This is why the Narcissist is about to hoover you, when the Narcissist first targeted you, they idealized you, they put you on a pedestal and in that moment you were perfect, but then they started to feel insecure, because of your success or achievements, or because you began to confront them on their faults and mistakes, or because you threatened to expose them, which triggered the Narcissist, it caused a Narcissist to rage and it caused them to devalue you, when they began to insult you and put you down, they domesticated you, they enslaved you, where you were running on this endless hamster wheel trying to please this unpleasable person, without realizing that they have these insatiable desires that can never be fulfilled, they can't be satisfied, but at some point you began to realize your power and realize that in fact they cannot satisfy you, they can only manipulate and deceive you, they can only give you an illusion and a false character, which for a certain amount of time you were susceptible to, you were under their spell, they pulled the wool over your eyes, until you began to wake up and when you did that, it triggered the Narcissist to reflect on their true self and they began to feel worthless and insignificant, but the problem is that they can't self reflect on long periods of time, they can't be vulnerable or admit their faults or mistakes, they have to be what they deem to be perfect, which means that they can never be genuine or real, but of course they don't want anyone to know this, so once you catch on you're as good as dead to them, you become a lost cause and by that point they will usually want nothing to do with you, unless they think that they can get you back to their spell again, if they think you will give them another chance and you will just forget about everything they did to you, because this is typically what Narcissists will assume, when they come back they're not thinking about everything they did to you, they will often come back expecting you to take the blame or they will come back like nothing happened, because they don't take accountability for their actions, which means that they never change or grow, they stay the same way until they die, which means that even if you do take them back, they will do the very same things again that originally hurt you, because that's all they can do, and they need to do that to get supply, they can't be vulnerable or connect to you emotionally, because of their fragile ego, they need to feel superior to you, they have a black and white mentality, where people are either all good or all bad, deep down they feel completely worthless, so at some point they have to project this onto you, so that they can feel normal, even if you do take them back, they are never going to change and it's not going to be good for you, this video is meant to educate you and prevent you from experiencing further trauma and abuse, with that being said here are five reasons why the narcissist is about to hoove you, one to take away your power, when you put the final nail in the coffin of your relationship with the narcissist and you've decided that you've had enough, the narcissist will feel triggered, because they're envious and jealous, they're very insecure, they can't deal with rejection or abandonment, they fear being exposed and they also worry that you might move on and find someone new, so they will try to come back to take control and also to disempower you, to sabotage the success that you've achieved since they were gone, there are two types of people in this world, people who build and people who destroy and narcissists destroy, they come around you to take from you, they don't have anything of value to bring to you, which is why if you look back at your relationship with the narcissist, you will remember that you are the one who did all of the work, maybe you paid for everything, you cooked their dinner, you cleaned their clothes, you took them on trips, but they never did anything for you, they expected you to see it as a privilege just to even be around them because they're very arrogant and entitled and they're completely delusional about their worth, they had nothing of value to bring to you and yet they thought they were the best thing since life's bred and this is the false narrative and reality that they have to maintain so that they can feel comfortable and because they struggled to detach from their victims, your belief still has power over their reality, even after you've moved on especially when you start to heal and recover from the abuse because that makes them question themselves, it tells everyone that if you were the problem, how could you move on and do better without them, it destroys their false narrative about you and it makes them look foolish so they come back to eliminate the threat that you have become to their false character and their false reality, tension and validation, narcissists have a fragile ego, they base their self-worth on the judgment and acceptance of other people and tend to have an unstable sense of self as a result, they don't know who they are, they're just whoever they think people want them to be and if they try to move on but they struggle to find a potent source of supply, they will be defensive and prone to critique, they need a primary supply to provide them with a source of security, stability and comfort to make them feel like they exist so they will come back and attempt to gain your attention and validation because they need you to validate the illusions of their false character to share this fantasy that they've created inside their heads of them being omnipotent and all powerful so that is why they will often come back because you're just a tool when appliance to them, you make them feel better about themselves but it's always at your expense because you're the victim of their manipulation and deception, you have to pretend like they're perfect and they can't do anything wrong, you can't bring up anything that they've done to you or the illusion falls apart and then they will discourage you, three failed new supply, when a narcissist is seeking new supply they can be very gullible, anyone can sell them a dream, they always think the grass is greener on the other side and they're always looking for the next shiny new toy so they will often fall into the arms of a master manipulator or another narcissist, someone who is just as crazy and delusional as they are or they may just find someone who is not as great as they initially thought they were, they may have made a bad decision because they do have poor judgment, they lack logical thinking, they tend to act on their emotional impulses and they want things to move fast before their supply has the chance to figure them out, for these reasons they often make a lot of mistakes and they can end up in situations that are worse than when they were with you, when this happens they may often re-idealize you and try to come back to you but it's not because they love you or miss you, they just miss their supply, life was a lot easier when they were with you, you caved into their demands, you did things that most people would not do, when they said jump you said how high and they know that it would be difficult for them to find something like that again because a lot of people are all about themselves or they just haven't got the time so they want to come back to where things were predictable, where they felt comfortable and secure but it's not because they care about you, you're just an object of them, a tool, someone who regulates their emotions, they lack empathy so they can't connect to you or be vulnerable, they can only elevate themselves at your expense and leave you feeling a lot worse than before you met them, they want something, if you loaned the narcissist a lot of money you probably wouldn't hear from them for a while and the bigger the loan the longer amount of time they beat away from you, in some cases you may never hear from them again but if they do decide to come back it's only because they want something, they use us which is why everything is always one-sided, they just take and never think to give back to you because they're mean and selfish, they're manipulative and deceptive and most of them don't even have the means so all they can do is trick and fool you, which will often leave you feeling sad and depleted but it's due to their childhood traumas and how they were raised, their parents likely ignored their needs when they were growing up or maybe they were emotionally or physically abused so of course they would become users and only come to you when they want something, when people didn't get their needs met, that makes them want to turn the tables on you when they get older, people who had a healthier upbringing maybe more empathic and they will feel bad or shameful if they can't or don't reciprocate something back to you but narcissists, no you will not experience that from them because they have a void that can never be filled so no matter what you do for them it will never be enough, they will always feel ungrateful and dissatisfied, five they're studying you, narcissists are always on the hunt for supply and they're always managing risks or threats to the illusion of their false character because they're very paranoid and afraid of being exposed for the frauds that they are so they will come back to learn your behavior and to gather more dirt, to look for or expose information about you so that they smear your name to isolate and control you and cut off any other sources of influence or support because this is all a threat to their false image, they're at risk of being exposed, it's a threat to their supply and nothing is more important to them than their supply, without it they would feel like they don't even exist, it feeds their ego, it makes them feel powerful and important and it sustains their false sense of self so if they fear that you might threaten to expose them they will come back to control the square it will destroy you thank you for watching if you

