NotebookLM: Your New Teaching Assistant

#252: NotebookLM is one of the most underused AI tools in education, and in this session, Ashley Shanley walks you through exactly how to put it to work in your classroom. From generating AI-powered podcasts to interactive quizzes, mind maps, explainer videos, and study guides, you'll see how NotebookLM turns your existing documents into engaging learning experiences, without ever pulling from the open web.

In this session, you'll learn:

• What NotebookLM is and how its closed-loop, source-only model protects student data
• How to use the Studio features: audio overviews, slide decks, explainer videos, mind maps, reports, flashcards, and quizzes
• How to support English Language Learners with multilingual output (50+ languages)
• Data privacy best practices for using AI responsibly in K-12 classrooms (FERPA, COPPA, PII)
• How to turn a boring PDF or slideshow into a student-ready podcast or video in minutes
