Google is enabling access to over 30 AI tools, including NotebookLM, to users under 18 years of age as a part of Google Classroom. Teachers with a Google Workspace account will have a Gemini tab with tools so they can discuss lesson plans, create math problems and write emails.
A separate Analytics tab will help teachers track student performance and assignments while showing improvement between them.
Subscribers with Education Plus Edition accounts will also be able to access add-ons like Gemini audio lessons.
The NotebookLM tool will be made available within the “coming months,” Google has said so students can generate podcasts on their study material and use interactive study guides. Teachers can build their own custom Gems, mini custom Gemini agents to help students with certain topics.
Other tools include Google Vids for generative AI video creation, Google’s Class Tools and a new Gemini “help me create a form” feature will be coming soon to the Google Classroom suite.
“With just a few clicks, educators can create instructional videos that make difficult concepts more digestible. Students can also get creative with Vids and produce their own video book reports and assignments. Vids is integrated with the tools you use every day — like Drive and Classroom — so it’s readily accessible,” a blog posted by Google said.
The Class Tools feature allows teachers to manage student Chromebooks by sharing videos or other content with them directly.
