Innovation moves fast—but in education, strategy must come first. With Workspace Extensions (BETA) in the Gemini App, schools have the potential to expand functionality through AI-powered integrations. However, until a clear AI strategy is established, it’s best to keep this setting unchecked. Doing so helps prevent unregulated app access and protects student and staff data from potential vulnerabilities.

For school technology directors, a cautious approach ensures that when extensions are eventually introduced, they align with curriculum goals, compliance standards, and security policies. A well-structured rollout guarantees that AI tools enhance—not disrupt—learning environments.

At Get Set Tech, we guide schools in building responsible AI frameworks. By waiting until policies and safeguards are in place, schools can adopt new technologies confidently, ensuring innovation always serves education safely and effectively.
