Webinar: Working Smarter, Not Harder: Gemini in Google Classroom

Mid-October is one of the most demanding periods in the academic calendar. As workload stress peaks in the final weeks leading up to half-term, finding time to plan engaging lessons, create multi-tier differentiated resources, and construct detailed assessment rubrics can feel overwhelming.

Join us for this fast-paced, highly practical 30-minute webinar where we demystify Artificial Intelligence in education and show you how to harness Gemini directly within Google Classroom.

Rather than focusing on theoretical AI concepts, this session is grounded in immediate, real-world classroom workflows. You will discover how Gemini can act as your intelligent teaching assistant, helping you slash administrative workload, adapt learning content for diverse needs in seconds, and reclaim your valuable personal time before the break.

This session covers:

• Rapid Lesson & Resource Creation: How to prompt Gemini inside Google Classroom to generate tailored lesson outlines, starter activities, and discussion prompts instantly.
• Instant Rubric Development: How to build structured, clear assessment criteria and rubric frameworks in seconds to streamline grading.
• Seamless Differentiation: Techniques for adapting reading levels, scaffolding tasks for SEND students, and extending stretch-and-challenge tasks for high-attaining pupils.
• Safety, Privacy & UK Ethics: Clear, practical guidance on data privacy, safeguarding, and compliance with Department for Education (DfE) ethical guidelines for generative AI in schools.

This half-termly webinar is designed for school and MAT leaders who want to make confident decisions about cloud services and ensure they meet DfE standards.
