October 2026 Partner Spotlight: Google x ISTE/ASCD
Two education powerhouses are teaming up this month! Google and ISTE/ASCD are hosting joint events in October, and we’ve rounded up the top sessions every K-12 educator in our community needs to see.
Thank you so much for participating in the Google AI Educator Series Badge-a-thon: Day of AI Learning on Saturday, September 19, 2026!

Whether you dropped in for a single 30-minute block or stayed to earn multiple ISTE-aligned digital badges live, your dedication to bringing safe, effective AI into classrooms is incredible! ICYMI, recordings of the sessions will be available soon. There are currently 30 GES badges you can earn at your own pace.
