Product news: Google expands AI Educator Series with inquiry and Guided Learning modules

AI Product and Learning Report

Google's September 3 update adds practical topics to its free AI Educator Series and announces a virtual learning event for September 19. Modules connect Gemini with problem solving, inquiry, and classroom workflows. The offer sits alongside Anthropic's Claude Academy and OpenAI's teacher stories, but a badge records participation or a defined assessment rather than broad teaching competence. Schools can extend the training by reviewing a lesson artifact and its classroom use.