Welcome to our session at the week of Vogue Tech. We're so excited to see so many of you here. I'm Marin Debole, the CEO of the Association for Learning Technology. And I have a wonderful co-presenter here today. Hello. Hi, Marin. Thanks. My name's Emma Proctor-Leg. I'm the project manager on the Amplifier for your project working for Alt. Excellent. Thank you for saying hello, Emma, and hello to everybody who's joining us here. I'm really excited that we are first up on Monday, the first day of this week's event. And there is a really big program that we're part of as well. So thank you all for making time to joining us in this session. There is a lot to look forward to. Is there a particular session, Emma, that you're looking forward to during the week of Vogue Tech? Absolutely. So I'm really keen to go along to tomorrow's session on the knowledge shared where we've got one of the sessions being run by Lynn, who's been doing a piece of work for us. Fantastic, yeah. I'm looking forward to that as well. Also on Thursday, I'm looking forward to the Vogue Tech Showcase. This is the first time that I'm gonna be able to see a lot of the projects in person. So I'm really excited about that. But I have to say, I'm also quite excited about what we're sharing today, because today we're celebrating a launch of new research. So if you haven't come across AmplifyFE before, don't worry, we are going to tell you all about it and give you a full introduction in the next half hour. And after that, we're going to invite you to join us for a conversation on Twitter with the hashtag AmplifyFE. So at the end of the session, we'll tell you how to join in the conversation. And hopefully we can have a really good dialogue about the new research. But now onto our big launch. And this is the first presentation, the first preview of findings from the 2022 AmplifyFE Communities of Practice Sector Audit Report. And our focus for this particular part of the report is to look at communities of practice across the sector and think what's changed in FE and Vogue Tech. Now AmplifyFE is in partnership with U of 5 Architect Trust and the Association for Learning Technology. We are the leading professional body for learning technology in the UK and we represent three and a half thousand members from across different sectors, including FE and vocational education. AmplifyFE is a network of networks and we launched in October, 2020 and already connect over 1800 professionals. We work to really connect up the dots between different communities of practice, different interest groups to try and provide stronger networking for everyone in the community, professionals, providers and policymakers to share knowledge and collaborate. And our sector audit is a key part of the work that we do. And each year, we take a snapshot of what professional practice looks like across the sector. And I know, Emma, in a minute, we'll come to you and I know you'll do a deeper dive. But before we dive right into this year's data, I just wanted to highlight that as well as taking a general snapshot of the sector, which is our third one now, starting to provide some nice more longitudinal data, we're also this year having a specific focus on communities that promote inclusion, equality and diversity in the sector. We've looked at specific communities that support research and we've also looked at communities that have a particular subject focus. So today is the first day where we're launching the report and showing you a preview of all the key findings. But subsequently, there'll be a lot more resources coming out, helping you to explore these different aspects of the sector and what's happening in different communities of practice. But now, Emma, I'm gonna stop talking, I'm gonna hand over to you so you can dive in more to our findings. Thank you. So the first thing to tell you is that really that the audit has grown massively this year. So we've added in 146 communities, which is a huge number, far eclipsing what we started with. And that makes up groups that are from JISC and BEERA. We've pulled in all of the ALT special interest groups. So lots of individual tiny communities of practice as well. So all sorts are represented within this dataset. And as we've experienced previously, not only do we add some, but we remove ones that have disappeared and they've disappeared for various reasons. So again, some of those are JISC groups, some from ETF in relation to their SET groups. And then again, communities that are no longer being funded perhaps and therefore we're removing that data so that everything is giving you a clear up-to-date picture of what's happening within the sector. So I'm really pleased to say that there's actually 264 communities of practice within the audit. And you can see that that's more than 100% increase over the two years. So we're really excited by how great a number we're reaching in terms of capturing and demonstrating what the sector is made up of. I think it's fascinating that this is the first time really across FE and vocational education that we're starting to get a picture not only of what communities are out there, but also how they're changing over time. And fantastic to see that increase which really helps provide a more complete picture of professional practice and communities of practice. As we mentioned, ALT is an independent professional body and an independent charity. So we're very excited and grateful that UFI are supporting this research and working in partnership with us to really provide independent reports for the sector where we can chart from our perspective and for our members in the wider community how things are changing. There are a couple of key findings, reports coming out as well. So hopefully you'll be able to dive in inspired by today's highlights. Now, I'm not talking of highlights and I know we've had a look at different aspects of how the communities are active but where is this practice being shared? What did we actually audit? So we looked across a lot of social media platforms and I can report that as we found out previously that Twitter remains the most popular platform. So there are 109 Twitter handles that we've reviewed and that communities are continuing to expand into different social media platforms. So Instagram, for instance, has increased in numbers. We found that there's a massive increase in terms of mailing list use. We've got growth on the Facebook pages and groups as well. So closed groups on Facebook, LinkedIn is popular as well and this year for the first time we've had a group that is using WhatsApp as their main platform which I find really interesting in terms of whether people are choosing to use kind of more personalised platforms or whether they're going for something like Slack or TikTok which gives you a completely different audience. And again, for the first time this year we found communities that have grown out specifically out of Instagram which again I find a really interesting way of people sharing. So it's not just kind of your traditional platforms and both Teams and Zoom are popular because of continued need to do online meetings and actually that those aren't going away because it remains valuable to be able to connect with people easily. Absolutely. And that's one of the things we saw in 2020 in the first order that we did is that the use of Zoom and Teams as platforms it's very strongly linked I think to the emergency response and it's interesting how much these are now store words of kind of communities of practice online but talking of things that aren't changing and things that are remaining popular. I know that we have some more maybe traditional forms of technology and communication that are continuing to be very popular. Absolutely. So mailing lists and email newsletters are not going away. They're very kind of easy ways for people to share information with a wide group of people. And within this we looked at not just mailing lists but also those that are using just mail lists. So we found that they have continued to increase as well. And so we've got a total of 34 now using just mail lists. The interesting thing around it though is that actually there's subscriber numbers to some of those just mailing lists are reducing. So although it is a popular platform that people are using, the numbers don't remain and obviously that I think reflects how people are managing and dealing with a digital communication and if you're suffering from overload in your inbox then you can completely understand why mailing lists might be the first thing that you remove. Right. That's definitely something that we can all identify with overload on inboxes and notifications. But as you say, there's also other tools, social media tools that are being used for communities of practice and for CPD. What did we learn about Facebook communities in this year's order? So again, we found that there's more groups using Facebook groups. So opposed to just a Facebook page where you might be sharing sort of information out. So most of those are kind of closed groups. And although we've removed four of the original ones from the audit, so three of those were run by set and one was an AP Connect group. The removal of those relates to the kind of funding certainly for the AP Connect group. But we've seen that there's kind of massive growth in terms of the numbers using that platform. And actually some of the groups are very large but also we have a very small one. So the TeachHort UK group only has 10 members whereas the Microsoft education group is got 11,217. So massively different and showing the two sides really of the audit data in terms of a very big group run by an organisation and a very small group run by a group of practitioners who are teaching horticulture and other education. I'm always fascinated by how changes in communities of practice reflect changes in sector funding. So last year obviously we saw big departures of sort of really large communities and groups as business models were changing with the TES groups being all closed down and their forums closing. This year we've seen some of the AP Connect group and some of the SET groups to be closing. So it is a real reminder how much turmoil there is in the sector and how much things are changing for practitioners. And that is really one of the questions we're going to put to you later in our Twitter chat when you joined the conversation. So we're gonna want to discuss and learn more from you here in the audience. What are the motivators and barriers for you to connect with and engage with different communities of practice? And what really do you look for in a community of practice? Hopefully we can help find right ways to connect for you if you haven't already started to. So there's help at hand if you don't know where to start at all. But I want to dive a little bit deeper into how the conversation is growing. So Emma, tell us a little bit about the amplify FE hashtag. So it's grown massively in popularity over the last year or so. So in total, since October 2020, we've had 25,893 treats using that hashtag which is just, you know, to think of that from where we started is just amazing. And the hashtag is now being used across Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram. And during the audit, we took a snapshot of how the hashtag