Google Classroom turns 10, and it’s got new AI-powered presents for everyone
  • Read Along in Classroom is expanding its AI-based tools to new languages.
  • Gemini to Classroom will be soon be available worldwide to help teachers create inspiring new lessons.
  • Parents are getting new ways to keep themselves informed of upcoming assignments for their students.

Yesterday’s big Made by Google event may have launched the new Pixel 9 series, but the real star of the show had to be the company’s latest AI-powered services. From Pixel Studio’s image generation to tools for research, it feels like Google’s got an AI solution for almost everything. Today, the company’s sharing some news about its latest improvements to Google Classroom, including — you guessed it — ways AI can help teachers and students alike.

Parents and guardians are getting new tools to stay on top of students’ upcoming assignments through their Classwork pages. They can also sign up for email digests, summarizing what students will be working on. Google already introduced the AI-powered Read Along in Classroom for students who need some extra help with their reading skills. And while that was initially just available in English, Google shares its plans to expand that to Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese in the weeks to come.
