"When students began using ChatGPT for homework in late 2022, chatbots were widely seen as cheating tools to be banned or blocked. Now, across K-12 and higher education, that resistance is giving way to a broader acceptance that AI is here to stay - and that avoiding it could leave students unprepared for what comes next. That shift has created an opportunity the tech giants are racing to seize."
"New Gemini features include SAT practice tests vetted with The Princeton Review, NotebookLM integration for blended research, and Gemini-powered writing feedback via Khan Academy. Microsoft last Thursday rolled out free AI training and premium software for educators and college students, offering credentials and scenario-based tools to integrate AI into teaching - from reducing special education admin to teaching AI with Minecraft."
Early ChatGPT use prompted schools to block chatbots as cheating tools, but resistance in K-12 and higher education is shifting toward acceptance that AI is here to stay and that avoiding it could leave students unprepared. Tech companies are racing to provide tools and training at scale: Anthropic will reach more than 100,000 educators and 1.5 million students via a Teach For All partnership, Google expanded Gemini features including SAT practice and research tools, and Microsoft launched free AI training, credentials, and classroom integration tools. Educators remain skeptical due to past ed‑tech shortcomings, and teachers will help shape educational AI tools.
