What are Regular Expressions in Google Forms?
Google Forms gives you the option to check that respondents answer your questions the way you want through what is called data validation. For instance, you can make sure that if you ask for an email address, the response typed in is, in fact, an email address. Google Forms has several simple, user-friendly options for data validation that I describe in my tutotial here.

How to Use Data Validation in Google Forms
Google Forms is a helpful tool for collecting information from a large group of people. You can use the forms you create to make contact lists, send out surveys, manage registrations, and more. Like all Google Docs, multiple people can edit your form at the same time before you send it out. Forms will organize the responses with real-time charts, or you can view it in Sheets for more thorough analysis.
Through what is called Data Validation, Google Forms gives you the option to check that users answer your questions the way you want. For instance, you can make sure that if you ask for an email address, the response typed in is, in fact, an email address. When used correctly, Data Validation can save you considerable headaches by preventing intentional and unintentional errors. You can use data validation on the following types of questions: text, paragraph text, checkbox, and grid.
Note: Data validation is not available in the new version of Forms.

How to Use Facebook Live Video
Facebook recently released the biggest new feature in recent history. iPhone users can now create a Facebook live video that your friends can watch and comment on while you are broadcasting. This is a great way to include your friends in life’s significant moments such as your kid’s birthday party or the opening of your new business.
Facebook live video is different from video chat. People tuning in can only type comments. However, they can see each other’s comments in a live stream and respond to what is happening in the live stream and to each other’s comments. I tried it out, and there was about a second of lag between what I was recording on my phone and what the people watching the broadcast were seeing.
This feature is coming soon to Android users.
