Parental Guidance
Students will get more value from the class if they have access to Google Sheets software (free) so that they can practice with the templates that the instructor will demonstrate. If a student wants to use their own version of Google Sheets then they will need a personal account set up for them by their parent or guardian before the class starts. However, the instructor will be sharing his screen so that students can follow along even if they don't have their own Google Sheets software and account.
