EDT128 Google Gemini for Education

Google announced Gemini for Education. In this episode, I break
it all down, from Deep Research and Gemini Canvas to Gems, Gemini
Live, and more. I also discuss the difference between the paid
and free versions as well as the admin controls and privacy
features in it. Plus, in the soapbox moment, I dig into the
importance of growth mindset, perseverance, and what we can all
learn from the Learning Pit.
