Saving Time on Administrative Tasks

• Drafting Communications: Gemini can help with writing emails to parents, newsletters, letters of recommendation, or other correspondence, providing a solid starting point and ensuring a professional tone.

• Summarizing and Translating: It can quickly summarize long documents or articles to provide the most important points for a lesson. It can also translate text into different languages to assist with multilingual classrooms.

Personalizing and Differentiating Instruction

Enhancing Creativity and Instruction

• Creative Content Creation: With Gemini's integration in tools like Google Slides, teachers can generate original images for presentations or create engaging visual materials.

• Generating Writing Prompts: Gemini can suggest engaging writing prompts, story starters, or even generate a story itself to spark students' creative writing.

• Using NotebookLM: A teacher can upload course materials and then use NotebookLM, a tool powered by Gemini, to create study guides or even podcast-style audio summaries for students.