was being used over a period of time in relation to other hashtags as well. So we know that hashtags that are using amplify FE as well as joy FE, UK FE chat, ed tech, teacher training, CPD community. So all things that we want to be associated with our hashtag has actually been used in those conversations. So it's really exciting to see that growth. Yeah, absolutely. I will remember, you know, when the hashtag first started to exist. And I wanted to zoom in on this image because that's one of the prints of visualization of the conversation. And if you head over to the amplify FE website, you can yourself explore this visual in an interactive simulation and see how the conversation is developing. But what I think is particularly fascinating and why this graph is so dense with so many user handles and so many connections, particularly if you focus in the center where there's sort of just gray lines intersecting. It is because it isn't a broadcast hashtag. It's not where people are just following messages or information. It's really where a whole conversation has been evolving for over two years now. And I don't know, but when I look at that, I can kind of see a wonderful messy, wibbly, wobbly ball of connections and conversation happening. What do you think? Absolutely. I just think it really captures how a community of practice in a network really works, that there are some big key players in there and they're having conversations and connecting with all of these other handles. So it really is just fascinating. And if you get two minutes to just go and have a look, you'll be able to kind of dig into that data and see how it's growing and expanding. Yeah, absolutely. So talking a little bit more about how the network is growing, I know that we do audit a large number of different hashtags and conversations and I'm sure there are many people in the audience today who really don't know where to start, who may be not that familiar with Twitter or just don't know where the conversation is happening that they're looking for. So Emma, what kind of can you offer as a waypoint what are kind of good hashtags to start the conversation with and maybe to check out when you're completely new? So I think when you're starting out, you just want to connect with different practitioners. So UK FE Chat is always a really good starting point in terms of it's a Twitter chat run once a week. So it's a very easy way in and you can just observe that. Obviously using our hashtag will get you connected with different people. If you've got an interest in research, then have a look at the FE Research Meet hashtag. If you're joining us from higher education, then you may want to have a look at the LTHE Chat, exploring different subjects. So if you are an English professional or a math professional, then English FE, Maths FE, they're always good options. So the hashtags that we've got on the screen in front of us at the moment are basically ones that have been added to our map. And I would encourage you that if you get an opportunity, if there's something that you think we should be aware of that hasn't been added yet, then add your hashtag to the map because it's forever growing and expanding. And yeah, just come and explore some of the hashtags that have been shared because they are being shared by communities that want to connect with other practitioners. So do explore that further. Fantastic. And yeah, that's one of the things, I guess, we ought to mention as well. There is opportunities to add yourself to the map. So as you can see, our collection is growing and we try and signpost different conversations for different subject areas and for areas of interest. But if there's something we're missing or maybe you have a network or community that you've discovered or you've started, do let us know and we can add you to the map, literally. We want to make sure that the findings from our communities of practice sector-ordered are useful to you. They are made for our community and individual practitioners can use our findings to help find support and build personal learning networks. You can find communities of practice on a variety of different platforms as we've just had a look at, including email, newsletters but also Facebook group, LinkedIn groups, all social media groups. And no matter what you're interested in, there should be a community or conversation where you can start, find the resources and join that conversation. If you are a provider and you're looking to either engage with communities of practice in order to explore market research, maybe test, get teachers input or look to just learn from and with teachers and practitioners and trainers, you can connect via our network and join the community space. But you can also use the data from the audit such as this one and our research report and insights reports to help baseline your provision. We're talking to teachers and practitioners and experts across the sector each year and publish our research findings openly for you to use. Data from our audit can also help inform strategy and policy, provides an up-to-date overview of practice as well as the crucial, the gaps in the provision. And some of the changes in funding that we were talking about earlier are causing gaps in provision and they are causing a lot of changes in the sector, which I know many of us are very familiar with. This is a long-established problem, but this audit data gives us an opportunity to track how these changes are affecting practice and how the conversation and how practice is changing. Now, there's more than hashtags and mailing lists. There are also a lot of resources and activities in the Amplify FE community space. And Emma, tell us more about the space and how we can get involved. So, yeah, we would love to get you involved in the community space. So it's a place to share and learn from each other, increasing access to learning technology expertise, digital pedagogy and professional development opportunities. And we'll talk and expand on that in a minute. We champion the use of accessible inclusive learning technology and we're trying to engage with FE groups and communities of practice and researchers. So working really across the whole of the further education and training sector in its widest terms. And we want to amplify the voices of professionals in strategic developments across the sector. It's all about connection. It's not at all about competition. So it really is like come and join with your community of practice and let us help to spread the good work that's going on. Yeah, I think that's a real call to action. And I know that you have more to share, but I just want to emphasize that I think one of the key reasons why we exist and why we do the work that we do is that there is a real lack of connection between different groups, between these little silos of expertise and insight. And with the current pressures that are on everyone in the FE and vocational education sector, we really want to make sure that if you do need help, if you are looking for know-how and expertise, you can go, you know, where to find it and you can connect with the people who can help. So how can we get involved and connect them? So we run lots of different opportunities to get involved, including twice-termly meetings where we run a spotlight on a particular practitioner. So if you want to come and share or talk through an idea with a friendly group of people, then, you know, this is an ideal spot, but equally, if you're a project and you want to come and talk and just get a feel for some feedback from FE practitioners, then, again, it's an opportunity for you to get involved. We offer a blog, so if, you know, presenting and talking on camera is not your thing, then we can do that with you. We do a podcast as well. And if you want to run a webinar, so if you've got 20 minutes of something that you would like to share in terms of what your community is doing or that you want to demonstrate something that you've been using in your own teaching practice or your project and you want to talk about what your project is working on and how it can help people, then that's an opportunity. And as you know that later today, we're going to be doing a Twitter chat, so we're getting involved with these as well. And just to signpost that our next community space, meeting date is the 2nd of December, so if you're available, then we're more than welcome you to attend. Excellent. Well, we hope to see many of you there and I'm really looking forward to what's in store for next year as well. And talking of what's next, mentioned that we have a lot more findings to share with you and obviously in a half an hour and in such a setting, we aren't able to share with you the full data and all the really rich insights that come from the report. This is only the first of a number of resources and data that we're publishing. So do head over to our website to find out more and get the report and also look forward to the next number of resources that we are publishing. But before we say goodbye, we really want to invite you to in about five minutes join our conversation on Twitter. We'd love to hear from you and I'm going to let Emma explain how to join. Yes, so hop on over to Twitter and then search for the Amplifier V hashtag. You'll find that we will be posting regular questions, so they'll be going from between 4.30 through to about 5.30. And yeah, come along, join in, use the hashtag when you put your reply in and be part of the conversation. We really hope that you join us and tell us what your questions are about how communities of practice are developing in FE and vocational education and also share with us your perspective. So come and join us using the hashtag Amplifier V on Twitter. And if you'd like to download this first report from the sector audit and if you'd like to learn more about the resources and research, please head over to amplifierv.alt.ac.uk forward slash audit and explore from there. I'm afraid we're nearly out of time, Emma and I've really enjoyed this session here at the Week of Rock Tech. Any final comments for you? Just to say it's been wonderful to have the opportunity to share this and looking forward to seeing all the other things that are being shared in the Week of Rock Tech too. And see you on Twitter. Thanks for joining us here, Emma. Well, on behalf of everyone at Amplifier V and the Association for Learning Technology, I just wanted to say a big thank you for all for joining us here at the Week of Rock Tech and we look forward to seeing you just in about five minutes here, joining the conversation. So for now, it's goodbye from Emma and goodbye from me. Thank you very much.


