What’s changing
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.
Today, 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
Who’s impacted
Admins and end users
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.
Additional details
Gemini in Classroom is only available in English for education users over the age of 18.

- End users:
