To clarify, we pay for Education Plus membership and are using the free level of access that is protected and has recently been enabled. It was announced at ISTE last year and is now being rolled out for schools. I am not paying for the add-on service. The only caveat is that users are limited to 1000 "uses" a month. That is, a prompt is entered, a document is modified, etc. But not a bad way to regulate and encourage moderation in use.

For those who are paid Google schools, Gemini has now been released for K-12 students in a protected sandbox that will not send data to the LLM. Mine was turned on this week. THis will be our preferred platform for faculty and students going forward.

Hi All:
I have been researching products like FlintK12, MagicSchool, and SchoolAI that offer school wide AI tools specifically designed for schools. As a K-8 school we are mostly interested in AI literacy tools as well as AI tools designed to improve staff and faculty workflow. Does anybody have experience with this type of product. Looking for testimonials, recommendations, and/or cautionary tales. Thanks in advance.