Hey, this is Brett and this 2018 Ram 2500 Crew Cab Short Box SLT is stock number 12516Z. We're here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, you're new and used heavy duty truck and ram headquarters. This 2018 Ram 2500 has the 6.7 liter Cummins diesel engine. This truck has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop per the state of Wisconsin inspection process that has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off and this truck is 100% ready to go. We're going to go inside underneath, start it up, take a look under the hood. In this video, blue streak pearl coat is the color and we shoot all of our videos in 1080p 60 frames per second. So if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it is your best way to check out the quality and condition of the vehicle before seeing it in person. And this thing is super clean all the way around. And if you like the video on how we do things here at Summit Auto, in the upper right hand part of the screen is a subscribe button to our YouTube channel, click that and then click the bell notifications and you'll get updates every time we do videos here at Summit Automotive. This one comes with the 18 inch polished aluminum rims and it has Goodyear Wrangler all terrain adventure tires. These are LT 275 70 R18s and they have I'd say probably about 60, 70% of the tread left on them. Frame and underbody is an exceptionally nice clean condition. Front fender is in excellent shape, I didn't see any dents or dings on there. The headlight lenses are crystal clear. Front bumper is in excellent condition as well. In the hood, didn't see any dents or dings on there. Passengers side front fender looks really good too. And the passengers side front rim, no scuffs or scrapes on there. As you go down this side of the truck, take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror like that paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the vehicle, hear the vehicle, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here so that when you do get here there's absolutely no surprises and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. And if this video helps you make that decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video, it was helpful and that Brett sent you. It comes with the nice chrome step bars, back rim is in nice shape as well, and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires. Frame and underbody on this truck is exceptionally clean. It does have rear airbag suspension and that pumps up from the bumper on the other side which I'll show you in a little bit. But frame and underbody, exceptionally clean, has all the remaining factory exhaust so it hasn't been altered in any way. Lower rockers and cab corners all look really good and like I said, those nice chrome step bars look really good as well. As you go down this side of the box, looks really good, no dents, no dings coming around in the back, rear bumpers in great shape, no dents or dings on that and that is where you pump up your rear airbag suspension, that little valve stem right there. Full towing package which includes a receiver hitch, four pin and seven pin wiring and the tailgate is an exceptionally nice condition as well. So this one, this is the first Amazon Basics soft tonneau cover I've ever seen. Looks like it's a nice product, has a nice texture to it, I'm pretty sure it's a roll up one. Anyways, comes with a spring and bed liner, fifth wheel and gooseneck prep package, has the seven pin wiring and you do get the LED bed lighting back here. This is in really nice shape, tailgate shuts nice and solidly and as you go down the driver side just as clean as that passenger side, no dents or dings on the box and for full disclosure this back rim is in excellent shape as well. Driver side doors look really good, does have the heated fold up tail mirrors, they have built in directional signals, they are heated, they fold up like so, they also fold in like that. Inside the SLT package gives you the gray cloth interior, there are no rips or tears on the seats, they're in really nice condition. Does come with a set of factory all weather floor mats, auto headlamps, audio controls on the back of the steering wheel, power windows, power locks, power mirrors and these mirrors do power fold in. I always like showing both sides so that you know that both sides are working correctly. We'll hop inside, take a look at the miles, radio and everything that this truck has to offer. This one has 24,504 miles, you do get the digital speedometer compass outside time and range to empty and you can edit those corners to read whatever you'd like. Instrument cluster is very nice and clean, comes with the leather wrapped steering wheel, cruise controls on the right, bluetooth and information center controls on the left. It does have the audio controls on the back, comes with the six speed automatic transmission with the optional tap shift, 8.4 or 4C radio, AM, FMN, Sirius XM radio capabilities. On here you do have your climate controls right here, you can check out your backup camera and then you can also check out the cargo cam which is a nice feature as well. You also have your different apps, you have projection manager on here where you can project your cell phone to the screen, so while this one doesn't have a nav system from the factory you can project your cell phone and then through Android Auto or Apple CarPlay project your phone up there and if you have Google Maps or Waze or something like that project it right to the screen you can have the nav right there. It's a pretty cool system. We actually did a demo on an 8.4 with Android Auto if you want to check that out it's in the upper right hand part of the screen. Excuse me, turned out four wheel drive, dual climate controls and more tactile climate controls down here. Factory brake controllers, stability control, tow haul and factory exhaust brake. Carpeting and passenger side format are in excellent shape. No rips or tears on the seat and the passenger or the headliner is in excellent shape. Looks really good. You do get map lights up there, power slide and rear window button, home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lane systems and assistant SOS buttons in the rear view mirror. We'll take a quick look at the back seats and then we'll start up the engine and take a look under the hood. Back seats are just as clean as the front seats, no rips or tears back here. It does have latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have. Power sliding rear window. Once again those seats really nice shape. They do fold up. You get extra storage back here under the seats. You get in-floor storage on each side with removable containers for easy cleaning and you get that nice all-weather format that goes over the hump and all the way across. Child safety locks on the back doors and we will start it up and take a look under the hood. Starts right up. No check engine lights or anything like that. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video you'll have been able to verify the quality and condition of this truck all the way around inside out. This one does have LED headlights installed on it. And under the hood we have the 6.7 liter Cummins diesel engine. Engine bay is very clean, runs very smooth. Once again this truck has been fully safe and inspected by our server shop as a fresh oil and filter change while the fluids have been checked and topped off. And this truck is 100% ready to go. There is your emissions sticker. I would highly recommend this truck from a quality and condition standpoint.

Good morning. We are so thrilled to have you this morning as we are getting ready to learn a little bit more about Canva, something that is definitely taking over as a design tool. And so we are thrilled that you're here this morning trying to grow with us and learn a little bit more about it. So my name is Danita Pimienta and I'm the executive director for CARE, which is children, athletes and artists involved in recreational events. I'm also the TechSoup Connect events coordinator and co-leader, I should say in reference to it. And I'm here with my bestest buddy that is could do anything tech related and grant writing and all that in the nonprofit sector. That's a read the assignments she's in. And we have another co-leader that's Melanie as well. So we are thrilled that we can be able to come to you and present this information. So just a little bit though about TechSoup Connect. This is a worldwide network, as you can see from all the dots that's on here. It's located in a number of countries, usually around 236 and counting. And because this network is all over, we have an opportunity to really connect with one another and make it something that is educational for everyone. So along those lines, we hope that you would join us in the process of becoming a contributor in some way to TechSoup Connect. Of course, we say it's TechSoup Connect Florida because we hail from the Orlando area, but you can also come from other areas and still help us out in events or production, marketing, whatever the case, you want to handle that chat room as it's going, you are more than welcome. The information is there. It's denita at care.org. That's C-A-A-I-R-E.org. And you're able to connect with us and be happy to have you on board. Just a friendly reminder though, we have some events that are coming up and these events are the gatherings like we have here. So next month, we'll be doing the fundraising journey. Why didn't somebody tell me? That's a great topic to get some more information on some of the things that might be applicable for your organization in terms of fundraising. And then on June 13th, that's the five costly mistakes nonprofits make, and we definitely want to try to avoid those. So make sure you join us. We'll put the information in the chat in order for you to be able to click the link and you will be able to have all the information sent to you. Enough about me, about TechSoupConnect, all that. We're here to learn more about Canva from one of the creative directors at Sinvista Creations. His name is Salim Nurideen, and he is an incredible individual who has some great experience in terms of graphic design and all like that. And when he learned about Canva, he said, let me take some of my design information and my design skill set and let's try to go ahead and put that in front of everyone else. And let's see how Canva stacks up. So we'll be interested in hearing his opinions on those as well. The other thing about Salim is that he is a Olympian. Yes, that's right. In the Olympics, running track, all of that, you can see that he probably looks like a track runner just sitting there. He just has that whole vibe going on and we love it. So he can take all of that track information and he probably designed some things for them to, right? He can take all of that and maybe get us on the fast track of being able to do some things with regard to Canva. So I am hopeful, Salim, that everything is going to work out for you to be able to share your screen now. And if you want to go ahead and start doing that, you're more than welcome. We look forward to being able to learn so much from you this morning. So welcome Salim. Thank you, Danita. I appreciate that. Thank you for having me. It's an honor to be able to present some of this information because it's great information. And I myself, I'm a designer, and I used to not be a fan of Canva at all. I looked at it like, what is this program trying to replace designers trying to put me out of the job? That's how I looked at it. But I began to see that it had so many benefits that even somebody with my skills could make available to