  Aug 17, 202640 min

  #254: Google Classroom got a whole lot of updates this summer, and in episode 253 I promised I'd come back and go deeper. This is that episode. I'm walking through the redesigned homepage, how to build and assign a Gemini Notebook or a Gem right from Classwork, the new AI rubric generation, and the learning goals tracking that quietly showed up in your gradebook.

In this episode, you'll learn: What actually changed on the new Classroom homepage, and why yours may look different from mine How to assign a Gemini Notebook or a Gem straight from the Classwork page How to build a Study partner Gem from a unit doc you already have (this week's AI Tip) How to generate a brand new rubric from inside the assignment creation page How to track learning goals and see student performance by standard What the student Gemini tab means now that it's open to all ages, and what you can't monitor The three questions to send your admin before you plan a single lesson around this ⭐ Full show notes and links: https://shakeuplearning.com/254 ⭐ Gemini AI in Google Classroom masterclass: https://shakeuplearning.com/geminimaster Want PD credit for this session?
