Teachmeet fans - keep an eye out, we've got an announcement to make later this week #teachmeet #teachmeet20

Still not sure where to start with AI? You're not alone.

Three prompts worth trying this week:

1. Five multiple choice questions on any topic, in 15 seconds
2. A chunk of text simplified for lower readers, without doing it by hand
3. That awkward parent email, drafted before you've finished your coffee

One tool. Already on your Google account. No setup needed.

AI will not write a good science lesson for you. It will write a plausible-looking lesson that may contain errors your pupils cannot spot. That is a different problem from the one most people are discussing.

If you keep retyping the same AI prompts, Google Gemini Gems can fix that. Write your instructions once, attach your files, save it, share it with colleagues. Here's how to set one up.
