Information for Staff

1. You may have noticed that there is a new icon at the top of your Gmail - Studio.

This is an AI powered tool to help with your workflow. An example is that it may provide a summary of your unread emails, or auto-add any email attachments to your Google drive.

2. For those of you who are Gemini AI users, then check out the 'tools' - 'Guided learning' feature. This acts like a Socratic guide and is a great tool for students to work with when studying. Have a go at putting in an NCEA question. It will help unpack the question for the students and they ask questions and then give feedback on the answer. Next questions are askes to help unpack the detail needed.

3. In Gemini - if you put '@' before an app, it connects to your grail, docs etc. This means it can search through and find information quickly. Try @gmail or @docs and follow this with the information you want to find, or summarise.
