Live workshop
Instructor area
Teach from the agenda, use the fictional examples and open device-specific instructions with learners.
Two-hour run-of-show
Before class
- Open the course on a projector and a phone. Check Wi-Fi, power and access to chatgpt.com.
- Test the published class code in a fresh browser. Keep one printed Secure Setup Checklist and fictional practice pack for each learner who needs paper.
- Review the plan facts before class. Check Free and Go in live accounts, especially Scheduled access, notification menus, and any rows flagged for review.
- Set up a visible parking lot for questions. Have a helper handle sign-in and account recovery privately when available.
120-minute agenda
- 0–10 · Welcome and why. Ask each learner to name one task they repeat. Explain that they’ll leave with a setup they can use again.
- 10–25 · Secure Setup. Reserve five minutes within this block for account trouble. Invite anyone still waiting to use the paper prompt and rejoin at the next step.
- 25–50 · Chief of Staff. Give everyone the fictional inbox. Ask what belongs in Urgent and why. Edit a draft together.
- 50–70 · Three Routines. Demonstrate a confirmation, task management and notifications. Let learners set and confirm their three routines.
- 70–80 · Break. Help with sign-in or device menus as needed.
- 80–100 · Catalog tour. Have each learner pick one free win and try its prompt with fictional details.
- 100–110 · Upgrade self-check. Ask learners to name the recurring friction behind each yes answer.
- 110–120 · Q&A and next steps. Revisit the parking lot, identify follow-ups and introduce Builds 4–7 as take-home work.
Parking lot
Record the question, who will check it, and the next place the learner can find the answer. Leave account information and personal details off the shared board.
Common errors and fixes
- Learner can’t sign in. Check the original sign-in method and spam folder. Continue with the printed exercise while the learner recovers access.
- Projects menu differs from the projector. Use the learner’s mobile browser and check the sidebar first.
- Task response looks like regular text. Open Scheduled and confirm the item exists. Use phone reminders for a manual practice run when needed.
- ChatGPT makes up a policy. Ask which exact source line supports it. Use a placeholder or refer the question to a person when the source is missing.
- Learner pasted sensitive details. Pause and handle it privately. Open the relevant account controls together and direct the learner to their organization’s process when needed.
- A feature is missing. Confirm the plan, account, region and device before suggesting an upgrade.
