New ChromeOS Tools To Support Classroom Collaboration
Google, Wednesday, January 21st, 2026
Modernize your classroom with AI-powered Chromebooks, Gemini in Chrome, and new ways to engage and collaborate with students with powerful Class tools features and a new display app.
ChromeOS provides hardware and software tailored for every teacher and student. As the education world evolves, the spaces where students learn must also adapt. Here's what we're working on, and what's coming to classrooms everywhere this year.
Updates to Class tools for better classroom engagement
Last year, we launched Class tools, a set of real-time control and student engagement features for managed Chromebooks, available with Google Workspace for Education Plus. With Class tools, teachers can share content, see live feeds of students' screens, and even lock screens so students can't do anything other than assigned lessons. Now, we're announcing a new class tools display app, teacher-led screen sharing and screen annotations.
