The Clear Old function in School Announcements Easy was designed to remove old items from the Form Submissions sheet based on date. In April or May of 2018 this function stopped working. An update on the SAE Add-on was published in August of 2018 that temporarily solved this problem. However, the update was related to…
With only two Add-ons available, we’re looking for more ways to help people with tasks that involve use of Google Suite programs. In particular we are interested in workout out solutions for the school environment. Currently we are working on an add-on for sheets that helps students connect with their counselors by using a Sheets…
Gannt charts are a terrific organizational tool for project management. Depending on your own perspective, they may appear completely boring or exciting. One of the values of using a Gannt is that it encourages the user to break down tasks into smaller pieces, and consider how long tasks and sub-tasks will take. I have found…

These are directed at the school environment, but can also be used in other contexts. School Announcements Easy! allows members of an organization to submit bulletin items using a form. The form then feeds the…
After a bit of testing, Check Out Easy is now available on the Add-on Store for Sheets. This Add-on was developed to create a quick and easy way to check out video gear in my classroom. A few years ago I was using paper (whaat?) for this. Students had to fill out a slip of…
We hoped that early May would be the latest that SAE would be published by. A few stages of development slowed this down, including a mismatch between the provided form and the behavior of the add-on. Google actually published it, but a quick check demonstrated a problem existed. In addition, settings in OAuth–this relates to…
School Announcements Easy is close to being approved by Google Add-ons for use with Sheets. We’re totally psyched! The story of SAE spans a few years. I got involved with the bulletin at my school when my students started producing a daily bulletin video. I create a simple Google form to gather bulletin items from…
I’d be a better programmer if I did it all the time… I’ve managed to get this Bulletinator app working closer to how I want it, but finding some things harder to solve than others. The biggest hurdles right now involve Publishing and Monetizing it for the Google App Store. With enough repeated attempts at…
To quote Theodore Geisel’s great book Horton Hears a Who, “We are here, we are here, we are here!” The site was created from a need to have a privacy page for the Bulletinator Add-on for Google Sheets. From there, a naming process erupted. Scott at Safehouse Web posits that “monkeys make things fun.” Cases such…