people who aren't as into the design field, but they still want to have effective designing for their businesses and anything they're trying to present. And it just offered a huge plethora of just attributes that anybody can use. And I thought it'd be really good to do this because I want to demystify Canva because as easy as they make it sound, it is still tricky. So I hope that with this presentation, I can break it down and you guys won't be afraid of it and you guys can dive in as well. So what we're going to do today is I'm going to share a presentation with you. But while we're doing this presentation, we're going to actually create a flyer together so we can see exactly how this program works. All right, I'm going to go ahead and share my screen. So we're going to start how to create eye catching graphics with Canva. All right, let's go ahead and get this thing started. As discussed earlier, I'm Salim Nurideen. I'm a graphic and web design, I'm a graphic web and instructional designer with Sylvester creations here in Florida. And I've had over 12 years of experience doing this and I'm also a two time Olympian and track and field retired. I emphasize the retired. Okay. Now here's what we're going to learn in this course we're going to learn how to log into your Canva account because if you can't do that you can't get it started. Number two is we're going to learn how to lay out your canvas and your canvas is basically what your design is going to go on let's say you're doing a postcard. And then your canvas is going to be the size of a postcard in most cases that be like four by six inches. So we're going to learn how to do that. We're going to learn how to use images. We're going to learn how to use effects. We're going to learn how to use elements. We're also going to learn how to use text. Once we're able to put those different objects on our canvas, then we're going to learn how to position and align those different objects so you can effectively display what's being said on your flyer or any type of ad that you're creating. And then the last part is how to save and publish your project. All right, let's get this part started. Now, the first part is logging into your Canva account. And now when you go to Canva, all you need to do is go to www.canva.com. And in the upper right hand corner, you're going to see two buttons, a gray button that says login. This is if you already have an account. And then sign up and then sign and both of these require you to put in like an email address and some type of username. And just remember that and you'll be able to log in after that. And a great thing about it is Canva also works on your phone. It has an app. So it uses the same information. So what on your desktop? That's what you are desktop or laptop. You'll also see that on your phone. And the login information is the same. Laying out your canvas. And what we're going to do, we're going to go through the next couple of sections and we're going to start here. We'll go through the next couple of sections and we'll create the flyer together, but we're going to use this information that I'm talking to you about right now. So the first part is laying out your can your canvas. And what you're going to do is you're going to be clicking on create the create a design button. And we'll go through that once we create the flyer. The next part is in the upper right hand corner will be able to choose exactly what we're going to be creating in this case will create a flyer and that part will be available to that part you can choose from and we can put that down based on what size we need it to be. The next part is we can choose a template for our design and that's one of the beauties of Canva is that you can choose a template to use. You can choose what you created and work from that so you don't have to recreate the wheel, you have a really huge library that you can just go through and you can choose the one you like, and then you can automatically upload that to your to your canvas. So based on the canvas that you choose, let's say as a postcard or an ad for Instagram. There's a whole library of different templates that you can choose to get you started. And these are fully created graphics. They have photos they have text they have everything already created. So you could just plug in your information and change it to how we need it now I'll explain how I'll show you guys how we're going to do that. Let's get through the next couple of sections. Once we choose our template, we can choose the different images because we want to put our images in there. So we can go through we can click on the images that are already in that template. And then we can upload our own and these images can be anything that you have already on your computer, or they could be images that are already in canvas library. Both work depending on how you want to do it you can upload your own images. There's a button on the side that talks about upload and you can see the photo section here. You can also see the upload section right there that's above it. And so you can put in your own images there and you can import them to your canvas, they can you can use them as the background image, but it allows you to do these different types of freedoms. Alright, so before we get to effects. Let's go ahead and start our present. Let's go ahead and start our example here. So I'm going to stop sharing my screen. And then I'm going to share again. So I can, let's see here. Perfect. Okay. Okay, so you guys should be able to see my screen. This is the back menu of Canva. So everybody can see that. Perfect. Okay, so as I said before, in the first part, the first thing that we're going to do we already logged in so we're already logged in you can tell because you have your username or initials up here that shows that you're already logged in. The next thing we're going to do is we're going to lay out our canvas and the first thing I said was create a design so you have this big nice purple button here that you can't miss and it says create a design we're going to click on that. And now you see the different options that we have based on what you need. Let's say we want to do a regular flyer you have this one that's like a regular flyer that you would see online. You can do 5.5 by 8.5 inches, you can do posters, Instagram posts, a resume, and you can even do custom. You can even do custom sizes. So let's say you wanted to do like a regular sheet of paper, you could say okay I want to do a custom size, and I can put 8.5 by 11, like a regular sheet of paper, those are just some of the options that you can do. Okay so we're going to go ahead and do this flyer right here so we're going to click on that. So now we have our blank canvas, and you can see over here, these are the templates that I was talking about that you can choose from. You have all different types they have, they have different rows they're divided into different subjects so over here is for you. Flyer, Mother's Day, there's so many, Black Friday, anything that you need it has, this is a constantly growing library that you can choose from. So let's say in this case, we want to choose something, let's see here. Let's see, let's see, we're going to choose this one right here, this one looks fun. So all you got to do is you just click on it, and it automatically shows up right there. Now of course we're not going to want to keep this information, this is just information that they give you we're not going to want to keep these images but we can change these to whatever we need. So that brings us to the next section which is images so we want to change these images, I am not in Paris right now so it's okay we're going to change this so all you have to do. So right here, we want to change this to something else. So we can come over here to photos.  Let's say I want to be cakes, I can just click on that, and we have this image so right now this image is set as the background. So, let's say we want to replace this image. So, right now it's in the background so I can detach this image, and it's gone so this is this back here is just a template that we can use. So we want a picture they want a picture of cakes. So we can click on it, and it'll bring it here, or we can drag it and bring it here, and it automatically lays out where we want it to go. We can also upload images so let's say I want to upload an image that I have into this library, so I come over here to uploads. So I have all these images that are already in my library, but I want my own image there. So all I do is I go on my computer, and I'm going to do the same thing that we did before where I drag an image to this library. And it automatically appears, but I want this image to replace this image in the back so all I need to do is take this image, drag it over here, and now that image is there. So what we're going to do is now we're going to go back to our presentation. And we're going to get into some of the more, we're going to get into some of the more advanced techniques here. So we're going to go back and share to this presentation you guys can you guys able. No wait, I'm sorry, I'm an I share to the wrong one. There we go. That's what I wanted to do. Okay. All right, we are back. So, you guys can see that. Okay, the next section that we're going to explore our effects and effects are different things that you can do to images and shapes like cropping images and cropping images basically mean let's say you have this huge image of all these different objects, but you want to focus on just this one building in this picture cropping allows you to zero in on different aspects of that picture, and cut out all the rest. And that's what affects allows you to do it also allows you to flip objects let's say you want to flip it to where it's facing the other way. That's so that would that's what would allow you to do that transparency that allows you to let's say you have an image that's full color but yes I want this to fade a little bit. I want it to be a little bit see through transparency will allow you to do that. You can also go to edit images and edit images gets really deep because you can change colors, you can add shadow to your pictures. You can do all types of different you can add different types of filters me I'll know what filters are because we see those on like Instagram and adding all types of different colors so it has its own filters that you can use and we'll see that when we go back to our flyer. The next part are elements and elements you can see that here in in the this let the left menu elements are a little bit different elements are different things like not just photos but videos audio. You can have different charts that you like let's say you want to like a bar graph or something in your graphic, you can plug in the numbers, and you can insert that chart into your onto your canvas into your flyer or whatever you're doing. You can also with these elements you can change their color you can change their sizes. Another really great thing that you can do are if you see these objects here they're called frames and frames are really cool because they have all these different shapes. That you can insert your picture in so you can insert into a circle at the most simple and you I'll show you these we have all types of different shapes that you can insert your picture in and it has that shape it just gives a really cool effect. I have a quick tip here. So much you can do with elements, but you don't want to do too much because sometimes, sometimes doing a little is just enough but you can do too much you don't want to go crazy because there is just so much you could be like okay I want to frame here, I want to video here, I want to I was this far here and it's yeah okay you don't want to lose the message that you're trying to show by trying to do too much so just take this with the grain of salt. Use the use these different elements where you can but don't oh we'll go overboard. All right, text. Now that you decided what your flyer looks like now you got to make sure that what it's going to say is done effectively. Next here it's also in that menu. And once you get here you can add these different types of text. It gives you, it starts with a header text which is larger. Then it has a sub header, and then it has the body information of what you're going to be showing. And you can also change the colors, you can change the effects and sizes of the different fonts you can add bullet points. These are things that you normally see in documents and things like that you can see in like Microsoft Word. So yeah, those are pretty easy. Another quick tip I have for your text. You want. Okay, the title is the most that that's the thing that's going to grab the attention is the largest thing it's typically starts out at the top.  