This Week’s Upcoming Activities

Tuesday, June 9, 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM | Crafting Narratives: Gemini Storybook for Adult Education | Susan Gaer, OTAN Subject Matter Expert | The Gemini Storybook feature is more than just a tool for children, it is a sophisticated resource for adult educators seeking to enhance comprehension and engagement. This 60-minute, hands-on demonstration will walk you through the end-to-end process of leveraging AI to create powerful narrative-based learning materials. Crucially, we will explore advanced prompting techniques to instantly generate supplementary educational materials directly from your finished storybook, turning a single narrative into a complete, ready-to-use learning module for your adult students. This session is designed for educators in Adult Basic Education, ESOL, professional development, and technical training.

Friday, June 12, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM | OTAN Tech Talk June 2026: Building Apps with Gemini Canvas | Susan Gaer, OTAN Subject Matter Expert | In this session, educators will discover how to transform classroom ideas into functional, interactive applications without writing a single line of traditional code. By leveraging Gemini Canvas, teachers can use natural language to create activities ranging from grammar games to vocabulary builders—tailored specifically to the needs of adult learners.
