The Idaho State University Albion Center for Professional Development, housed in the College of Education, has partnered with Ed3 DAO to offer a suite of online professional development courses for K-12 educators nationwide.

Co-founded by two educators, Vriti Saraf & Michael Peck, Ed3 DAO is a global launchpad and community for educators who wish to seek innovation and reimagine education using modern technology.

The Ed3 DAO courses for the Albion Center will provide educators with the skills to skillfully use emerging technologies, including:

  • Using AI to increase a teacher’s productivity and creativity and to create personalized and differentiated learning experiences for students;
  • Teaching and learning in the metaverse; and
