Make the most of the school year with new Chromebook features
Level up your teaching with AI on Chromebook Plus
Chromebook Plus is powerful enough for advanced workflows, with Google AI built in. These features are all rolling out in the next few weeks, along with admin controls for all generative AI features, available to anyone 18 and older.
- With Help me write* on Chromebook Plus, you can easily lean on Google for help creating differentiated content and materials for students with different needs and abilities. Just right-click on any text box and “Help me write” will offer suggestions to enhance your text. It can condense or add emojis, or even adjust the tone of your writing to be more formal.
- Discover new insights with Help me read*. This tool makes it easy for you to summarize PDFs, articles or websites with just a right-click. Ask follow-up questions to dive deeper into the content — and soon, you’ll be able to highlight specific sentences or paragraphs for clarification.
- With Live Translate*, you’ll be able to help learners understand content in their native language — or in the language they’re learning. Live Translate enables Google AI-translated captions in more than 100 languages on media streams, whether it’s a video you post to Classroom or a video in a research article online.
- The Quick Insert key, first coming to the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus, helps educators get what you need fast. Whether you’re looking for editing suggestions, URL linking or the ideal GIF to put in a Slide deck, a simple tap on the new keyboard button unveils a menu filled with helpful options. When using Quick Insert, you can include not only Drive files, but also local files like screenshots (a teacher favorite!) or images.
- We recently announced we’re bringing Gemini to Google Workspace for Education. With these tools, education leaders can get even more generative AI features built into Google Workspace for Education to help with lesson planning, content creation and more. If you purchase 25 or more Chromebook Plus devices, you qualify for promotions on Gemini for Workspace. Learn more in the one pager and website.
- Create voice recordings and audio content with the new Recorder app. Record voices for class projects, note-taking – and even podcasts – using built-in AI-powered voice recording on your Chromebook, with transcriptions built in. The Recorder app is available on all Chromebooks, but the AI-powered speaker identification and a summary of recorded content, along with noise cancellation, are only available on Chromebook Plus.
In May, we shared that many other new features would be coming – and they’re now rolling out through the end of the year. Take advantage of the Google Tasks and Calendar integrations to help you check and update your to-do lists and Classroom assignments from your Chromebook desktop.
