Nick:

  • Flaticon for AI guideline markers.  Switching from noun project to flaticon.  They have way more stuff.  All my assignments this year will have different icons to indicate to the students how AI can be used on this type of assignment.
  • Using AI as a tutor.  Last night ChatGPT helped my wife learn how to reformat 7000 lines of data and then set up formulas based on that data for a work project.
  • Tables in Google Sheets:  With tables, you can simplify and accelerate spreadsheet building by bringing format and structure to unorganized ranges. By selecting your data range and going to Format > Convert to table, Sheets now does the heavy lifting to format and organize data with a polished design including column types, filters, color coding, dropdown menus and more.
