Introducing the Educator’s Blueprint for Leveraging AI in the Classroom.

Google's AI Curriculum Integration Framework offers a pedagogy-first road-map for integrating AI tools by shifting the focus from the technology itself to the competencies for students to develop. It focuses on building deep understanding and essential competencies, keeping the human element at the heart of the educational experience.

This framework is an invitation to experiment and reinvent your curriculum, unlocking new levels of creativity and critical thinking for your students.

Our "Human-in-the-Loop" Philosophy

This approach ensures the technology supports learning, while ensuring learners and educators stay firmly in the driver’s seat.

  • Students as Decision-Makers: Learners act as the primary critical thinkers and final decision-makers in every activity.
  • AI as a Collaborative Partner: Technology is used to generate options, highlight patterns, or provide instant feedback to accelerate and enhance the learning process.
  • Active Empowerment: By guiding the process and evaluating AI outputs, students move from being passive users to active, empowered digital citizens.

The "Think, Make, Lead" Structure

The framework is organized into three pillars: Think, Make, and Lead. Each category contains three durable skill concepts designed to prepare students for an AI-augmented future.

For every concept, the blueprint provides:

  • High-Level Learning Goals: The overarching purpose of using AI to build a specific competency.
  • Learning Outcomes: The measurable skills students will walk away with.
  • AI Integration Affordances: A clear look at how AI uniquely supports a student’s capacity to learn.
  • AI Tool Suggestions: Practical categories of AI tools that align with the goal.

How to Use the Blueprint

Integration is a simple, three-step process:

    1. Identify the Learning Goal: Start with the specific skill you want to teach.
    2. Design the Activity: Create a student-centered experience where AI supports the process without dominating it.
    3. Select the Tool: Use the framework’s "AI Affordances" to find a tool category that fits your specific needs.

    Embrace the spirit of experimentation and exploration and discover how this framework offers exciting opportunities to reinvent your curriculum and empower students for the future of learning!
