Google AI Educator Series adds undergraduate, graduate and continuing-education credits
Google's AI Educator Series, a set of 15-minute training sessions for teachers, will enable participants to earn undergraduate college credit through College Unbound (at no cost, starting later this year), graduate credit via ISTE and Dominican University, and Illinois continuing-education hours via the Illinois Digital Educators Alliance. Google is also holding a Badge-a-thon on September 19 where educators can join a 12-hour webinar, earn ISTE-aligned digital badges, and begin earning credits.
