Back to school: ten new AI features that are changing teachers' daily lives

Classroom context injected into Gemini, learning coach in Copilot, K-12 extension at OpenAI: the assistant ceases to be a site that you visit to become a workspace that knows the course.

The overview published for the U.S. school year identifies the most concrete developments in AI tools for teachers. At Google, Gemini can now rely on Classroom content as a context: course title, duty instructions, teaching materials, in addition to personalized revision aids and duplicate notebooks.

Microsoft also advances a learning coach for students and a sequence planner for teachers, with rules of practice. OpenAI offers an extension dedicated to primary and secondary education for resource production, expands its free access and declines a version for teenagers.

The most notable move is not a particular feature, according to the bilingual teacher of CE1 Alex Luciano, quoted in the article: it is the transition from a tool that we will consult to a working environment that understands the context in which we find ourselves.
