Our Motto:  Create Capacity!

Google Updates: November 2026

This month, we are sharing our gratitude for Google! On November 4th, Google released five new Google AI Educator Series Badges. These microcredentials are bite-sized (15 minutes or less) digital badges to help you gain skills in using AI in your classroom. New this month- now you can earn continuing education and college credits for completion of the GES AI badges!

New GES AI Badge Spotlights

• Be Internet Awesome: A fun, gamified way to teach digital safety strategies and core security pillars for students.
  
• AI Quests: Try Dusky Dunes, an interactive healthcare simulation teaching the AI development life cycle and computational thinking AND the Market Marshes AI Quest to demystify the "black box" of artificial intelligence for middle schoolers. You’ll learn to facilitate a game-based simulation where students step into the role of AI scientists—cleaning environmental data and training forecasting models to solve a simulated community crisis.

• Looking for a substitute for Google Apps Script? Try the Eliminate Invisible Work badge to learn more about how to start using Google Workspace Studio (Agentic AI).
