New Feature Launch: Gemini in Google Classroom
Announcement
Hello everyone,
Earlier this year, we introduced the Gemini Education and Gemini Education Premium add-ons to give education customers new and powerful ways of working, teaching and learning with Gemini for Google Workspace. We also piloted Gemini in Google Classroom with new lesson planning features that are informed by LearnLM, our new family of models fine-tuned for learning, based on Gemini and grounded in educational research.
We’re excited to officially introduce a new Gemini Education tab in Classroom that grants quick access to the following AI tools:
- Outline a lesson plan: Use a scaffolded experience to generate lesson plan ideas based on what you’d like students to be able to demonstrate
- Craft a compelling hook: Spark curiosity and engage your students with a compelling start for your class
- Generate a quiz: Generate a quiz and export to Forms based on target grade level, length, and the types of questions you want to include
- Re-level text: Generate a new version of your text based on target grade level
We are working closely with schools and educators globally to develop additional helpful tools. If you’re interested in joining the pilot program, learn more here.
Who’s impacted
Admins and educators
Why it’s important
Gemini in Google Classroom provides educators with a suite of generative AI tools that can generate new and unique content and make learning more personal and engaging for students.
Getting started
- Admins: Learn more about available pricing and discounts for the Gemini Education add-ons or contact your existing Google Workspace for Education reseller or a Google for Education sales specialist.
- Note that Education customers who have already purchased Gemini Enterprise will have the choice to transition to either Gemini Education or Gemini Education Premium.
- Educators:
- If your admin has assigned you a Gemini Education license, navigate to the Gemini Education tab in the navigation bar in Google Classroom. Learn more here.
- When using generated content, you should always review the outputs as AI can make mistakes and refine the output so that it fits your context and local policies before assigning to students. Take this course to learn more about generative AI for Educators.
Rollout pace
