Google is launching new AI tools for students and teachers. Gemini for Education gives schools access to premium AI models with better data protection. Coming soon, educators can share custom AI experts and students can generate personalized quizzes.
At this year’s International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) conference, we announced new AI solutions designed to help every learner and educator. Here’s a closer look at what’s new.
Gemini for Education is a version of the Gemini app built for the unique needs of the educational community. Built with Gemini 2.5 Pro, the world’s leading model for learning, Gemini for Education provides default access to our premium AI models, soon with significantly higher limits than what consumers get at no cost, plus enterprise-grade data protection and an admin-managed experience as a core Workspace service — all included in your Workspace for Education plan free of charge. This means educational institutions of all shapes and sizes can use cutting-edge AI with peace of mind that their data is protected by industry-leading security.
Today, we’re making Gemini in Classroom available to all Google Workspace for Education editions free of charge and launching more than 30 new capabilities to help teachers plan and differentiate faster, like generating vocabulary lists with definitions and example sentences.
Additionally, since we launched Gems in the Gemini app, educators have been creating their own AI experts, like an “Interactive Simulations” Gem grounded on course assignments and readings to engage students. They’ve been requesting the ability to share their custom AI experts with others, and we’ll be launching this capability in the coming months.
NotebookLM has become one of our fastest-growing apps in education, as educators and students 18+ turn to features like Audio Overviews to better understand their content and learn in new ways. In the coming weeks we’re rolling out Video Overviews, which let you turn your sources into engaging educational videos with the click of a button.
We’re also expanding capabilities for educators with a paid Google Workspace with Gemini add-on. Whether it’s for professional development or announcing a new STEM program, educators can now create 8-second videos with sound effects using Veo 3 in Google Vids. And rolling out now, Gemini in Forms can help create assessments and surveys faster than ever before. It can even generate a form based on a Doc, Slide deck or PDF from Drive and use Gemini to summarize form responses.
Students 18+ can now generate personalized quizzes for any subject using Gemini Canvas, so they can prepare for exams and test their understanding. This will be expanding to students under 18 in the coming weeks. Gemini will also soon provide visuals, like interactive diagrams, in its responses to help learners understand complex concepts more easily.
We’re also announcing teacher-led AI experiences for students, reflecting our continued efforts to provide more safe, responsible AI tools that also give students agency to learn in the ways that work best for them. In the coming months educators will be able to assign Gems and notebooks from NotebookLM grounded in their class materials directly to students in Google Classroom. We’re updating Gemini LTI so educators can also do this in PowerSchool Schoology Learning and Canvas by Instructure.
Earlier this year we announced we would be bringing Gemini to younger users with supervision tools and controls for parents and educators. We’ve consulted with child safety and development experts to help shape our content policies, partnered with learning science experts, tested with youth advisory panels and added extra data protection for all education users, meaning Google will not use data from chats to improve AI models. The Gemini app is now available to students of all ages and as a core Workspace service, and in the coming months we’re making NotebookLM available to students of all ages while using their Google Workspace for Education accounts to help them study and better understand their class materials.
Gemini has stricter content policies that help prevent potentially inappropriate or harmful responses for users under 18, as will NotebookLM when it becomes available to users under 18. Gemini includes a youth onboarding experience with AI literacy resources — endorsed by ConnectSafely and Family Online Safety Institute — and the first time a user asks a fact-based question, Gemini double-checks using Google Search to find content on the web that’s likely similar to or likely different to its responses. Educators can further teach AI literacy with this guide and lesson plan, and learn more themselves with no-cost courses designed for both K-12 and higher education.
To ensure schools are always in control, admins can manage who has access to the Gemini app and NotebookLM in the Admin console, search Gemini app conversations in their domain using Vault, and view usage reporting. And with Gemini in Google Workspace for Education recently being awarded the Common Sense Media Privacy Seal, admins can be confident their users’ data is protected when using Gemini.
