In a recent post published on its Keyword blog, Google announced the release of new updates to its popular app Google Lens. Students will now be able to use the app’s homework help to get assistance with math and science. The way the new feature works is simple and easy. Students open Lens app, take a photo of the science or math problem and Lens will automatically provide step-by-step guidance to help them solve the problem and understand its explanation. Homework help is made possible through a partnership between Socratic and Google Lens.
For those of you not familiar with Google Lens, this is an excellent app that allows you to use the camera of your phone to digitize the world around you. You can use it to:
- “Identify plants and animals: Find out what that plant is in your friend’s apartment, or what kind of dog you saw in the park.
- Explore places around you:Identify and learn about landmarks, restaurants, and storefronts. See ratings, hours of operation, historical facts, and more.
- Find the look you like:See an outfit that catches your eye? Or a chair that’s perfect for your living room? Find similar clothes, furniture, and home decor to the one you like.
- Know what to order:See popular dishes on a restaurant menu based on reviews from Google Maps.
- Scan codes:Quickly scan QR codes and barcodes.”
