Workshop: Learn to Code with ChatGPT

Have you ever wanted to learn how to code Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc…? As a teacher you have a unique need to do tasks repetitively. Code should help you to do these tasks more efficiently. Have you ever wondered “Why can’t Google do this…?” This is what Google Apps Script can help you with. Check out some of my Add-ons I have created for Google Workspace Apps to see how I have created additional functionality. One of my favorite ways to add functionality to Google Workspace Apps is to smash them together. My Doc to Slides Add-on will take your paragraphs in a Google Doc and magically turn it into a Google Slides presentation. Would you like to learn how to code but feel that the learning curve to start creating projects is too high? This workshop with Google Developer Expert Alice Keeler is for you! Learn to code with ChatGPT. Join Alice for a 6 week interactive workshop to take you from zero to intermediate coder.

Register: Space is Limited

This workshop runs from April 2nd to May 20th. (Note: there is a break the week of May 7th). Space is limited to 20 participants.

Debugging Google Apps Script & ChatGPT

Please be aware that joining this workshop is about teaching you about Google Apps by using the power of ChatGPT to help you leapfrog over beginner to intermediate coder in 6 short weeks. ChatGPT will most likely provide code that does not work. You will need to troubleshoot and debug the code to make it work. There will be times that you are not able to figure out how to adapt the ChatGPT code to accomplish your project idea. It is recommended to start with basic coding project applications until your coding skills are practiced enough to be able to tackle more advanced topics.

This workshop does NOT Debug for you.

Unfortunately this workshop is unable to do any debugging for you. If your code is not working this workshop is designed to give you skills for having a basic understanding of Google Apps Script and JavaScript to help you to be able to address your errors in the code. Alice is unable to individually review your code to determine why your code is not working. During the live sessions you will learn debugging strategies that you can utilize in your own projects.