The text is going to get smaller, but it's going to get more detailed. So the more detailed information is typically going to be the smaller information that is further down the page, but the largest, that's the attention grabber. That's going to be the largest, it gets the attention that's the first thing that the person's going to read when they see your design, the part underneath it. The sub header, that part is the part that tells a little bit more information about what's going on, but it's smaller than the header. And so that goes along with what I'm saying how you start off with the largest information with this is the title, which is the most vague but it's the attention grabber, and then the sub header adds a little bit more information. It's smaller. And that's how it goes as it proceeds down the page. All right, positioning and aligning objects. Once we have our images are text, everything on our canvas. Now, we can start to position different things and move them around and positioning is awesome because you can play around with the priority of objects. Let's say you have one shape, you have another shape, you want one shape in front of the shape like a sitting on top of it. So you can play around with that and have them, and you can have them one on top of the other and vice versa. If you have multiple objects, you can actually have them aligned in a row to where they are all the same height, they are all spaced out the same distance. And this is something you typically want to do once you have everything on the board and you want to decide the orientation. My quick tip, I know I said it a lot less is more, give your objects room to breathe. This allows a more legible, easier to read and easier to follow document. So we'll see that when we're working. So now let's go ahead and go back to our design. Okay, we are here we go. Okay, we are back. Everybody can see that. Okay, perfect, perfect. Okay, so let's say we are, we have our image in the background, we want to change these images. So all we got to do we go over here to photos. Let's say we want some of the photos that that we've already used. Okay, we want the okay I want to pick this out want a picture of my face, I can drag it here, and it shows up. It's right there. You can also take images out of these different frames. I can right click on it and I can hit detach image, and it's back. So I can do that with multiple images with this one. Let's say we want another image here. We have some kids doing sports so let's say we're going to put that there. We want another image here. Let's go and let's find an image here in our photos let's say we want a picture of a dog. So I go to dog. All right, here we go. I like this dog right here. So I can take this over here. Oh, and I want to drag it. And I like that picture of this dog. Now, but let's say you know what, I want this dog to face the other way so now we're starting to deal with the facts. I want this dog to face the other way. So I can detach this picture. So we're going to go back to effects up here. Let's see, I want to flip this picture I keep dropping it sorry about that. Let me do another great point. When you want to undo, you can just come up here and undo the last thing you did, or you can hit control Z. Great tool, because we're all going to make mistakes. All right, so we come up here to these different effects I want to flip this. So I come over here to flip, I want to flip horizontal, I like that better. So now, and drop it back in there. And that's how that's how that works. Let's say this block here.  So you have this row of effects here. This is the transparency button and you can hover over these objects, it'll tell you what they do. So let's say I want this to be more transparent. So I can change it like that it looks like it's two different objects, and it makes that more transparent. But let's say I want to leave it how it is I'm going to hit control Z and bring it back to where it was. All right, next part. Now we have different elements. We already had some elements here like these circles but let's say we want to have some other type of elements here. Now this is the part I said don't go crazy, because there's so much here. You can use you have different shapes. And if you come over here to see all it'll show you all the different shapes that you have. And it's a lot. And these are different things that you can bring to your screen. If I want to block it puts that there all types and once these shapes are here you can change their colors based on this over here. So I'm going to delete that. Let's look at some of our other things we have graphics here that we can use. A bunch of different graphics you can use some of them even move. So for online it really gives a really nuanced look that a lot of people won't expect. So let's say I want this bubble here. And now that's there so it's just awesome but that's why I say that's why I say, you can do too much. Don't do too much. So these are some of the graphs are the charts I was talking about. And these are pretty cool because you can have let's say I want to show this pie chart here. So it has this pie chart and you can change the items you can change like what the different percentages are really cool stuff. But we're not going to be using that we're going to go down here to frames frames is really cool thing to use because you have a bunch of different types. Let's say I like this kind of oblong shape I want something a little bit more advanced than in circles so I'm going to put this here. There it is. Now let's say I want my dog picture in that. So I can take my dog picture. Let's say I'm going to take it out I'm going to detach it, and I'm going to put my dog picture in that. So now I wanted to leave this one. And this is why this is the picture I want right here. So that's how frames work and then if you don't want that there you can just right click detach the image like so. So that's the that's how elements work. So much you can do just be careful not to do too much. Now the next part that we're going to get into is text. You can also zoom in if you're having a difficult time seeing if we want to really focus on some of these texts. So let's say okay, I want this to be creating eye catching graphics to. So all you got to do is just highlight that creating. See this needs to go that's fine. See I have too much space but that's fine. So we have all this but let's say okay this is too large. So you can come up here, change the font size of it. You can also move it around to wherever you want it just like that. I have my subheader here. Let's say I want to change this to more design less clutter or something like that. Okay, so let's say we have this part let's say I want it in yellow. You come over here. You can pick colors to choose from. You can choose it from here or you are some you already have loaded. So I have that right there. And that's a great thing about these templates. They already have all the colors that the templates use there already at your disposal so if you need to change something to a color that matches the template you already have is already loaded. Okay, and let's see another thing that's all that is for the text, very simple very straightforward.  There are all different types of fonts you can use, and depending on however you want your flyer to speak. So right now, the last part in terms of the design we're going to have is positioning and aligning the objects. So let's say we have, let's say we okay you know that's fine. Let's say we have this picture of my face. And here's another cool thing you can copy the different objects if you need to I just hit control C and control V and it copies objects, or you can right click and hit copy. And then right click paste. Oh, sorry about that. Okay, sorry about that. Okay, so let's say we have these three images, but they're all over the place, but I want them to be even evenly laid out. So, I click on all the pictures, and the way you do that is I right click I'm holding the shift button to click on all the pictures. And this shows how they can be positioned. Let's say I want all these in a row. So all I would need to do is, and it puts them all in a row, but they're still off in terms of how they're spaced out so I come back I highlight all of them I come back here.  But let's say but I want my dog picture in the front. All I gotta do is click on my dog picture I go back to position. And then you look up here, and you can move an object forward, you can move an object backward, let's say you're going to bring it to the front by bring this to the front. Now this dog picture is going to be on top of every element on the page. And that's what happens so this object is in front of every element on the page. So that's how positioning works it allows you to move things to to the front move things to the back based on priority. And then it allows you to space out objects in relation to other objects and in relation to what's going on the canvas. I know there's a lot going on but I just wanted you guys to be able to see all the different things that you can do with the program. Okay. Once we're done. All we need to do. All we need to do is go to share up here. And then when you go to share. This allows you to either download the image yourself. You can hit this to get to you want to print the object, but we will discuss that at a different time. You can share this based on whatever social media you're trying to use. But then the coolest aspect is, you can share this with another person, or multiple people so you just type in their email address. And what's going to happen is it's going to send them a link that and that this project has been shared with them. And then you can give them different permissions to just look at the graphic, or even make their own edits. So that's the awesome part to where somebody can do a design for you. And let's say you want to use this design later on, at least with this program now you can use that same design that you have and change the information. So that's what they call repurposing. And that's one of the beauties of using Canva. And so once that's done, or another cool thing about it is, you audit it automatically saves. Everything you do automatically saves your file. So if we go back here and we go to my back to the menu. And you see the list of projects here. So this is the project that we just did. So everything is automatically saved there. And there it is there's the information that there's everything we just created automatically save you don't have to worry about losing it. It's right there. So let's go back to our presentation we are coming up to the end. Did that. Oh no I didn't share yet sorry about that. Okay, there we go. Okay. So we already talked about downloading and publishing. I already gave you that quick tip that canvas saves automatically saves your work. So what we're going to learn today we learn how to log into your Canva account, how to lay out your canvas, how to use images, how to use effects, how to use elements, how to use text, how to position and align different objects, and how to save and publish your project. Wow. I have a quick question. How long do you guys think I have been using Canva few months. All right, all right. Anybody else feel free to unmute if you'd like and you can share your thoughts in the chat room one year years one month. It seems like you are doing so much that you have all of this expertise and it took you a while to build it, which is excellent. And I'm so glad that you're willing to share it with us. