I'm keeping this month's instructional tech newsletter short and sweet. Here are two AI tools that are available for you to use. 

Chat with Google Gemini

You now have access to chat with Google Gemini! πŸŽ‰ Gemini is a form of generative AI, similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Microsoft’s Copilot. However, Gemini offers added data protection, meaning your interactions with the AI model are not used to train it. 

  • πŸ”—Link to access Gemini: Go to gemini.google.com, and sign in with your district Google account. 
  • πŸŽ₯ Watch this video to learn how to use Gemini
  • πŸ“• Read this guidance sheet to support your use with Gemini 

Diffit Premium: Diffit is an AI-powered tool that helps teachers create differentiated learning activities. By using texts, links, PDFs, or YouTube videos, teachers can generate standards-aligned content tailored to various grade levels, supporting the diverse learning needs of all students. Use the link below to access a premium account to Diffit for the remainder of the school year. 

πŸ”” Reminder: If you use GoGuardian Teacher Sessions and have them set to run automatically, don’t forget to cancel these sessions during spring break. 

  • πŸ“… Action Needed: Cancel sessions scheduled for March 24-28.
