Google brings Gemini to all Workspace for Education subscribers by David Uzondu Google has announced that its Gemini app is now accessible to all Google Workspace for Education users, regardless of age. This brings the company's generative AI directly into the suite of tools used by millions of students and teachers. The Workspace for Education platform, if you did not know, already provides a massive suite of tools like Classroom, Docs, and Drive, which are designed to work together in a school setting. Naturally, the first question on any administrator's mind is what the company plans to do with student data. Google states that Gemini usage for these accounts falls under the Workspace for Education Terms of Service. This agreement includes "enterprise-grade data protections" and a promise that user data is not reviewed by anyone or used to train the company's AI models. It also maintains compliance with regulations like FERPA and COPPA, which are fundamental requirements for any technology operating in United States schools. The experience is not one-size-fits-all, particularly for younger students. Users under the age of 18 will get a more restricted version of the app, with stricter content filters to prevent inappropriate responses and a dedicated onboarding process to teach AI literacy. To reduce the likelihood of hallucinations, the first time a younger user asks a fact-based question, a double-check feature that validates the answer using Google Search runs automatically. For educators and older students, the AI can be used to brainstorm ideas, create lesson plans, and get feedback on work. The entire service is powered by what Google calls LearnLM, a family of its AI models supposedly fine-tuned for educational purposes. Access is not mandatory, as administrators can still control which users or groups can use the Gemini app through their admin console. This rollout applies to institutions using the free Education Fundamentals, the security-focused Standard, and the feature-rich Plus editions, making it widely available immediately. -

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's a f-ing bomb!! This is why real rocket scientists don't base their designs on 1930's Flash Gordon comics... -

There seems to be a few small changes that they're making, and I think this is a good thing. While this stuff isn't ground breaking, it is important, and I think Windows has missed this polish for the past 10 odd years. Personally I wouldn't care for moving it anywhere else other than where it is but I am very grateful that they did change it from that stupid Windows 8 one!

Question
zingysaturn
I bought Macromedia Studio 8 (Education) version through an exam board (edexcel) i'm doing a Macromedia related course through for ?60. I got my Education licence from Macromedia and installed everything. It worked without a hitch, except for Flash Video Encoder...
Whenever I run the icon, Windows Install pops up asking for the MSI file to install it. When I locate it, it tells me there was a "Fatal Error During Install". I tried reinstalling and repairing it, but it still won't run!! :cry::
Is it a problem with my computer, or is Video Encoder just not included in the education version?
Thanks in advance
