Google NotebookLM is your new bestie! It’s so easy to use and the perfect way to start your back to school planning. Using your school account, it does not use your data to train the models. SO upload your school documents and see what happens!
Workshop Description
Are you spending your evenings and weekends drowning in lesson prep, searching for policies in dense handbooks, and trying to create differentiated materials for all of your students? It is time to transform your workflow.
Meet your new teaching buddy: Google's NotebookLM. This is not just another tech tool; it is a powerful AI assistant that you control, grounded entirely in the documents you provide.
In this free, 13-day email workshop, I will guide you step-by-step through mastering NotebookLM for your classroom. Each day, you will receive a bite-sized email with a clear explanation of a new feature and a practical, hands-on challenge to complete. You will learn to instantly differentiate texts, turn boring documents into engaging audio overviews, create study guides and mind maps with a single click, and even get help drafting sub plans and parent emails. This is your chance to reclaim your time and focus on what you do best: teaching.
