Generative AI for Educators with Gemini
Generative AI for Educators with Gemini is a free beginner course from Google, online. It takes about 2 hours and ends with a free certificate.
Before you sign up
Suits middle and high school teachers who want to save time on admin, personalize instruction and enrich lessons using Gemini and Gemini Notebook. It's free, takes about 2 hours and ends with a certificate of completion. The main caveat is that professional development credit depends on your school district, and the hands-on work uses Google tools only.
