In this session, we’ll explore how this new era of generative technology can help handle the 'heavy lifting' of instructional design, allowing you to scale the best practices you already value. To do this, we’ll introduce you to your personal AI assistant for teaching and learning: Gemini for Education.

The Alaska Google Educator Group is partnering with ASTE on a free online PD series. We meet the second Wednesday of every month from 4:00 to 5:00 pm AKDT.

Each session focuses on one tool or task. You'll see it in action, try it yourself, and have time for questions with educators working in schools like yours.
