    The Google AI Tools Already Built Into Your Classroom

    Teachers returned this fall to a set of powerful new AI tools built right into the Google Workspace they already use every day. Tom Driscoll and Brandon Hall open Season 3 with a practical tour of what's worth your time: Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM), custom Gems, Canvas mode for building classroom games with no coding experience, the new Gemini tools inside Google Classroom, and Workspace Studio for automating the busywork. Along the way, hear how an eighth grader built a car maintenance bot in ten minutes, and why one teacher set up a "red pen" Gem to tear apart her lesson ideas before her students do. Plus: a preview of this season's new formats, two free Google AI Educator Series webinars (October 8 and October 20) where you can earn badges live, and our first community shoutouts, to Wolcott College Prep in Chicago and Neil Sonnenberg of Medfield Public Schools.
