Gemini in Classroom

If you are looking to create educational materials, lessons, Forms, rubrics, activities, assessments, or anything else that you can use with your students, you should be thinking about using Gemini inside your Google classroom. Why? It is specifically designed to help you create materials and deploy them to your students. There are a lot of AI models out there, all of them can be helpful, but Gemini is the only one that lives inside of Google Classroom and makes deploying a breeze.

Did you know? Gemini Chats don't train the model making it safe to use with student data?

 Did you know? Gemini has built in tools that helps create everything from a lesson plan to a coded interactive game? 

There are different tools and modes that you can use to improve your results as well. Take a look!

I'm going to keep talking about this one. Notebook LM is a game changer in terms of workflows for education. When we talk about technology as a tool, this is the future. For the past several decades we save student technology use as a means for creating, communicating, and collaborating. While all this still is a valuable use of technology, there is a dramatic shift, technology as a student PARTNER. Yep. Because we have tools like Notebook where the teacher can curate and ground the AI chat with the resources that make up the curriculum and those that will best support our students, students can use the Notebook tool to help guide them, help them explore, help them study, and help the grow.  No AI tool will ever replace an educator who is a vital human connection to understanding and/or growth, but a teacher can't be all places at all times, and that's the power behind this. Students can ask questions, work with quizzes, access study guides and videos, all anchored into the materials the teacher is utilizing.