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right, I will stop sharing my screen because I think we are at the end but I've been doing this for about three weeks. I've been doing it for about, yeah, about three weeks. So if I can do this, I know you guys can. I know you guys can. That is it for this Canva tutorial. You guys have any questions or you guys want to reach out you have any questions about Canva or any ways that I can help you guys become experts in Canva or you guys need any help in terms of design websites, flyers, any of those type of things. You can find me here at you can email me at info at Sylvestercreations.com, or you can go to my website, it's www.sylvestercreations.com slash imagination, and that basically allows you to schedule a free 10 minute imagination session, and I can help you bring your creations to life. So I will, I'll put this information in the chat. I'll stop sharing for now. And now we can open up the floor to any questions that you may have. Listen, we want to thank you so much, Slim, because your three weeks worth of knowledge is just fantastic. Now, the gentleman I remember just a comment came in and said, for cash, I think he said, you've been using Photoshop a long time so that might make it a little bit easier of a journey for you using Canva. I just know that even as somebody who's used Photoshop as well, it does. Canva certainly does put a really pretty bow on it and making it a little bit more simplistic and the learning curve is not as great. I think maybe that might help a lot of people with it with it as well. But we do have some questions and some that you did answer but I'm going to reiterate because I want to make sure we get everything so I just scroll through the top of the chat. I was going to read out Samir was asking how this fire or any other Canva design can be used in email communication with our beneficiaries, perhaps at a nonprofit can you easily export the design from Canva and embed it into an email, let's say for a monthly newsletter, based on what you were saying on the exporting of it I believe that is an option that you're able to do that looks to be something that we're able to do. Can you apply drop shadows. Drop shadows, yes. Drop shadows was actually in, I believe that was in the effects tab. Yeah, so you can have. I guess you guys want me to show you guys. Oh, that'd be great. Okay, yeah, let's see here. Let me go back to screen again. Let me go back to. Alright, share screen. Okay. You guys can see that. Yes. Okay, so let's say we want to add some drop shadows here. Okay, let's say we want to do this one right here. So we have this object here. Let's say you want to add drop shadows. And over here, I believe that it is that all the effects are all up here. Let's see here. Let's see if I notice not that's animate. Let's see edit image. Okay, so edit image so you say we have this image we want to add a shadow so we come over here. We see we have shadows. Let's see all the different types we have was even have this drop shadow here. So this does it based off of the image and not the shape. You can also change the level of shadow. Let's say we want it to be darker. We want the offset to be more so yeah you can definitely play around with the drop shadow here. Let's see if we can add so we can do it with images let's see if we can do it with some of these shapes. We have we have this shape right here. Let's see what we can do with this. You guys are asking me stuff on the fly. Okay. Let's see here. No, those are colors. We have these different objects that we have so we want these objects to have a drop shadow. So we know we can add objects to images. Some of these may already have. Okay, so I think some of these already have shadows on them. And I think this is one thing and I'm glad that you asked that there you can't do everything with Canva. There are certain things that it has its limitations. In this case, we may be able to do drop shadows with shapes and we know we can do it with images and terms of shapes. I may have to come back to you on that one. Yeah. Fair enough on that one. And Joe, let me know that I did. I missed your question so that was a question. I was just asking, is there a way to link text to boxes. So text flows onto them in a series, like you can link text boxes and pork or in design. Okay, I use in design so that text flows into them. Can you give an example of that. Joe, into them. Okay, so when you're when you're doing layout of a multi page document and park, for example, you can create text boxes on page one, link it to a text box on page two link that to a text box on page three. If you can flow a large document into text box one, it automatically, when you paste it into text box one it automatically flows into 234, you can have them set up so they go in series and then they're done it's an unbroken document, rather than making separate text boxes with with pieces of text that you have to cut yourself. I see, I see, and you know you're right you definitely do things like that in in design. That may be on the scope of Canva. I know they do have a link. They do have a link button here. You can, you can link to an outside text I know that but no this would be a layout question, as we described. I think the answers, I think the answers no but I just wanted to find out. I've been using Canva for quite some time as well I have not seen that because it's a great feature. I'm going to go hunt it down, if it's possible but I have not. I think that's that's something that would be more specific to an in design which is heavily which heavily focuses on documents and making sure that it has the information, but I don't think that is the scope of canvas. In the scope of in Canva doing things like that, since it's more graphics oriented rather than the text oriented. I agree. Margaret is asked. Oh thank you so much Joe. Thank you. Thank you. Margaret is asking what export formats are available in Canva. Let's have a look so we're going up to the share. Should I share my screen for this, I probably should. I can actually jump in here and explain that I'm with free choices creative I am a professional designer, but I have a lot of nonprofit clients who are using Canva. And when they provide materials that they've designed a lot of times they're giving me bitmaps or something that I can't do anything with. I'm trying to figure out what's the best way for professional designers to take materials that have been they've gotten 80% of the way there with Canva. And now they're trying to hand them off to somebody who does want to do something like linking text that sort of stuff. Okay, that's a great question and I understand where you're coming from because I do work with a print shop. And if you don't if you have a you can have a regular canva.  So that can be difficult because now, once somebody sends me a design and they exported it in, however they need to send it to me. I have to go in and create the bleed with the different of the different ways I have to do it and in terms of what you said yes that is an issue. So I think in this situation it helps because when you know that they are using Canva and they're creating designs that's going to make your job more difficult to make it print ready or however need to. But now, because you're you know how to use Canva. I think you'll be able to make those edits that you need. Yeah, I found that, like the gentleman said before, about being able to have a document that are texts that can flow to the next page or whatever. I'll say I'll have to let's say okay I like the design that they created on Canva. I may have to take this text out and export it as a graphic and put it in in design so I have the background there. And then I'll have to like add that aspect using like a more advanced program like in design. So, for more advanced designers, they are going to have to. They are going to have to use like Canva in conjunction with more advanced software like we tend to use. Canva cannot do it all. There's no program that is just for everybody. This one is user friendly. It's designed for everybody to use. But I feel like if we have the knowledge of how to use it, we can take what they use and add what we know to create a more advanced document. Yeah, and the nice part for the nonprofit sector is that it ends up saving the money. Absolutely. Absolutely. And one thing I've noticed is that with this. Let's say I create some flyers in Photoshop. And I'm doing work with clients that need a lot of edits. So they have a lot of people that are giving their information and they're constantly saying hey we like what you made with that edit. Can you send, can you make these more edits. And that can drive us crazy. So now with this let's say I create the design in Photoshop is just the background I put it in Canva. I put the text in there I share it with them. Now they can make any edits that they need they don't have to worry about the background because they're not messing with that we already created that. And now we can put some of the onus on them to make those changes so that makes our lives easier in terms of time. So I think that to answer your question that combination of Canva and more advanced software together. That's what's going to help and what's going to allow us to do our job. Thank you so much for that. Yeah, thank you. Oh, and just to go back in as well and clarify the types of formatting. I know that you were talking about bitmats and so forth but just for those who use generalized things PDFs, you can export out your particular creation in a PDF you can make it a JPEG a PNG. If you design in PowerPoint design a PowerPoint type presentation what the film has, you're able to export it into PowerPoint. It has a number of formats that you're able to export into so hopefully that's helpful. One other note, since we're dealing with nonprofits, we want to let you know that canva is typically free for nonprofits it's canva pro that you end up getting. It's typically free. It's not across the board and it does take them a little while to go through verify and all like that but if you have a nonprofit, feel free to send in your request go to canva.com it is listed on there. And if you meet their qualifications you get that for free for a few of the members of your organization so we wanted to make you aware of that as well. One other question though Salim, it says can this be used similar to figma or sketch and I see that's probably a high tech thing over there. I honestly don't use either of those. I use I mean I use Photoshop Illustrator in design when it comes to sketching because I am an artist that draws. I use a completely different program called clip studio paint. So, yeah. Okay. Oh and thank you Kevin for putting