Gemini

This isn’t a Google Search: For the best results, don’t treat this like a google search. These chats require iteration to get what you need, so tell it when it’s being too wordy or when you want something in a bulleted list. Follow the P.A.R.T.S framework to get detailed, specific and helpful answers.

Guard your Personal Identifiable Information (PII): For yours and your student’s protection do not include personal identifiable information such as full names, phone numbers, addresses, images of your faces, etc. 

Consider making a Gem: These are custom, reusable AI chats that you build for specific tasks. You give them instructions and/or background files and they remember your preferences, role, and rules every single time you open that specific Gem.
