Gemini in Google Classroom is now available in all Classroom-supported languages

Last year, we launched Gemini in Google Classroom in English to support educators with planning and creating engaging lessons, and to help students in higher education to study and learn. Starting this week, we’re beginning to expand availability to all Classroom-supported languages in which Gemini is also available. This expansion makes Gemini tools in Classroom increasingly accessible to educators and higher education students whose preferred language is now supported.

In the Gemini tab in Classroom, educators can get help creating and adapting resources, based on learning objectives, starting with the following features:

  • Outline a lesson plan
  • Generate a quiz
  • Write an informational text
  • Tackle common misconceptions
  • Translate text
More content generation features will become available in these languages in the coming weeks.

Educators can also collaborate with Gemini using starter prompts for the Gemini app that help with common tasks like:

  • Brainstorming real world examples
  • Gamifying an activity
  • Generating differentiation strategies
  • Drafting an exemplar and non-exemplar
  • Creating Depth of Knowledge (DOK) questions

Higher education students using the Gemini tab can:

  • Learn about a topic: Get personalized and step-by-step explanations with Guided Learning.
  • Take a quiz: Prepare for upcoming exams by testing your knowledge and getting hints and feedback.
  • Make flashcards: Turn class materials into custom flashcards for extra practice.
  • Create a study guide: Make a study guide about a certain topic, or upload class materials for more personalized resources.
