The Google for Education Community Platform

I am excited to be presenting a free webinar about creating better AI prompts. And what better time than September to have a "Promptember" event!

AI can have a powerful impact on teaching and learning, but the value of what you get out can often depend on the quality of what you put in. How can you craft better prompts to get the best results?

In this session we will explore hundreds of examples of excellent prompts, learn the top 10 tips for better prompts, and explore free Gemini Gems to help you make the best prompts for your needs.

Details for this training:

Project Instruction CHEM-ANIMATE: The Invisible Tide: An AI-Supported Inquiry-Based Animation Project on Freshwater Acidification and Climate Change Communication

What started as a classroom project on ocean acidification became a meaningful collaboration between teachers from the Philippines and Austria.
Together with Bibiane @[email protected]  from Austria, we used Google Workspace to plan, develop, and coordinate the project—from shaping the learning experience and research activities to preparing the implementation and sharing our students' work.
The collaboration continued beyond our own schools. Our students' learning connected classrooms across two countries and two continents, creating an authentic opportunity to exchange ideas, perspectives, and awareness about a global environmental issue that also matters deeply to the Philippines.
From planning in Google Workspace to sharing the final work through YouTube, technology helped us turn distance into connection.

 Collaboration is no longer limited by school walls.
It can happen across schools, across countries, and across continents.

This project reminded us that when educators connect with a shared purpose, students gain something even more valuable than a completed project—a global audience, authentic collaboration, and a broader perspective of their role as young global citizens.

🇵🇭 Philippines × 🇦🇹 Austria
One project. Two classrooms. Two continents. One shared purpose.

A new school year means new ideas, new challenges, and new opportunities to make learning more interactive, engaging and meaningful.

On our website, we’ve created a dedicated page for teachers, packed with practical tips and ideas for an interactive Back to School — with a focus on freshness, innovation, creativity, and, above all, usefulness for teachers in their everyday practice.

Have a look and get inspired! We’d love for teachers and colleagues from other GEG communities to explore it too. 💡✨

👉Here it is: https://www.gegitalia.online/risorse/back-to-school-2627

Let’s start this new school year together — with fresh ideas and a little bit of innovation! 🚀

Hi everyone! QQ - for teacher recertification CEUs / Clock hours / PD credits, would a transcript from an accredited university with one undergraduate credit hour help you? Or must it be graduate hours?

💡 Tips for Google Apps on Android Devices 📱
New Event for #GEGMalawi this Tuesday 25th August at 6pm GMT+2, via Google Meet. You might be thinking - wait.. didn't this group host this event last year?? Yes yes - but we had members of the local community request that we run a new one! So here we are!!

🤔 Curious about how you can use Google apps to make your life easier on your phone? Do you have some tips you'd like to share throughout in the Google meet chat? 💭

💙 Thank you to our presenters for volunteering to share out about some of their favourite apps for this session, Dr. @Dr_Narjeet_Kaur   @LeahKaphuka Luke Chingoli @NaghamBaki  and Michael Beckley!

🌻 If you are interested, or know of others who would benefit from this session - please share this with them. We'd love to connect!
✍ Registration link: https://forms.gle/bTkYAzzcyzvz4LWY7 or you can use the QR code in the image.

Yes, this event will be recorded, and shared on our Google Site after the event has concluded. 🎬

✨ Thank you @NaghamBaki  for the Canva template !

This morning I attended the virtual Global GEG Event: "Digital Roots — Integrating Traditional Knowledge into Classrooms (Bahasa Indonesia)".

As a native English speaker, this was a brand-new experience for me (and yes, I was a little unsure of myself!)

I relied on Google Meet’s real-time translation + English closed-captions to follow along—and it worked seamlessly!
It was incredible to immerse myself in another culture's approach to education.

What struck me most is how connected we ALL are: educators around the globe are using Google Workspace for Education to solve the same challenges, innovate, and bring incredible value to their students.

Huge thank you to the organizers and speakers for an inspiring session! 💙
