🚫 Some Google tools disappeared from student accounts in the spring.
🧭 Translate, Maps, Earth, Arts & Culture, and more now require parent permission.
✅ Docs, Slides, Drive, and Classroom are still fine.

Great read 📖 “We can put up firewalls. We can use AI detectors. We can try to outwit them with digital traps. But these are temporary fixes to a long-term shift.” #aiedu
"Did you use AI?"
Not always the best first question.
Try: “How did you start this assignment?”
“What tools helped you brainstorm?”
These small shifts can open big conversations about AI in the classroom 💬 #EduSky #AiEDU #EdTech
