702. The Educator’s AI Toolkit: A Workshop on the Gemini App, Gemini Notebook, and Google Vids
Presented by: Tammy Lind, CDW
Room:
Are you ready to elevate your lesson design and classroom activities? This completely hands- on workshop is designed to equip educators with the tools to harness the power of Google’s latest AI Technologies. We’ll explore how the free, accessible features of the Gemini App, Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM), and Google Vids can save you time, personalize learning opportunities, and unlock new creative possibilities.
What We’ll Cover:
Gemini for Education: Discover how Gemini can serve as your personal “brainstorming partner” for teaching and learning. We’ll focus on practical, actionable strategies you can use throughout your day, ensuring you walk away with content you can implement immediately.
Gemini Notebook: Learn how to turn your existing course materials—PDFs, Google Docs, and slides—into an interactive study partner. We’ll demonstrate how Notebook can summarize complex texts, generate quizzes, and create podcast-style audio and video overviews from your sources, empowering you to build custom learning resources for your students.
Google Vids: Following its major summer update, Vids is more powerful than ever! This section will show you how to create engaging instructional videos for your classroom. We’ll cover everything from generating AI video scripts to using a teleprompter and adding royalty-free media, making it easy to produce high-quality content for flipped lessons or student projects.
This workshop serves as a catalyst for technology adoption, moving educators from basic usage to high-level
proficiency with Google’s AI-driven tools.
(Note: We will also cover any new tool updates released between now and the conference.)
