Gemini in Google Classroom is now available to all Google Workspace for Education editions, with added features
What’s changing
Earlier today, we announced numerous updates across Google Workspace for Education that expand feature access and further our efforts to give education customers new and powerful ways of working, teaching and learning with Gemini.
Prior to today, Gemini in Classroom was only available to customers with a Gemini Education or Gemini Education Premium add-on. Starting this week, 18+ users across all Google Workspace for Education editions will now have access to more than 30 AI-powered tools. With the help of Gemini, educators can create content and resources through one central destination in Classroom. This update is accompanied by a new admin setting that controls whether certain users in a domain have access to Gemini in Classroom.
Now, educators can get help creating first drafts of resources, based on learning objectives, with new features like:
In addition, educators can now ask Gemini to refine (modify, transform, or supplement) generated content however they want in a chat-like experience for select features. They can also assign content generated with Gemini in Classroom – after reviewing and editing it – directly to assignments in classes with the “Add to class” button. They’ll be able to select a class, which will then create an assignment in the chosen class and attach the Drive file to it.
Educators will also be able to collaborate with Gemini using starter prompts for the Gemini app that help with common tasks like:
- Brainstorming real world examples
- Gamifying an activity
- Generating differentiation strategies
- Drafting an exemplar and non-exemplar
- Creating Depth of Knowledge (DOK) questions
