12 Days of Techmas
AI Edition - Day 9
Google Gemini
On the ninth day of Techmas, I am sharing a tool that is available to Google Users that gets overlooked. Did you know that Google has a Built-In AI Assistant at your fingertips?
If you haven't seen Google Gemini, take a minute to go to your Google account waffle (app launcher menu that looks like 9 dots) and scroll down to Gemini. There it is!!!
What is Google Gemini?
I decided to let Google Gemini explain what it is...
It's simple to get started, visit gemini.google.com OR Click Gemini in the App Launch Waffle of your Google Account
What kind of prompts can teachers use with Gemini?
I asked Gemini for some examples of prompts that teachers could use with it.
You could take any of these prompts and revise them to fit your own needs!
One cool feature that I really like is that Google Gemini will double-check the response. This will also add references/sources to specific pieces of information in the response so you can see where you can verify that information.
Did you know that Google Gemini is also available in your personal Google Account and will show up in a variety of Google Tools!
Google Gemini is available to use in Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Sheets, Gmail, etc. I personally love being able to use Gemini to create images in Google Slides. You should go check out what it can do!
Want to earn CEUs for participating in this year's 12 Days of Techmas? It is easy!

Your Day 9 task is to use Google Gemini to create something. That could be a lesson plan, an activity, a resource list, or even a travel plan for your upcoming holiday break!
To get credit for today's activity, create a document and share the prompt that you used. Did you create a lesson? An activity? Did you look for a list of resources for a project? Etc. How did Google Gemini do with making a response to your prompt?
