Course Description

Specialisation: Gemini and the Google Suite is a platform-specific deep dive for schools that use Google Workspace for Education. As Google integrates Gemini AI across its entire product suite, educators need practical training in what these tools can do and how to use them effectively.

This course covers Gemini’s capabilities within Google Docs (drafting, editing, summarising), Google Sheets (formula generation, data analysis), Google Slides (image generation, layout suggestions), Gmail (smart compose, summarisation), and Google Classroom (feedback assistance, rubric generation).

Participants work through hands-on exercises tailored to common teaching and administrative tasks. The course also addresses Google’s data handling practices, admin console settings for AI features, and how schools can configure Gemini to align with their AI governance policies.

This specialisation is ideal for schools seeking to maximise the AI tools already embedded in the platforms they use daily, ensuring educators are confident and capable users of Google’s AI ecosystem.

What you will learn

  • How to use Gemini within Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and Gmail to draft, edit, analyse and summarise information more efficiently.
  • How to streamline everyday teaching and administrative workflows using Gemini across the Google Workspace environment.
  • How to create lesson materials, feedback and classroom resources using AI features embedded in Google Classroom and Workspace tools.
  • How to understand and manage Google’s AI settings, data practices and admin controls when using Gemini in school environments.

Designed for Real Classrooms

Every strategy in this course has been tested in schools navigating real constraints: time, governance, workload and accountability. This is not theory. It is applied practice.

From Curiosity to Capability

AI experimentation is easy. Sustained capability is not. Educator Intelligence helps schools move from isolated exploration to shared professional judgement.
