Gemini Gems

Gems are custom versions of the Gemini AI that teachers can create for specific, repetitive tasks or to provide tailored learning experiences for students.   

• For Teachers (Efficiency and Planning):

  • Lesson Plan Generator: Create a Gem that, when given a topic and a standard, generates a full lesson plan, including objectives, activities, and assessments.   

  • Differentiation Designer: Use a Gem to quickly rewrite a reading passage or create a vocabulary list at different reading levels (e.g., 4th-grade level, ELL support).   

  • Formative Assessment Creator: Design a Gem to build quick bell-ringers, exit tickets, or quizzes (multiple-choice, short answer, or reflection) based on a specific skill or objective.   

  • Feedback Coach: Create a Gem that provides specific, supportive, and rubric-aligned feedback on student writing samples you paste in.   

• For Students (Interactive Learning):

  • Study Partner/Quiz Me: Assign a Gem that is "trained" on specific class content (by uploading source documents) and can act as a customized tutor for test preparation.   

  • Historical Persona Chat: Create a Gem that role-plays as a historical figure (e.g., a Civil War soldier) or a character from a novel (e.g., a character from Fahrenheit 451), allowing students to ask questions and learn through interaction.   

  • Brainstorm Partner: Use a Gem to help students organize their thoughts, generate project ideas, or explore counterarguments for an essay.

When to Use a Google Gem

Use a Google Gem when you need the AI to adopt a specific, consistent role or when the task involves creative or open-ended thinking that benefits from the AI's general knowledge.
