ChatGPT and Google Gemini: Many of us are very familiar with ChatGPT. But if it’s all you’ve been using, it might be time to put others on your radar, like Gemini. Google’s version of ChatGPT. What makes Gemini special? In addition to the “normal” stuff like asking questions and generating images or files, what makes it unique? It comes with built-in data privacy protection, which doesn’t sound exciting, but is important for educators. If you’re using a school account, the data is covered by the same agreement Google uses for its other education tools. Data is not reviewed by anyone or used for advertising purposes and is not shared with other users. It’s also COPPA, FERPA, and HIPPA compliant. Gemini also includes something called Deep Research–a free feature that lets users conduct in-depth research on any subject. Also check out Gemini Gems and Gemini Apps.

It also can create an audio overview of the content.
