The AI Educator BrAIn

It's our two-year birthday and we're celebrating the only way we know how — by spiraling into AI chaos. Kelly Booz and Sari Beth Rosenberg are joined by returning favorite Christopher Penn for a deep dive into Google's NotebookLM, the tool that lets you upload your own data and turn it into slide decks, podcasts, videos, quizzes, flashcards, and infographics in 82 languages. Chris demos the whole thing live using a Common Core–aligned sixth grade math textbook he built with AI — Minecraft themed, obviously.But first: Is that AI image of the president a doctor or Jesus? (Spoiler: every student in Sari Beth's class had thoughts.) We break down AI-generated propaganda videos coming out of Iran, talk about what tools are making them, and why watermarking matters. Then it's time for our SNL Weekend Update–style AI Educator News Update — Disney's Olaf robot face-plants, ChatGPT starts selling ads, Boston requires AI proficiency to graduate, a school AI tool generates wildly inappropriate images for a fourth grader, NYC tries to open an AI high school before it's even approved, and Anthropic builds a model so good at hacking they won't release it.Plus: Chris did his taxes with AI, agentic tools are 100x-ing productivity, and we have more webinar ideas than we know what to do with. Happy birthday to us.Chapters:00:00 — Show Intro and Setup01:56 — Welcome & Introductions (Happy 2nd Birthday!)02:36 — Creepy or Cool: The AI-Generated Presidential Image07:23 — AI Video Propaganda: What Tools Are Making Those Videos?10:33 — AI Educator News Update (SNL Weekend Update Style)21:59 — What Is NotebookLM and Why Should Educators Care?24:14 — Live Demo: AI-Generated Math Textbook (Minecraft Edition)27:17 — Studio Outputs: Slide Decks and Infographics32:22 — Audio and Video Generation from Your Own Data33:59 — Quizzes, Flashcards, and Mind Maps35:20 — Free vs. Paid: Plans, Limits, and Pricing36:41 — Prompting for Better Output (Active Voice, Audience, Style)40:06 — Multilingual Classroom Assets: 82 Languages Including Haitian Creole45:47 — Live Build: Jamestown Debate from Indigenous and Colonial Perspectives52:59 — Sharing Notebooks and Real-World Use Cases (FAFSA, School Board Research)54:09 — AI and Taxes: Chris Did His with a 900-Page Budget Bill57:31 — Agentic AI Tools: Claude Cowork, Building Code Reviews, and 100x Productivity01:02:51 — Wrap Up and What's Next📰 Topics covered:Google NotebookLM deep dive: sources, chat, studio outputs, free vs. paid, sharingLive demo: AI-generated Minecraft-themed Common Core math textbookGenerating slide decks, infographics, audio overviews, videos, quizzes, and flashcards from your own curriculumMultilingual content generation (Haitian Creole, French, and more)AI-generated propaganda videos: tools, watermarking, and guardrailsCreepy or Cool: AI-generated presidential imageryAI Educator News Update: Olaf, ChatGPT ads, Boston AI graduation requirement, Adobe's Pippi Gate, NYC AI high school, Anthropic's Mythos modelAgentic AI tools and real-world productivity gainsHallucination detection and the importance of subject matter expertise🎓 Earn free PD credit for this session: https://sharemylesson.com/webinars/ai-educator-brain-information-overload-instruction-notebooklm 👋 Join us live next month: https://sharemylesson.com/ai 📚 Join Share My Lesson (free): https://sharemylesson.com🔗 Resources mentioned:Google NotebookLM: https://notebooklm.google.comHosts: Kelly Booz & Sari Beth Rosenberg Guest: Christopher Penn From: Share My Lesson at the American Federation of Teachers
