Big thanks again for walking us through the new stuff again. Every year I do a similar livestream, just for our district. I announced student groups there last year around this time as well. Everyone very happy. Hope it is finally going to happen soon now.
Have you got any more information about the guardian summaries, I can't find anything (even on the Google for Education groups). It's so crucial and such a missing feature for parents to be able to see what with is set.
Not much. This blog post contains the announcement: blog.google/outreach-initiatives/education/workspace-gemini-classroom-iste-2024/ This is one of the "coming soon" updates.
Why would I not see the AI-Generated questions when I create a TH-cam video assignment? Our district is paying for the top tier of Google for Education. Does that feature need to be enabled by our admin?
Read Along is an educational service that helps young students learn to read. Google Play Books is a digital book store, like Kindle, for Android devices.
Responding to your question about giving AI access to students through Gemini--I wouldn't, because I don't think they've been exposed to AI enough to use it responsibly. If this were 2-3 years from now, and students had already been using a tool that provides more scaffolding (along the lines of what MagicSchool is offering), then I could understand broadening AI use as sort of a "next level" because they would've already been introduced to it with more parameters. But right now, with no teacher dashboard or ability to oversee easily at the classroom level, I think it'd be a hard sell to most non-tech teachers.

Let's hope these features show up soon! I don't like when they re-announce features rather than just releasing them!

You need a license assigned to your account. They aren't automatically assigned.
I can not find bulk grading. Can you help with that?
