Google's Free AI-Powered Tools for the Classroom

If you teach at a school with Google tools, you probably have a powerful AI assistant right at your fingertips — Google Gemini. (Your students might, too.)

But what can it really do?

In the matter of a few seconds, teachers AND students can create personalized helpers — just using the conversational language you use every day.

That’s right. No coding. No special training.

In this Spotlight Sponsor Session with Google for Education, watch as Clay creates a Gem — one of Google Gemini’s custom chatbots — with messy language and spelling like this:

“Hey i’m strugglign with Math, and it’s quadratic equations. I just don’t get it. I need some help. my teacher said I should put this in here and tell it what I like. so I like cars and playing games. but I like fast race cars. help?”

Seriously. That was his prompt. See the results — and how you and your students can start using this right away.

Stronger AI Literacy, Teaching AND Learning in Any Class with Matt Miller

There’s lots of talk right now about AI literacy — equipping students with the skills and knowledge they need to survive and thrive in a world full of AI.

But how does that show up in the classroom … in a regular classroom, like high school English or middle school science or fourth grade?

I have good news …

We CAN teach students AI literacy in any class — and it can actually help us teach our core content more effectively and efficiently. (AKA: Not “just another thing on my plate.”)

In this new session, you get ME! I share lots of practical ideas and sneak peeks into my new book, AI Literacy in Any Class. This is the most comprehensive presentation on the ideas from my new book that I’ve done yet.

The book isn’t ready quite yet (estimated January 2026, I hope!). But this presentation will get you started and give you lots of new ideas!

PS: There’s even a part of this session where I talk about how I used AI to write the book — my own practical application of AI literacy as an author!
