The SAN Script – Wednesday, February 24

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

Built between 1712 and 1732, marble busts line the long room, a collection that began in 1743 when 14 busts were commissioned from sculptor Peter Scheemakers. The busts are of the great philosophers and writers of the western world and also of people connected with Trinity College.

Other treasures include one of the few remaining copies of the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic and a special harp, the oldest of its kind in Ireland, and probably dates from the 15th century. It is made of oak and willow with 29 brass strings. It is the model for the emblem of Ireland. [source]

13 Google Forms Tutorial Videos

 

Last week the new version of Google Forms became the default version in many Google Accounts. But, as many people have pointed out to me, not all Google Accounts have made the transition. This is particularly true in Google Apps for Education accounts. Therefore, I put together a new playlist of Google Forms tutorials that includes videos demonstrating features of the new version of the Google Forms and the older version of Google Forms. By the way, for the time being, you can revert to the older version at any time.

In my new Google Forms tutorials playlist you will find videos demonstrating how to customize both the old and new versions of Google Forms, how to install Add-ons in both versions, and you will find tutorials on some of my favorite Google Forms Add-ons. The new playlist is embedded below.
