中文导读 美国中小学大量使用谷歌 Classroom 与搜索。2026年11月3日，谷歌宣布：明年年初起，K-12 学生账号的 Gemini 系列与谷歌搜索将默认关闭，由学校管理者决定是否开启；但若彻底禁用人工智能，学生也将无法使用谷歌搜索，因为“搜索与人工智能已深度整合”。公司同时推广 Guided Learning：用逐步提示辅导，而非直接给答案；Classroom 版已全球可用，搜索版本月起在部分美国学校试点。纽约市与洛杉矶联合学区此前已限制校用生成式人工智能。阅读时可留意 artificial、intelligence、district、option、control 等词，以及 unless、however 如何交代条件与转折。
正文 Google announced on 3 November 2026 that it will change how artificial intelligence works in its tools for school students . Early next year , Gemini , Gemini Notebook , Gemini in Classroom , and Google Search will be switched off for K -12 student accounts unless school leaders turn them on . The company says schools asked for more control . There is a catch , however . Schools that ban AI completely will also lose Google Search for those students .
本段译文 谷歌于2026年11月3日宣布，将调整其校用工具中的人工智能使用方式。明年年初起，面向中小学（K-12）学生账号的 Gemini、Gemini Notebook、Classroom 中的 Gemini，以及谷歌搜索，将默认关闭，除非学校管理者主动开启。公司称学校希望获得更多控制权。但有一个关键条件：若学校彻底禁用人工智能，这些学生也将无法使用谷歌搜索。
Chris Phillips , Google’s vice president for education , said search and AI are now deeply connected Traditional search without AI summaries will not be an option on school accounts . If a district keeps AI off , students will see a message that search is unavailable . Districts may set different rules by grade . One group could use guided learning only , while older students get fuller search with AI overviews . Any group barred from AI would still lose search .
本段译文 谷歌教育业务副总裁 Chris Phillips 表示，搜索与人工智能现已深度绑定。学校账号将不再提供不含人工智能摘要的传统搜索。若学区关闭人工智能，学生会看到搜索不可用的提示。学区可按年级设定不同规则：一组学生可仅使用引导式学习，高年级则可使用带人工智能概览的更完整搜索。但任何被禁止使用人工智能的群体仍会失去搜索。
Google is also promoting Guided Learning . In Classroom , the tool is now available worldwide for schools that already allow Gemini . It is meant to coach students through problems with step-by-step prompts instead of handing over final answers . Teachers can link activities to class materials and review transcripts . A guided version for Search will start in selected U .S . schools later this month before a wider rollout .
本段译文 谷歌同时推广“引导式学习”（Guided Learning）。在已允许 Gemini 的学校，该工具现已在 Classroom 全球可用。它旨在通过逐步提示辅导学生解题，而不是直接给出最终答案。教师可将活动关联课堂材料并查看对话记录。面向搜索的引导版将于本月晚些时候在部分美国学校试点，随后再扩大范围。
The change follows an August move that turned on AI features by default inside Classroom for many districts that already permitted Gemini . That upset some leaders . New York City has restricted student-facing AI through eighth grade , and Los Angeles Unified has paused generative AI on its devices for a year . Both systems rely heavily on Google products
本段译文 此次调整也回应了今年8月的做法：当时谷歌在许多已允许 Gemini 的学区，把 Classroom 内的人工智能功能设为默认开启，令部分管理者不满。纽约市已限制八年级及以下学生面向的人工智能工具，洛杉矶联合学区则对校用设备上的生成式人工智能实施为期一年的暂停。两地都高度依赖谷歌产品。
Supporters of the new default say administrators regain a clear on-off switch Critics argue that tying search to AI leaves schools with a hard choice . Yvette Renteria of Common Sense Media warned that removing search can also remove practice in finding and checking sources Former Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan said Google was using its search position to push schools toward AI . New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani wrote that no company should decide how children are taught .
本段译文 支持新默认设置的人认为，管理者重新获得了清晰的开关。批评者则指出，把搜索与人工智能绑定，让学校陷入艰难选择。Common Sense Media 的 Yvette Renteria 警告，取消搜索也可能取消学生查找与核验信息来源的练习。前联邦贸易委员会主席 Lina Khan 称，谷歌在利用搜索地位推动学校采纳人工智能。纽约市市长 Zohran Mamdani 则写道，任何公司都不应决定如何教育孩子。
Google says it wants school leaders to choose tools that fit their classrooms , and that more details will arrive before the early -2027 switch . The announcement does not keep a search path without AI Districts must now weigh classroom needs , homework rules , and whether students can still look up information on school accounts . The debate is less about one chatbot and more about who controls everyday learning tools
本段译文 谷歌表示，希望学校管理者选择适合课堂的工具，并将在 2027 年初切换前提前公布更多细节。公告并未保留一条完全不含人工智能的搜索路径。学区现在必须权衡课堂需求、作业规则，以及学生是否仍能在校用账号上查询信息。争论的重点已不只是某一款聊天机器人，而是谁来掌控日常学习工具。
