Google has committed to making Artificial Intelligence (AI) training available to all 6 million United States (U.S.) educators.
According to a statement shared, the high-tech company, Google, indicated that AI has the power to transform how students learn.
It is on this premise that Google is committing to training educators to master this emerging technology, which is already in high demand across various workloads.
In the statement, Google for Education announced that it is launching an initiative with ISTE+ASCD to provide free, comprehensive Gemini training to all 6 million K–12 and higher education faculty members in the U.S. It is described as the largest initiative of its kind. The program is designed to help educators and their more than 74 million students safely and thoughtfully use Google’s suite of AI tools – including Gemini and NotebookLM – to thrive in a world where AI is becoming increasingly prevalent.
Google’s Approach to AI Training for Educators
Google indicated that the initiative has been thoughtfully designed with concise and flexible training modules that specifically address the needs of today’s busy teachers. The program is built by educators for educators.
Topics is Designed to include the use cases such as:
- How educators can create personalized lessons for each student based on same-day assessment results
- How faculty can use Gemini to provide each student in a crowded lecture hall with an individualized study coach
- How K–12 teachers can adapt existing curricular materials to meet students’ diverse needs, such as reading levels, primary languages, and visual learning preferences
- How faculty can use NotebookLM to enable students to create customized study guides, infographics, or interactive podcasts so they can learn in the most effective way for them
Google concluded that if teachers are provided with the support they need, students will receive the guidance and mentorship required to use AI in ways that enhance effective learning and promote responsible usage.
