Earn College Credit Through the Google AI Educator Series
In an exciting development for educators, the Google AI Educator Series is now offering participants the opportunity to earn college credits through a newly established partnership with College Unbound. Starting later this year, educators can gain undergraduate credits at no cost by completing the series’ training modules, which consist of brief, 15-minute training sessions aimed at enhancing AI skills.
Additionally, for those looking to advance their education further, graduate-level credits are also available. Through collaborations with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and Dominican University, participants can translate their newly acquired AI expertise into fully accredited graduate credits. This points to a growing recognition of the importance of AI education within academic institutions.
Continuing Education Credits for Illinois Educators
For educators and administrators in Illinois, the series also offers continuing education credits. This is made possible through a partnership with the Illinois Digital Educators Alliance, allowing participants to earn hours towards license renewal while enhancing their AI knowledge.
Educators interested in getting started are encouraged to join the upcoming Google AI Educator Series Badge-a-thon, taking place on September 19. This flexible, drop-in festival includes a 12-hour webinar where attendees can watch live demonstrations, learn time-saving strategies, and earn ISTE-aligned digital badges, making it a unique opportunity to build professional development through accessible learning.
As AI continues to evolve rapidly, integrating various AI capabilities can be beneficial for educators looking to streamline their workflow. Platforms like AllAI enable users to explore multiple AI tools in one place, enhancing their ability to work efficiently across different tasks without the hassle of switching between various applications.
