Google rolled out over 30 new AI tools for educators at the ISTE edtech conference Monday. The move deepens the push of its Gemini AI and other AI-powered apps into classrooms.
The free Gemini AI suite is now available to all Google Workspace for Education accounts. Teachers can brainstorm lessons, generate plans, and customize student content using the AI features.
Teachers soon will get tools to create interactive study guides with the AI research tool Notebook LM, plus custom Gemini AI “Gems” tailored to support specific students by working with classroom materials.
This channels students’ existing habit of asking AI chatbots for homework help but redirects them to Google’s AI, trained on the teacher’s content.
Google is expanding access to its AI video creation tool, Google Vids, letting teachers and students produce instructional and creative videos.
Other updates include new features to track student progress, analyze engagement, strengthen data security, and manage AI tool permissions. Google also launched a new Chromebook teaching mode, Class tools, to connect teachers and students, share content, and control browsing during lessons.
School systems are grappling with AI-driven cheating and plagiarism concerns. Google hopes these tools support “responsible AI” for more personalized learning while keeping human-led teaching central.
Google explicitly said it sees AI as a way to deliver
“more engaging and personalized learning experiences,” when used in conjunction with human-led teaching.
