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.
Useful for teachers who want to save time on admin, personalise instruction and enrich lessons using Gemini and Gemini Notebook. It's free, takes about 2 hours and ends with a certificate of completion. The framing is American: it's written for middle and high school teachers, and the PD credit depends on US school districts, so ignore those parts. For a ChatGPT-based alternative, try ChatGPT Foundations for Teachers from OpenAI Academy.
