Big thanks again for walking us through the new stuff again. Every year I do a similar livestream, just for our district. I announced student groups there last year around this time as well. Everyone very happy. Hope it is finally going to happen soon now.

Let's hope these features show up soon! I don't like when they re-announce features rather than just releasing them!
Have you got any more information about the guardian summaries, I can't find anything (even on the Google for Education groups). It's so crucial and such a missing feature for parents to be able to see what with is set.
God bless you
Responding to your question about giving AI access to students through Gemini--I wouldn't, because I don't think they've been exposed to AI enough to use it responsibly. If this were 2-3 years from now, and students had already been using a tool that provides more scaffolding (along the lines of what MagicSchool is offering), then I could understand broadening AI use as sort of a "next level" because they would've already been introduced to it with more parameters. But right now, with no teacher dashboard or ability to oversee easily at the classroom level, I think it'd be a hard sell to most non-tech teachers.
