Episode Description

In this episode, I’m joined by Mariya Gluzman to explore how educators can use Notebook LM to support—not replace—student thinking.

We discuss how AI is shifting instruction from product to process, and how tools like Notebook LM can help structure deeper learning, safer AI use, and more intentional instructional design.

AI should supplement thinking, not replace it
Traditional plagiarism detection is no longer reliable → task design must change
Strong instruction in an AI era = process, scaffolding, and feedback loops
NotebookLM creates a closed, source-based AI environment for learning
Educators can use AI to generate:
AI can act as a “study buddy” to support skill development
The real shift is from knowing about AI → learning with AI

The challenge isn’t access to AI—it’s designing learning experiences where AI enhances thinking instead of bypassing it.
