新学期启航：谷歌推出AI教育系列新模块，助力教师数字化技能提升
随着全球返校季的到来，如何应对日新月异的人工智能技术，成为教育工作者面临的新课题。为帮助教师自信运用AI工具，谷歌近日宣布扩展其免费的“谷歌AI教育者系列”，并定于9月19日举办全国性“数字徽章马拉松”线上活动。
该系列课程专为K-12（基础教育）教师设计，提供按需点播的免费培训，每节微课时长不足15分钟，便于教师利用碎片时间学习并获取认证徽章。此次新增内容将固定在每月第一个周三更新，涵盖四大实用场景：通过谷歌工具自动处理通知家长等繁琐事务；利用“双子座”引导式学习功能为学生提供个性化辅导；借助深度研究功能提升高校学生论文调研能力；以及通过“AI探险”游戏化课程，围绕现实议题开展互动教学。
谷歌与全球课程设计权威机构ISTE+ASCD合作，自今年5月推出该系列以来，广泛吸纳了全球教师的反馈。谷歌方面表示，教师们最期待的是“明天就能用”的实操技能，并渴望建立同行交流社群。目前，已有教师利用自然语言编程（即“氛围编码”）快速定制教学解决方案，显著提升了备课效率。
作为系列活动的高潮，谷歌定于2026年9月19日（星期六）上午9点至下午7点（美东时间） 举办免费的虚拟“Badge-a-thon”学习日。活动每30分钟一个环节，包括同行教师分享课堂妙招、官方课程快速导览、线上共同完成测验以获得ISTE认证数字徽章，并设有定制礼品抽奖环节。谷歌诚邀全球教育者届时上线，与同行共同探索省时高效的AI教学方法。教师可通过 goo.gle/GESBadgeathon 报名参加。

以Google AI教育者系列开启AI就绪的新一年
开学季总是充满新的可能，但也可能带来驾驭快速变化的人工智能格局的挑战。为了帮助你自信地运用这项技术，我们创建了Google AI教育者系列（GES）——这是一个免费、按需提供的培训项目，旨在为你提供可以立即使用的实用AI技能——只需不到15分钟的短小课程即可获得徽章。
今天，我们增加了更多内容，并宣布于9月19日举办全国性的徽章马拉松活动。这项专为K-12教育工作者设计的灵活10小时线上活动，让你可以随时参与快闪演讲、获得实操培训，并实时赢取经ISTE认证的官方数字徽章。
通过每月更新拓展你的技能
我们认真倾听了完成初期系列课程的教育工作者的反馈，他们希望获得更多动手实践的应用内容。我们现在于每月第一个周三新增GES模块，并配有严格的理解检测环节。以下是你通过最新模块可以达成的目标：
- 消除可见的繁琐工作：学习如何识别频繁出现的简单任务——例如当学生缺交作业时起草致家长的通知邮件——并通过Google工具将其自动化，从而把时间还给与学生相处。
- 提供个性化支持：“主动解决问题”模块引入了Gemini的引导式学习功能，帮助学生通过苏格拉底式引导攻克复杂问题。
- 提升学生研究能力：面向高等教育群体，“探究规划”模块演示了如何使用Gemini的深度研究功能，培养学生在论文和学位论文中的研究与探究能力。
- 构建互动学习体验：通过“AI探索：市场沼泽”课程，你将学习如何基于现实世界主题——从人类能动性到洪水预报——通过互动式游戏化学习体验来教学。
贴近教育工作者的实际需求
我们与ISTE+ASCD（一个覆盖K-12课程设计与教育技术的全球网络）等专家合作，于5月推出了GES，其依据是来自全球教育工作者的反馈——培训不仅需要灵活，还必须适用于他们日常的教学需求。我们已经看到教师们如何利用这些技能来打造成功的课堂，他们的故事向我们展示了无限可能。
自推出GES以来，我们从教育工作者那里听到了两个关键主题：
- 对实际应用的需求：除了兴奋感之外，教育工作者在问：“我明天如何在课堂上使用这个？”他们希望学会如何将新的AI工具融入教案中。
- 对社群交流的需求：教育工作者希望有一个分享想法的空间，因为他们认识到，最强大的创新来自相互学习。
一位教授分享了Google AI教育者系列如何帮助高等教育工作者将Gemini和NotebookLM融入课堂教学。
我们反复听到，要使专业发展真正有效，它必须灵活、易获取，并且尊重教育工作者繁忙的日程安排。它需要在教师能为自己挤出的零碎时间中带来价值。
一位演讲者谈到Google AI教育者系列项目如何为教师提供一种宝贵的途径，让他们在自己有时间的时候参与短小精悍、兴趣驱动的学习。
教育工作者对AI成为课堂中的创意伙伴的潜力感到兴奋，这让他们能够探索新的教学方式。氛围编程——通过自然语言进行AI和编程——让教师能够为学生创建定制化解决方案，而无需花费大量时间寻找可能无法满足特定需求的现有工具。
欢迎参加9月19日（周六）的GES徽章马拉松
准备好为你的课堂带来一波新的创意和效率了吗？请在日历上标记2026年9月19日（周六）（美国东部时间上午9:00至晚上7:00），参加免费的线上Google AI教育者系列徽章马拉松：AI学习日。
每个30分钟时段的内容安排如下：
- ⚡ 快闪演讲：一位同行教师分享一个快速课堂技巧——例如几秒钟内起草致家长的信件或定制阅读水平
- 🎓 模块概述：快速清晰地浏览官方培训课程，掌握工具的核心功能
- 🏆 实时认证与奖品：我们打开屏幕，一起完成测验以赢取经ISTE认证的官方数字徽章，并以定制周边礼品抽奖收尾！
加入我们，一起探索最新模块，与正在塑造教育未来的全球同行社群一起学习实用、省时的AI技能。

Start the year AI-ready with the Google AI Educator Series
Back-to-school season is filled with new possibilities, but can also bring the challenge of navigating a rapidly changing AI landscape. To help you use this technology with confidence, we created the Google AI Educator Series (GES) — a no cost, on-demand training designed to give you practical AI skills you can use immediately — with bite-sized sessions taking less than 15 minutes to earn a badge.
Today, we’re adding even more content and announcing a national Badge-a-thon on September 19. Designed specifically for K-12 educators, this flexible, 10-hour virtual event lets you drop in for lightning talks, get hands-on training, and earn official ISTE-aligned digital badges live.
Expanding your skills with monthly updates
