Both staff and students have access to two powerful AI tools from Google: Google Gemini and NotebookLM.
Gemini is Google’s AI chat, where you can get help with your schoolwork, including summaries, writing assistance, translations, and much more. In Gemini, you can also get help creating documents and presentations and coding websites.
In NotebookLM, you can upload materials and ask questions about them to better understand the content. NotebookLM can also create audio overviews, videos, flashcards, quizzes, and more based on the materials you have uploaded. It’s a great tool when you’re researching information or studying for a test.
Your idea generator: Stuck on an assignment? Ask AI for ideas and new perspectives on the topic.
Your personal tutor: Ask Gemini to explain difficult concepts and connections, summarize texts, or quiz you before a test. You can also get valuable feedback from AI, although it does not replace your teacher.
Your language support: Get help improving your writing, correcting spelling and grammar, or finding synonyms. You can have text read aloud, and you can also practice foreign languages simply by talking with Gemini.
Your creative partner: Work with Gemini to write a story, a script, or song lyrics. You’re the one who guides and shapes the final result!
Study for tests: Both Gemini and NotebookLM can help you review what you’ve learned through quizzes, flashcards, and more.
Your digital tech support: Have technical questions about your Chromebook or, for example, want tips on how to use Google’s tools? Ask Gemini!
AI technology is still new and evolving. This means that we need to explore together how it can and should be used in school. But here are our basic principles:
Your teacher always decides how you may use AI during lessons and assessments. AI is more suitable in some situations than others, and your teacher’s job is to help you learn as much as possible during your time in school.
Talk about AI: Discuss with your teachers and classmates how you use AI. What works well? What is difficult? By talking about it, we can all learn more.
You are responsible for what you create: If you use AI to help you write a text, create an image, or generate code, you are responsible for the content. You need to understand it, be able to explain it, and stand behind it—just as if you had created everything yourself.
Cheating is cheating: AI is a tool, not a shortcut for avoiding the work. It is important to understand the difference between acceptable study support and what is considered cheating. Ask your teacher if you are unsure about what you are and are not allowed to do.
AI does not replace your own thinking: AI is a tool that can help you, but it should not eliminate the effort you need to put in to learn. What matters is your own understanding and knowledge.
Protect your data: Never enter sensitive information, such as your own or someone else’s personal information, into AI services. Protect your privacy!
Always check the facts: AI can sometimes provide incorrect, biased, or even prejudiced answers.
