Earlier this month, Google rebranded Bard as Gemini. The reason they did that isn't very important (presumably so they could monetize it better). The important thing is that you know that Gemini offers the same functionality as Bard. On that note, here are some Gemini features that are useful for teachers and students.
Write outlines and export them to Google Docs
Give Gemini a prompt like “describe the causes of the American Revolution in terms that elementary school students understand” and he'll give you a summary. That outline could be useful for creating a more detailed outline with your students or for outlining your lesson plans on the topic. You can export the outline that Gemini creates to Google Docs, where you can easily edit it to your needs. That process and more is demonstrated here.
Summarize a video
On the topic of outlines, many YouTube videos now have chapter designations added automatically. Those chapters are useful for creating an outline or summary of a video. You can get a more detailed summary by placing a YouTube link in Gemini and asking it to create a summary. Gemini will then create a written summary of the words spoken in a video. Take a look at this video to see that process.
Create video quizzes
Gemini will create test questions based on any block of text you provide. That includes transcriptions of YouTube videos. Simply take the transcript of a YouTube video, put it into Gemini, and then give a prompt like “create multiple choice questions about the following text.” If you're not sure where to find a YouTube video transcript or want to see the entire process from start to finish, watch this demo.
