Writing Prompts: Gen AI with Gemini
Earlier in the year, we heard from lots of educators about how they were using Gemini and AI in the classroom. It’s a very exciting space to be working in and we’re sure there will be many more updates this term. This is a fast moving space and it can be hard to keep up with. Only a few months ago, this was multimodal AI…now with the launch of Project Astra, this is what it looks like!
For now, a key to making Generative AI useful is the ability to craft prompts. This video shared at Google I/O makes that clear. 
It is important to know that there is way more than cats images available. Here are some of our top prompts you could ask Geminito help get you through Term 2.
