Reimagining teaching and learning with Google AI

At the University of Santo Tomas, artificial intelligence is used as a tool that supports teaching and learning. Together with OVRAA, the Educational Technology Center, whose team of 45 eLearning specialists, leads technology-focused trainings for the past 4 years across basic and higher education units.

To date, more than 2,000 educators have undergone training in Google Workspace and AI tools, with over 300 of them becoming Google Certified Educators. From designing transformative lessons to facilitating meaningful classroom experiences, the initiative reflects a University-wide push to help teachers apply AI meaningfully within their own disciplines.

This work is now featured in a recent article by InsiderPH, which looks at how UST is approaching AI adoption in education.

When heavy downpours turn into rising waters, the fear isn’t just about the rain—it’s the sudden loss of control, the isolation of being stranded, and the quiet shock that can linger even after the waters recede.

After an unexpected event, it’s okay to feel afraid, shaken, overwhelmed, uncertain, or unsettled. Sometimes, exhaustion runs deeper than the physical—it can weigh on us emotionally, too. You don’t have to brush these feelings aside, and you don’t have to carry them alone.

Our counselors have been reaching out and extending support to members of the Thomasian community affected by the recent events. To extend this support to more members of our community, the UST Guidance and Counseling Center, in collaboration with the Department of Psychology, is organizing a virtual Drop-in Support Service.

Take a moment to share, be heard, and better understand what you’ve been through. Together, we can find grounding, draw strength from one another, and nurture resilience as we move forward.

Register in advance for this session:
https://ust-edu-ph.zoom.us/meeting/register/GTdbc4EJTRC4mbtrv7JQpA

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

We rise stronger together—finding strength in the stories we carry, and in each other.
