What this is
The course and exam deal with using generative AI in lesson planning, differentiated tasks and feedback, and with the risks that come with it: reliability, personal data, academic integrity.
This is a subject on which Georgian schools have no unified policy yet. A certified teacher is exactly the person positioned to start that conversation.
Who it is for
Teachers and school administrators considering bringing AI into the classroom.
How to get it
- 1Open Google for Education and create a free account. No card is asked for at any point.
- 2Work through the material, ~8 h in total. It is self-paced, so the time is yours to spread.
- 3Pass the graded exam. This is the part that is normally paid elsewhere, and it is the reason this row is in the directory.
- 4Download the certificate as a PDF and keep the verification link, which is what an employer actually checks.
From Georgia
Open from Georgia; Russian is among the 13 languages.
Where this helps
Live remote vacancies in the same direction. You apply on the employer's own site; the board itself is written in Georgian.
