Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool that can help teachers improve student learning. Google believes that AI can transform teaching and unlock the potential of students. For this reason, it is committed to developing it in a responsible and ethical manner, as they comment in their latest article.
We can read it on blog.google, where they comment that Google Classroom is an educational platform that has significantly improved collaboration between teachers and students.
Now, using AI, Google Classroom can personalize the learning experience for each student. The tool Practice Sets uses AI to transform existing teaching content into interactive assignments and provide personalized support. Teachers can add questions to their practices and receive suggestions to focus on specific skills. Based on the selected skills, students will receive helpful hints if they are having difficulties. Additionally, teachers will be able to add interactive questions to YouTube videos in Classroom, so students can respond with real-time feedback, and educators can gain insight into student performance.
As students work on an assignment, Practice Sets provide real-time encouragement and hints if they get stuck along the way.
Chromebooks, Chrome and Workspace
Teamwork and accessibility are essential in today’s education, and for this Google has launched tools to improve collaboration in Docs, Sheets and Slides. Now teachers can save time with custom building blocks and facilitate timed activities and soon, voting systems, all within Docs. In addition, Google is working on updates to Slides and Meet, adding co-presentation in Slides and AI-powered raise hand gesture detection in Meet.
Google is expanding the range of Chromebooks to meet the needs of students and teachers. Adding features like larger screens, touch screens, and integrated stylus enhance collaboration across devices. They are also adding more moderation controls for casting, like the ability to pause the screen during the presentation or switch tabs.
Google is also building accessibility features right into its educational tools so every student can access information in a way that works for them. For students with reading disabilities like dyslexia, Google is building a reading mode that reduces distracting elements on the screen, such as images and videos, to help students focus on the main content of the page.
