Students are growing up in a world where artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday life. For elementary educators, that creates both an opportunity and a challenge: how do you introduce AI in ways that are safe, developmentally appropriate, and connected to classroom learning? Ask PebbleGo was designed to help answer that question. @h6 What is Ask PebbleGo? [b]Ask PebbleGo is an AI-powered inquiry tool that supports safe, curriculum-connected learning by helping students ask questions, find trusted answers from PebbleGo and PebbleGo Next, and build research and AI literacy skills.[/b] Included with PebbleGo Premier, Ask PebbleGo makes it easy for students to ask questions and begin researching topics that interest them. @image /content/dam/pebblegodev/blog/ask-pebblego-search-bar.png Ask PebbleGo displayed on a tablet with a search bar and Ask button, alongside images of flowers and an airplane representing inquiry topics. @h6 Built on the Content You Already Trust Unlike open AI tools that search across the internet, Ask PebbleGo generates responses using only the trusted content found in [b]PebbleGo and PebbleGo Next[/b] articles. Every response includes one or more cited source articles, making it easy for students to verify information, continue reading, and practice evaluating AI generated content alongside human written articles. Whether students are wondering: * Who invented airplanes? * Why do leaves change color? * Where do koalas live? Ask PebbleGo helps them find answers quickly while encouraging them to dig deeper into the original articles. @image /content/dam/pebblegodev/blog/ask-pebblego-questions.png Child thinking with question prompts including "What is AI?", "Why is the sky blue?", and "Who invented airplanes?" @h6 Supporting Inquiry and AI Literacy Ask PebbleGo was intentionally designed for elementary learners. Students can: * Ask questions by typing or using the built-in microphone. * Receive age-appropriate answers generated from PebbleGo and PebbleGo Next articles. * Listen to answers read aloud. * Open the cited source article to learn more and verify the response. * Build research skills by asking better questions and checking sources. Because every response points students back to trusted content, Ask PebbleGo naturally reinforces one of the most important AI literacy lessons: AI can help us find information, but we should always verify what it tells us. To support classroom implementation, Ask PebbleGo also includes a free [b]Educator Guide[/b] with lesson ideas and activities aligned to the [url=https://ailiteracyframework.org/]AI Literacy Framework[/url]. If you're ready to get started, explore the [url=https://www.pebblego.com/resources/help-center/getting-started/ask-pebblego-quickstart]Ask PebbleGo Quickstart Guide[/url] for a quick overview of the tool and its key features. Together, these resources help teachers introduce AI in age appropriate ways while reinforcing research, critical thinking, and source evaluation skills. Looking for even more support? Explore our free [url=https://www.pebblego.com/ai-toolkit]AI Toolkit[/url] for additional thought leadership, classroom resources, implementation ideas, and guidance to help you introduce AI with confidence. @h6 You're Always in Control When Ask PebbleGo launches, it will be included with your next [b]PebbleGo Premier renewal[/b] at no additional cost. Once activated, Ask PebbleGo will automatically be available to your students. If you decide it is not the right fit for your classrooms, you can disable it at any time using the [url=https://www.pebblego.com/resources/help-center/admin-support/content-management]Content Management[/url] tool in your PebbleGo admin dashboard. @h6 Available with PebbleGo Premier We're excited to bring Ask PebbleGo to PebbleGo Premier customers, giving elementary learners a safe, trusted way to ask questions, build research skills, and begin developing AI literacy with confidence. Whether students are starting a research project or simply exploring their curiosity, Ask PebbleGo helps them get to trusted information faster while encouraging deeper learning. @button #8DF1FF https://www.pebblego.com/resources/help-center/using-pebblego/ask-pebblego-overview.html Learn More
