Use It in Classroom

Implement Your Policy

  • In Google Classroom, teachers automatically see the Traffic Lite AI-usage widget while creating Assignments, Quiz Assignments, Questions, and Materials.
  • Simply select a color to insert the corresponding AI-usage policy directly into the Google Classroom post.
  • Students see the color-coded AI-usage guidance directly within their Google Classroom instructions.
The goal: students don't have to guess whether AI is allowed. The expectation travels with the assignment.
