TL;DR
What did u/kellistech use Gemini for?
A teacher who builds small classroom apps without coding keeps every build inside the school's education accounts: Gemini for the code, Google Sites or Canva Code to publish. Another teacher makes quick web games for students who finish early. They said Gemini and Google Sites fall under the student privacy laws SOPPA, COPPA and FERPA as core services in Workspace Edu Plus accounts, and that Canva Edu signs the student data privacy agreement where they are.
What they did
When another commenter asked how many vibe-coded classroom projects leak student data into AI models, they said their vibe coding is only done in Gemini and published to Google Sites, or built in Canva Code. They explained they made this call for their district after researching it, including a conversation with Google for Education, and that none of it happens on personal accounts.
How it went

Worth knowing
- The privacy coverage they describe applies to the education versions (Workspace Edu Plus and Canva Edu), not personal accounts, and Canva's agreements vary by state. Check with your own school or district before putting student information into any tool. They don't share the tools they built.
- Price check: Google Gemini: free plan; Google AI Plus: US$4.99/month (checked Nov 1, 2026); Canva: free plan; Canva Pro: US$18/month, or US$12/month on a yearly plan (US$144/year) (checked Oct 26, 2026).
