Google AI Badgeathon

Looking for a great free day of virtual PD to kick off the new school year? Well get your snacks ready because Google is hosting their "AI Educator Series Badgeathon: Day of AI Learning".

I am super excited to be presenting one of the sessions that day on Gemini Notebook and how to build just-in-time coaching resources at 1:30pm Eastern.

Here are the details for the full day of sessions:
  • Date: September 19, 2026
  • Time: 9:00am-7:00pm ET
A fast-paced, drop-in learning festival designed for your busy schedule. Pop in for a 30-minute power session or stack a few together to level up your AI skills on your own terms. Every 30-minute block packs a punch.
  • Lightning Talk: A fellow K-12 classroom teacher shares a quick, real-world AI hack or use case (like automating lesson plans or student-inquiry scaffolds).
  • Module Overview: Get a fast, clear walkthrough of the official curriculum to master the tool's features.
  • Live Badging & Prizes: We open our screens, complete the 5-question quiz together to earn your verified badge, and wrap up with custom swag giveaways!
Why Join Us on September 19th?
  • ISTE-Aligned Micro-Credentials: Walk away with verified digital badges that prove your practical AI fluency.
  • Win Free Swag: Complete a bundle of badges to earn raffle entries for amazing prizes, including limited-edition Google water bottles and other official Google gear!
  • Live Troubleshooting Support: Stuck on a quiz question or login? A team of Google team members will be active in the live stream to answer your technical questions in real time.

I hope to learn with you!