We listened closely to feedback from educators who completed our initial series and asked for more hands-on practical applications. We are now adding new GES modules on the first Wednesday of every month, complete with rigorous checks for understanding. Here’s what you can accomplish with our latest modules:
- Eliminate visible work: Learn how to identify frequent, simple tasks — like drafting notification emails to parents when an assignment is missed — and automate them through Google tools to reclaim time with your students.
- Provide personalized support: The Active Problem-Solving module introduces Gemini’s Guided Learning feature, which helps students work through complex problems with Socratic guidance.
- Elevate student research: For our higher education community, the Planning the Inquiry module demonstrates how to use Gemini's Deep Research feature to build skills in student research and inquiry for papers and theses.
- Build interactive learning experiences: With “AI Quest: Market Marshes,” you will learn how to teach students through interactive game-based learning experiences based on real-world topics, from human agency to flood forecasting.
Meeting educators where they are
Developed in partnership with experts like ISTE+ASCD – a global network for K-12 curriculum design and educational technology – we launched GES in May based on feedback from educators around the world, explaining that training not only need to be flexible, but applicable to their everyday teaching needs We’re already seeing how teachers use these skills to set up their classrooms for success, and their stories show us what is possible.
Since we launched GES, we’ve heard two key themes from educators: - A desire for practical application: Beyond the excitement, educators are asking, "How do I use this in my classroom tomorrow?" They want to learn how to integrate new AI tools into lesson plans.
- A need for community: Educators want a space to share ideas, recognizing that the most powerful innovations come from learning from one another.
A professor shares how the Google AI educator series can help higher education facilitators integrate Gemini and NotebookLM into their classrooms.
We consistently hear that for professional development to be truly effective, it must be flexible, accessible, and respect an educator's busy schedule. It needs to deliver value in the small pockets of time teachers can carve out for themselves.
A speaker talks about how the Google AI Educator series program provides a valuable way for teachers to engage in bite-sized, interest-driven learning whenever they have the time.
Educators are excited about AI’s potential to be a creative partner in the classroom allowing them to explore new ways to teach. Vibe coding – AI and coding through natural language– allows teachers to create custom solutions for their students without having to spend significant time searching for existing tools that may not meet their specific needs.
Drop in on our GES Badge-a-thon on Sat Sept 19
