For my own use, I find Gems (as well as the GPT equivalent) to be a bit too rigid. That being said, there are some powerful uses. I created a gem that our IT team and I use to vet resources - reading Privacy Policy/ Terms of Service/ etc., and considering FERPA & COPPA regulations, data privacy, etc. We have also shared a gem with our teachers created by the awesome Eric Hudson (check out...

In my context, I’ve found Gems most useful in a few ways with students. One is a guided thinking partner for specific stages of learning, such as brainstorming, refining ideas, checking understanding, or getting feedback on a draft. I frame the Gem as part of the process, not the whole task. That way, students still need to show their own thinking through shared docs, checkpoints, class...

This website is a goldmine! Thanks for sharing it here.This makes the idea of building Gems feel so much more approachable for everyone. It would be a perfect starting point for anyone looking to experiment with Gems.

Hi - have you tried Brisk Boost for this? Works well and you are in a secure Brisk Eco-system - the boosts can easily be shared

After getting teachers excited about how to use Gems and Notebooks in Google Classroom with their students, I only recently discovered that even though you can push Gems out in Google Classroom, the students cannot access those Gems unless Gemini is completely unlocked for them to access on a school network. We have resisted unmitigated access to LLMs like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude in favor...

I'm in the exact same boat! I've brought it up when meeting with Google, as we're a Google Workspace EDU Plus district, and that's my sticking point as well. Glad to hear we're on the same page!

i have heard that gemini might be opening up to some schools in Scotland and part of me of really excited by it but part of me has the fear. I use SchoolAI at the moment if I want to put a class on a chatbot and having that teacher moderator screen is so useful. Even my students have said that they like knowing I can see everything. Still wary of putting them on something like gemini with no...

We have Copilot enabled for students 13+ at our school, and I have been working with the Computer Science department to develop a few lessons on how students can make and use their own Agents in Copilot for schoolwork at home. This has been great as teachers have been able to help them prompt the Agent afterwards to model how they can be used properly. We even went through a few scenarios of...

We have held off using with students because of the safety factors around the DfE Gen AI product safety standards. I understand Google are working on this but a teacher facing dashboard like you get with Brisk Boost is really essential in my view.
