Google Gemini is changing so quickly, it can be tough to keep up. That’s why I created this video guide to walk you through everything you need to know to use Gemini in your classroom this year.

I’m especially excited about three specialized features that can save you a ton of time:

• Deep Research: A tool that conducts exhaustive, cited research on any topic for you. You can even turn the final report into an audio summary podcast for your commute!
• Gemini Gems: My favorite time-saver! These are custom AI assistants that you can train for specific, recurring tasks, like creating lesson plans or acting as a study partner for your students.
• Guided Learning: Worried about students using AI to just get the answers? I’ll show you how this feature turns Gemini into a homework assistant that guides students through the learning process instead of doing the work for them.
