here um and then I'm also transitioning this little table into like a chill out spot um this is where cash kind of sits and plays in the morning so this is the perfect place for a child who might need like a break from the group or who needs a quiet space to work without being disturbed I think this is a great spot it ended up being where some kids were kind of gravitating to anyways at the end of the year last year not like the school year but like the physical year they were starting to gravitate over there anyway so I thought it would be a great place for them to just kind of relax chill out and then I also have a student aid who comes in at the end of my day so they can work there as well so there's just one more empty space for people to get stuff done um so now what I'm going to do is just continue cleaning and then I'm going to take a break at 12 30 eat lunch and then my goal is to start on my bulletin board out in the hallway after I eat lunch because that's probably going to take me some time um and I'm just like finding my library books all over the room anyway that's what I'm working on I'm gonna try and finish organizing by 12 30 because that's my lunch so I'm hoping I can get all of this kind of like hot mess express sorted out before then we'll okay lunch has been eaten copies have been picked up and brought upstairs a couple of other little projects have been done the next project I'm going to try and do is my hallway bulletin board I'm going to put a little picture right here of the inspiration that I got so I printed out all of these little hearts I'm going to cut them out and give each child one of them there will be 90 ish hearts and so I've never made a tree like this actually that's not true I think I've made like one before and so I'm gonna kind of just show you guys what I'm thinking how I'm gonna make it and if it turns out like garbage then I'll try again um I've looked at lots of pictures of them online and I feel like I have a good idea of how I'm gonna do this so I'm gonna give it a go and if you are a pro bulletin board tree maker please don't judge me I think it turned out pretty good I mean you know it's gonna be covered in little hearts and it's gonna be super cute I do need to fix the border on this board the lovely children like to pull the borders off so I do need to fix that so I'm gonna do that real quick and then um the hearts are gonna be all on the branches here and here and then they're gonna like bloom up and above and then I think up across the top I'm gonna put the words kindness makes us bloom um so we'll figure that out and then that'll be my bulletin board for the next two months okay so I thought of a really cool idea that I'm gonna give a try this first week back um so I went through my classroom library and I pulled out all of my informational texts like pretty much anything I could find that was like either a scientific topic or history anything I could find that was informational what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put them on each table so I put five books at each table and they totally vary in themes so like this table has wonders of the world finding the titanic underground penguins swim but don't get wet and then I also have Henry's freedom box and I think I put an extra one on here an extraordinary life so each of the tables has like a pile of informational texts that I'm gonna start using as a warm-up tool in the past I've had my students working on boom cards as a warm-up and I just find that having the kids warming up on the computer just allows for more like they're just messing around they're not on the websites they're supposed to be on they're talking they're just not doing what I want them to do so I'm gonna try out this new warm-up routine and see how it goes if I like it I'll keep going with it and what I'll do is I'll start checking out books from the school library and putting them on the tables and I can even rotate the books so like whatever books are on this table this week I'll rotate them to that table so that like that'll take me like six weeks that's almost the whole quarter by the time I rotate all of the books from table to table so I'm gonna try this out and see how it goes I don't even care like because this is great for my sped kids because they can just look at pictures you know they can try to read but if not they can just look at pictures you know I think it's gonna be great so wish me luck fingers crossed okay um I've gone around and I've organized everything as pretty organized as I can be I've gone through my first couple of days of lesson plans to make sure I have everything prepped and ready to go the only thing I have left to do is clean up my front desk area I'm actually taking the tablecloth home to wash it and then I need to cut these out these are just the words that go on the bulletin board which I don't have to do right now I could totally have like a student aid do it because we're going to be working on this project throughout the week I'm going to cut these out so that their individual sizes the kids will cut them out individually and then I'm done and I'm ready for the first week back to school I did pull a couple of my Martin Luther King books out as well because next Monday is Martin Luther King day so I have Martin's big words these are the only two Martin Luther King books and then happy birthday Martin Luther King what I might do with those is just throw in a quick read aloud or like if a kid's done early they can go and read one of those I also have my what should Danny do and my what should Darla do books out so if I have a kiddo that's maybe not making the right choices or they're struggling I might say hey go grab the Danny book go sit in the hallway and read for 10 minutes or like like again if they're done early and they have nothing else to do they can read one of those so anyway I'm just kind of like putting stuff away up here kind of moved everything that was on this table onto this table so I could like wipe it and clean it and so now I'm just kind of moving things back and forth um because I need to organize my teaching area get it situated and then I'm pretty much done for the day all right you guys so it is now 3 30 um I'm gonna run downstairs to grab a couple of other printed things that I need put them in my mailbox and then I am out of here so I think we're ready we're ready for Monday um I'm gonna give you guys a quick pan the classroom and then I'm gonna wave goodbye and I will see you guys on Monday


another big move just happened in the NBA. Boston Celtics fans rejoice because you just landed a stud in Malcolm Brogdon without having to give up much. All you had to give up was Daniel Tice, Aaron Niesmith in a first round pick. So your core stays intact and you add a stud like Brogdon. And with that move the Celtics are now the odds on favorite to win the NBA championship next season at plus 500. Now I know we got to see what happens with KD. You know he might end up on one of these two teams but for right now are the Celtics your favorite to win the NBA title? Let us know.


What do you know about matcha? Here's a simple explanation Meet Emma. She's tasting matcha flavored ice cream for the first time and loves it But what is matcha? Emma knows it's a kind of tea, but what makes it different than regular black tea? Hiddle is a tea expert Matcha is a Japanese tea Freshly plucked leaves are steamed and then carefully dried. The dried leaves are then ground into a very fine powder Hand-ground with stone mills for best quality matcha. To drink matcha add hot water to the powdered tea and whisk well The leaves come from the same tea plant Camellia sinensis as Western black teas, but the way they are processed and the final flavor are completely different Matcha is a way of drinking tea that came from China to Japan in the 13th century and Then evolved into a uniquely Japanese style The appeal of matcha is the way it offers all the nutritional benefits found in tea As well as a host of amino acids vitamins and minerals matcha is also loaded with catechin an Antioxidant said to have many health and beauty benefits Many people drink matcha because it helps them relax This is due to the presence of large amounts of the amino acid theonite Hearing that matcha contributes to beauty Emma's interest deepens Matcha is very aromatic and slightly bitter Making it a perfect complement to anything sweet, but there's more to matcha's appeal than flavor and nutrition In the 16th century a tea master named Rikyu took Japan's tea culture to another level by developing the tea ceremony Into what we now call Sado or way of tea Sado is about far more than just serving good tea It covers everything from architecture to design and selection of utensils to formal rules for entertaining guests Let's watch a modern tea master making matcha in the tea ceremony First she places the matcha into a tea bowl Then she adds boiling water and uses a bamboo whisk called a chasen to mix in the tea powder When the liquid becomes a creamy froth, the tea is ready Both the person making the tea and the person drinking it have set roles to play and rules to follow This glimpse of the way of tea deepens Emma's interest but making matcha at home that seems too difficult Don't worry says Hiddle matcha is easy to get many stores sell it or you can buy online And you don't need special bowls or implements drink it from a mug mix the tea with a kitchen whisk or even a spoon It's all okay Emma has bought her first packet of matcha. She makes matcha au lait With a cookie to eat matcha very aromatic and slightly bitter sets off the sweetness of the cookie creating a taste sensation Unlike anything Emma's experienced Emma soon takes it to the next level holding a tea ceremony for her family The world of matcha is deep and rewarding. Why not explore it for yourself?
