Use Gemini in Google Classroom to generate questions or a quiz based on specific text

What’s changing  Earlier this year, we introduced the ability to generate vocabulary lists with the help of Gemini in Google Classroom. Today, we’re adding a text-dependent question generation tool to further our efforts for AI to help educators save time, create captivating learning experiences, and inspire creativity.  Educators can select a Google Drive file or manually input text, select which skills they want students to demonstrate, then generate questions to assess grade-specific comprehension and critical reasoning skills of students. Once generated, educators can then export the questions to a Google Form or Google Doc to assign to students. This new option can be particularly useful in a variety of scenarios, such as creating an exit ticket or a quiz to check students’ understanding.
