Google launches new AI tools for students and teachers

Google has just announced at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) conference the launch of new artificial intelligence tools and solutions designed to help students and teachers.

Gemini for Education is a version of the Gemini application "built for the unique needs of the educational community". Developed with Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini for Education provides -as Google has explained on its blog- default access to the company's premium AI models (with significantly higher limits than free consumers and enterprise-level data protection).

Specifically, Gemini in Classroom is now available in all Google Workspace for Education editions for free. It includes more than 30 new capabilities or options that help teachers plan their classes with new tools and students learn more efficiently.

One that is experiencing superior adoption in the world of education is NotebookLM, which in the coming weeks will add Video Overviews to its already popular Audio Overviews, which will allow creating educational videos very easily.

Magnificent Reuters interactive on the effects of heat in urban environments

These past weeks have seen a strong heat wave in different places in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet.

In urban environments, the air temperatures that we consult and that weather applications, thermometers or media offer us are, in reality, much higher if we talk about the temperature of asphalt, cars or the so-called urban heat islands.

Mariano Zafra, from the Reuters Graphics team, has published an excellent interactive visual report in which he analyzes and explains what these temperature differences are and the risks they pose to people's health.

It is one more of the magnificent graphic works produced by the Reuters Graphics team, available on their website.

McKinsey launches an AI chatbot to consult their content 

One of the uses that media and companies around the world have started to make of generative artificial intelligence is the creation of AI chatbots that answer user questions based solely on their own content, published by that media or that company. 

This is the case of the consulting firm McKinsey, whose extensive content team at McKinsey Global Publishing has recently developed and launched, in beta phase, the Ask McKinsey chatbot. 

It is a pilot project that offers generative AI answers to questions that users want to ask based on content published by McKinsey on the digital world, AI, technology, media and telecommunications. New topics will be added in the near future. The summaries that Ask McKinsey offers provide footnotes of all the original sources cited, as well as a complete list of references, so that users can verify the accuracy of the answers. The Ask McKinsey chatbot can be used for free with prior user registration
