Streamlining rubric generation in Google Classroom with Gemini

To make it easier to create rubrics and grade in Google Classroom, educators can now instantly generate a new Classroom-ready rubric during their assignment creation workflow, using context from their assignment.

With this update, there will now be multiple ways to create and use rubrics in Classroom:

• [New] Draft relevant Classroom rubrics from the assignment creation page: Within the “Rubrics” section, generate a new Classroom-ready rubric with help from Gemini based on their assignment. Educators can review and edit the proposed rubric criteria before adding it to the assignment, saving valuable prep time.
• Convert existing rubrics files from the assignment creation page: Within the “Rubrics” section, educators can select an existing rubric they have and instantly convert it to a Classroom-ready rubric.

Note: This feature is only available for users over age 18.

Gemini in Google Classroom is expanding to users of all ages, with contextualized Gemini starter prompts for students

Last year, we launched Gemini in Google Classroom to help educators save time on planning and create more engaging lessons, and later expanded Gemini in Classroom to higher education students 18 years of age and older to help them study and learn. Starting August 10, 2026, Gemini in Classroom will also be made available to K-12 and higher education students of all ages who have already been granted access to Gemini in Classroom, Gemini and Gemini Notebook by their admin, offering a guided space to interact with these tools.

In Classroom, students can access the Gemini tab to transform their class materials into interactive experiences that help them study and learn. For example, students who have access to Gemini can select course materials to create flashcards or practice quizzes with Gemini that are tailored to their class. Students with Gemini Notebook access can also sync the materials provided by their teacher to Gemini Notebook, enabling them to create interactive study guides, audio overviews, infographics, and more.

Additionally, starter prompts on the student Gemini tab can now use context from Classroom to tailor Gemini interactions specifically to students’ schoolwork. This update transforms the existing starter prompts into highly contextualized experiences, eliminating the need to go back and forth between Classroom and Gemini to get support relevant to what they’re learning in the classroom.

When a student clicks on one of these starter prompts, a new box now appears that allows them to select a specific class and assignment. The Gemini prompt will then incorporate the relevant title, assignment instructions, and curriculum materials as context directly from Google Classroom, ensuring that the resulting interaction is grounded in the student’s academic context.

If Gemini in Classroom and the Gemini app are enabled, students will also be able to access “Learn with Gemini” when they hover over any assignment in “Due Soon” on the redesigned Classroom homepage. “Learn with Gemini” helps students get guided help or create study guides, practice quizzes, and flashcards – all based on their class curriculum.

Access to the Gemini tab in Classroom is currently available globally in all Classroom-supported languages in which Gemini is also available.

Getting started

Admins:

• Access to the Gemini tab in Classroom is On by default for teachers and students of all ages, and is controlled using the Gemini in Classroom control. If Gemini in Classroom is currently turned off for students, access will remain off for all students, including students younger than 18.
• As an administrator of your organization’s Google Accounts, you can control who is allowed to use Gemini in Google Classroom. The student capabilities are only available to users:
  • Whose role is defined as “Student” in Classroom
  • Who are in a group or OU with Gemini in Classroom set to On
  • Who are in a group or OU with Gemini Notebook set to On and/or Gemini set to On

Note: Users do not need to have both the Gemini app and Gemini Notebook set to On in order to see the Gemini tab. For example, if Gemini is set to Off, Gemini features will not be visible.

• If you would like to disable Gemini in Google Classroom for users who are under 18 years old, you can create an OU with only those users and turn off access for that OU only. Visit the Help Center to learn about managing access to Gemini in Classroom, Gemini app, Gemini Notebook, and the option to turn these services on or off for users in your Admin console.
• Ensure roles in Classroom are appropriately assigned to users. Learn more about teacher and student roles.

• Navigate to the Gemini tab in the navigation bar in Google Classroom.
• When using generated content, you should always review the outputs as AI can make mistakes and refine the output so that it fits your context and local policies.
• Visit the Help Center to learn more about Gemini in Classroom and learn more about how to use generative AI for students.

Rollout pace

• Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Full rollout (1–3 days for feature visibility) starting on August 10, 2026, on the web and on August 17, 2026 on mobile

5 ways to build a side hustle with Gemini

Here are five ways to use Gemini to automate tasks and make your passion project profitable.

Searches for “start a business” hit an all-time high in the U.S. this year. Luckily, launching a business often no longer requires a massive budget or months of planning. With Gemini, you can turn an idea into income, automating complex tasks and kickstarting your growth from day one.

Here are five ways to make your passion project a profitable business:

1. Take your idea from a dream to a business plan.

Starting a business often begins with a single idea, but managing the messy explosion of thoughts that follows can be tough. Instead of scattering your notes across different places, brain dump your idea into a notebook in the Gemini app. Process your thoughts out loud, then add links, files, and other reference materials. Gemini will structure your vision, creating a central command center that grows alongside your business.

As your side hustle grows, graduate to business notebooks — a centralized hub to organize workflows and chats alongside your website and Google Business Profile. Grounded in your context, Gemini proactively surfaces critical action items, like unanswered customer questions, and recommends tailored updates to keep you ahead.

2. Research your market in minutes.

Gemini’s Deep Research feature compresses hours of work into minutes. (Think of it like a personal research assistant.) Ask it to generate a report on your competitors or markets you can target. It can browse hundreds of sources, track down facts and synthesize emerging trends, giving you professional analysis in a snap.

3. Define your brand aesthetic.

Use Gemini to build a standout brand on any budget. Drop your products into high-end backdrops, craft eye-catching typography, or make your own cinematic video ads. You’ll have consistent, professional-grade visuals for web pages and social posts in seconds.

Connect apps like Canva to use the assets you made in Gemini in creative layouts or social drafts without switching workspaces. You can also use Pomelli from Google Labs to build your core Business DNA, and use this to create a comprehensive brand book or stand up a complete website in just a few clicks.

4. Put your logistics on autopilot.

Drop your sales data, traffic logs, or social stats into Gemini to see what’s actually working. Ask it which products are driving profits, when customers are most active and where you can trim costs to save money.

Gemini Spark acts as your personal AI agent that runs in the background 24/7 — even when your laptop and phone are turned off. Instead of logging data manually, you can connect your tools and apps and let Spark handle the heavy lifting. For example, you can set an ongoing instruction, like: “Whenever I get an email asking about my services, automatically extract the client’s details, store them in my ‘Client Tracker’ Google Sheet, and create a new dedicated folder for them in Google Drive.”

Gemini Spark is available to Google AI Ultra subscribers globally.

5. Know when your price is right.

Pricing your services correctly is essential when you’re getting ready to launch. Use Gemini to simplify the upfront math: Input your material costs, platform fees, and shipping expenses to find your break-even point, then ask it to model different pricing tiers to see how they impact your projected revenue.

Once your business is up and running, you can transform your decisions by grounding them in real data. Just upload your spreadsheets to Gemini to uncover hidden trends, generate personalized recommendations, and build a custom, interactive tool that helps you visualize the impact of potential decisions on your bottom line.
