Using “GPTs” for teaching.

What are GPTs?
GPTs are customisable versions of ChatGPT tailored to specific use cases to help you teach, such as data analytics to summarise data findings, generate reports, and create data visualisations. They can integrate various capabilities, including web searching, data analysis, and even creating images using DALL·E. 
This functionality used to be exclusively available for ChatGPT users with Plus, Team, or Enterprise subscriptions. However, since the launch of GPT-4o in May 2024, the GPT store will also be available to free users. 

How to access the GPT store? 
Anyone with a ChatGPT account can access the GPT store from a smartphone, tablet, or computer (chatgpt.com). However, please note that free users cannot create custom GPTs.

Here are some useful GPTs for teaching:
