Summary
Google made Guided Learning available worldwide in Google Classroom and said select U.S. schools will begin testing the feature in Search later this month.
The AI tool is designed to coach students through problems with open-ended prompts and step-by-step support instead of delivering direct answers, aiming to preserve “productive struggle.”
In Classroom, teacher-assigned Guided Learning activities are tied to class materials and give educators real-time visibility into where students or whole classes need extra help.
Google also said Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom and Search will be off by default for K-12 student accounts until school administrators explicitly enable them.
The changes reflect Google’s broader push to expand AI in schools while addressing concerns from educators, researchers and policymakers about oversight and misuse.