that in I wasn't scrolled down so I didn't see that so thank you very much for going back in and typing in where how you can export. So, I went through I believe that I addressed most of the questions that are in there. Salim does have his contact information in and you are more than welcome to reach out to him directly. So, are there any other questions that we may have omitted or something that came to mind, and you just want to go ahead and ask at this time. No. Okay. It's all right if you unmute you can. Oh posting. Okay somebody said posting to Instagram. No, you definitely can you definitely can post Instagram. Not only can you create graphics that use Instagram's dimensions and they have Instagram specific templates, but when you export you can also export with not only Instagram business, but Instagram personal as well. So they have they have all types of different ways to export all types of social media I'm seeing Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Facebook group, Pinterest, LinkedIn, all types. That's fantastic. Again, thank you so much Salim this was fantastic. I wanted to go ahead. I know that there's one more question in there but before it slips my mind. I wanted to share with you all the fact that we are again our TechSoup Connect, and we wanted to just bring you to this page just to let you know that there are upcoming events that are listed here already through the month of August. I'd love for you to go in and sign up. I'm going to put in the chat, the link to this page. So then you'll be able to go in and sign up for those have it on your calendar. So that way you can become much more aware of some of the other things that we're doing later on in the months to come. So I wanted to share that part with you as well. And let's go back to the question that I missed here. I'm seeing both but I'm not in a Canva pro account. Yeah, someone who said, I think it was Stephanie she had said that she was told that it was Instagram, okay that it was Instagram and not personal not the personal Instagram. I'm seeing both Instagram and the Instagram business and Instagram personal that you can export your graphic to but I was saying that I'm in a canvas pro account so I don't know what the first Canva account allows. I know the pro account allows both. Yeah, I'm sorry I unmuted this time they're testing the fire alarms in my building so that's why I don't want to be on unmuted. So I have the pro account as well but when I went to post it to Instagram, it said it had to be a business account of Instagram business account. And so I have both so I went in and posted it on my personal account when you created the graphic did you create the graphic using the Instagram layout. I put it in Canva, and I was trying to post it to Instagram. Oh no I know I was saying like when you first created your canvas. Did you, did you create using the using Instagram's layout. I believe I did. They're buying firearms are getting closer to. She has to get it with it. Yes, I believe I use the template for the Instagram. Yes. Again, I haven't done it with Instagram yet in terms of exporting a graphic. So I am not 100% sure. Okay, thank you. I did connect with you on LinkedIn. I'll probably be emailing you. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. That is wonderful we love to hear it. This is called text of connect so let's do that. Again, everyone, you have been fantastic. I didn't see any additional questions in there. So we're going to go ahead and wrap up for the day. I want to thank my co host who's been in here interjecting and helping out with the chats and with all the other direct questions that are coming in and so forth so you guys have been fantastic. My name again is Danita Pimenta. You can reach me instant on LinkedIn or you can reach me with the, my email address Danita at care.org. We love having all of you here today. This has been another tech to connect presentation, and we appreciate you being here this afternoon have a great day everyone. Thank you guys coming. Thank you. Kim, are you still on to go. Yes ma'am. Oh good okay bear with me one second okay. Okay. You're fantastic. Thank you I appreciate that was really, really fun. Everybody, all the comments were great, very helpful. They were glad that you were giving this much information and walking them through it. No that was helpful because the questions really let you see what you are able to do that I might not have been able to get to myself. That was that was helpful for me as well. Okay miss Kim. I wanted to, because your question reiterate your question again I'm sorry, because I know it was something that I had to pull up so go ahead tell me. Yeah so in the beginning, the audience few for zoom. I did that same challenge yesterday trying to present. And so I definitely would love to know where to change that so I don't have that happened to me again. Okay, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to share my screen with you so you'll be able to see it. And then I'll show you the other parts that come up. I'm a canva, and I'm going to use the limbs presentation. Just because I can. I thought you said I had to go into zoom. You do. I'm going to show you. Okay. So, are you. And I am hold tight one second. Now tell me what you're seeing on your screen. Are you still just seeing me or are you seeing. I see your presentation with the squares at the bottom. Got it. Good good. Okay, so up here when you go to present. There are several types of presentations that you can get. So, standard presenter view, all like that, you can present and record. So what I do is typically just the standard view. So if you hit that, and what sometimes will come up in most cases will come up. Hold tight. Sorry. Let me go back out of that. Because I did a PowerPoint in this happen so I didn't even. There it is. Let me go back out. So you can see it. So it's called presenter view. Okay, and it is just standard as if you were doing a regular PowerPoint presentation, and you're just ready to start it presenter view when you hit present. I'm hopeful that you can see my screen. Do you see the part where it says audience window. I see the big one and I see the little bitty windows at the bottom your next screens. And it says presenter window over time. So then you can't see the audience window. Okay, so then let me stop sharing this way hold on. Because what I want you to be able to see is what's on my screen. So then you will not have a difficult time with with being able to get it out. Did I tell you that I love it. I do too I use it a lot but I haven't presented in a while and so that was new to me. Yeah, it's like it wants to it hid over my actual items where I need to stop sharing. There we go. Alrighty, let me share my whole screen with you. Sometimes I don't like doing that is because of the fact that I have to look at myself looking at myself. I don't like looking at myself for you. So that's what it is. Alright, can you see, hopefully you can see everything. Well, yeah, it's still the same screen. Yes, got it. Okay, so then we're on present, and then present a view, and you hit present. So prayerfully, you'll be able to see that there's an audience window here. Do you see this. Okay. So now the audience window, don't hit enter full screen mode. What you do is, and I'm going to have to move this away, you go into zoom. And typically, of course because you're watching it may not work, but here you stop sharing on there. You'll go into zoom. And you will want to do that. Because I have two screens. And so the screen that I was presenting on gave me my screen, but the screen that I wasn't presenting on gave the audience view. It was really weird. I have multiple screens as well. And when I came to share my screen, you have the option to share your screen by screen, but then you also have the option to share by the audience view. So whenever I was going to be sharing the presentation. I just made sure I looked for the one that said audience view. And that was the one that popped up. My screen. Can you see where I've hit the audience view. You're not sharing. It did for a second. It did for a second and then it went away. Yeah, but yes. Yes, audience window. Yes. Okay, so audience window is the problem that I'm having is being able to show you that in zoom, you have the option of being able to see it. It's, it comes up just like Google. For example, if you use that as your browser. This is a selection here audience window. This is a option that you have when you actually share all of the windows. If you click on audience window, and you share it, you will be able to then go back in and see all of your notes, everything. Okay, okay. And I don't know why if you're looking at my full screen that you can't see it, but I guess it's something in there with with the way that it's doing it. I don't know why do you say don't hit the full screen because isn't that what I want. Yes, however, in most cases when you're presenting you have your notes, right. So if you go right into it, then what it did to me is it blocked my notes. You have one screen. Yes. Okay, you have to so you might be able to, if you have multiple screens you might be able to do that for me it blocked my notes. And I want to be able to see my notes. So it doesn't need to be full screen as it as long as you're sharing that box for the audience window from zoom. That's what they're going to see it doesn't actually need to be in full screen for everybody to see it because it's going to show what's in that box, and every if that's going to be full screen for everybody that's viewing it. Does that kind of makes it so even if like here, if I shrunk this box down. So you can have a split screen, Danita. Yes, and yeah. Yeah, but and then pull it over and but on audience on the presenter mode itself. It leaves me like that. It's a great thing. I wish I could show you but it doesn't show. But see how tiny this audience window portion is. Yeah, that part is all that has to be up there. However, it turns into full screen for anybody else is looking is what's on the same. Okay. Okay, I will gladly be your test person if you want to work. Okay, because I do want to be able to do it outside of it blocking my notes, because I need those. Yes, so with that being the case thanks for sending that to me. I'm going to go ahead and we will probably set up a couple of chats to just keep going back and forth on it. It's all a learning curve so I'm not ashamed to say that's not something that I know how to do completely, but it has been working when I do share even just that small box. Thanks y'all so much. This was phenomenal. Great. I had no idea about some of the features that you were sharing and so I'm very appreciative I'm so glad that I'm here today so Danita, you are the best. So thank you very much. I'm going to go ahead and definitely reach out to you so therefore we can, we can all sort of just stay on this learning journey. Yeah, I hope that it does end up working out where we can all be able to see our notes see the rest of the screens and all like that but we'll figure it out at some point. Okay. Did you want to add anything. So I see this is recording how can I get that recorded. Oh, I should have announced that I'm sorry I didn't. Within 24 to 48 hours, the link is sent out. The gentleman who does it is a little bit backed up right now so it might be a little bit longer. Yeah, but usually it goes out to everyone who is registered for the event. So that's why I told you register because I knew that you could get that link. So just take a little bit and he'll be able to send that out shortly. Not a problem. I appreciate it. No worries, no worries. Alrighty, you guys have a blessed day.
