Getting the Most from Your Spreadsheets with GenAI: Teaching Tips

Course-Specific Technical Requirements
For this course, you will need one computer for the instructor to display the slide presentations for the course. Slides are provided in PowerPoint format (.pptx). Each student will need a computer with an Internet connection, a web browser, and a recent version of Microsoft Excel for the desktop. There are no other course-specific technical requirements for the course presentation.

Account Requirements
Each student must have a free Google Account to access Gemini (https://gemini.google.com ). This same account can be used to access ChatGPT (https://chat.openai.com); alternatively, students can use a different account to access ChatGPT, such as a Microsoft account or Apple ID.

If you intend to provide students with user accounts as part of your classroom setup, then create them before the class and provide them to students (with passwords) at the beginning of the class. You can reuse the same accounts for subsequent classes, although you should change the passwords after each class has finished.

If you intend for students to log in using their own accounts, remind them they'll need to know their user name and password for both sites when they attend class.

Note: Because of the open-ended nature of Generative AI, this course is intended for delivery across a full training day, to allow sufficient time for learners to explore the various techniques. If you have a need to teach the course in a more condensed time frame, see the timing and delivery suggestions in the Instructor Edition of the courseware manual.
