We have Google Education Fundamentals and I believe that we should be able to access Gemini in the side panel of Docs, Sheets, etc. I do not see it and I cannot figure out why. I've enabled everything I think I need to enable in Google admin. I can get to Gemini.google.com and Notebook LM. Am I missing a setting or licensing necessary for the side panel?

Hey all,

Just came home from the Chicago Champions Symposium. It was seriously one of the best experiences I've had since becoming a teacher.

In one of the sessions I learned that there is a digital literacy class for students, and it didn't sound at all like Applied Digital Skills. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I teach Digital Literacy and would love to start the year with this course for my kiddos. Thanks!

Michelle so glad you got to go to the Chicago Symposium!! I was living through everyone's posts online.  I am going to the Madrid Symposium.  Be internet Awesome Understanding AI foundational AI literacy for grades 2nd to 8th.  I got a few of the books when I was at ISTE I was searching online to see if I could find a PDF form of it and wasn't able to. I'm going to reach out and see if there is one. If not I can mail you one. I have an extra.

Judy,

Thank you so much! This is such a huge help. I'm sure Madrid will be fantastic. I wish I could go to all of them!

The side panel in Drive, Docs, Sheets... is only available with the paid Gemini add-on.

Good Catch Arlin!  I was thinking it was for the Google Classroom piece.
