Google turns its school AI defaults off, and Search goes with them
Google will switch Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom and Google Search off by default for K-12 student accounts, leaving administrators to opt each service in. The company paired the change with Guided Learning, a step-by-step tutoring mode that arrives in Classroom globally and in a Search pilot at selected U.S. schools this month. Because AI features now sit inside Search, a school that wants no AI also gives up student Search, a trade-off critics seized on.
