Google Gemini is now available to all staff in Google Workspace via Glow. This guide covers how to log in and how to report access issues.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is Google Gemini?<\/h2>\n
\n

Gemini from Google is a generative AI tool that can answer a range of questions and compose content in a variety of formats. It is accessible via a web browser with a user being required to sign in before accessing the service. Users enter requests in the form of a prompt and will be presented with the results. You can learn more about Gemini on this page<\/a> on Glow Connect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Please note that Google Gemini is an 18+ service<\/strong> and is only available to staff within Glow in Falkirk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Gemini is still under development. You should review any information it provides before presenting it to your learners and ensure that you have read our AI in Education: Guiding Principles and Practice<\/a> page before using it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘Something went wrong’ error and fix<\/h2>\n
\n

Glow are aware of an error that can sometimes appear when trying to use Gemini for the first time. The ‘Something went wrong’ error looks like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To fix this you should report the error to the Falkirk Digital Learning Team using this Google form<\/a> – we will use this form to raise a ticket with RM to resolve the issue. Please note that the current solution involves deletion of your Glow Google account and all associated data. It does not<\/strong> impact your Glow Microsoft account or data. As this appears to be happening to first time users of Google Workspace for Education within Glow you will be unlikely to have any files or data stored in your account but please check before you submit the form.<\/p>\n

You can also use this QR code to access the form:
