Google turns Gemini and Search off by default for K-12

Google says access to Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom, and Google Search will be entirely off for K-12 student accounts until school administrators explicitly turn them on. It will share rollout details with schools in the coming months so they can prepare. Separately, Google is adding Guided Learning to Search for student accounts, coaching step by step instead of giving a final answer, starting with a pilot in select US schools later this month. Guided Learning is already available globally in Google Classroom.
