In this webinar recording, I do a deep-dive into NotebookLM for schools—Google’s free AI tool that becomes incredibly powerful when you feed it your own trusted sources. The big idea is “grounded” AI: instead of guessing, NotebookLM works from the materials you provide, so the outputs can stay tied to vetted content. I walk through how to set up a Notebook and start adding sources like Google Docs, Slides, PDFs, websites, and even videos, so you can build a knowledge base that matches your curriculum, department resources, or PD materials. From there, I show how I use NotebookLM to chat with my sources to pull out specific answers, summarize key concepts, and quickly locate what I need without hunting through a pile of files. Then we explore the Studio tools, which let you generate classroom-ready resources fast—Audio and Video Overviews, slide decks, infographics, mind maps, data tables, flashcards, quizzes, and reports. Throughout the session I share practical, creative ways educators can use these features for teaching and learning, with a focus on saving time while keeping the work anchored to reliable content. I also include my “NotebookLM for Schools” resource doc so you can follow along and reuse prompts, examples, and ideas.
