Where are my #NCTCA2025 teachers at?! If you want to play around with #Canva's AI, Audio and Animation tools or @quizizz.bsky.social and it's incredible #AI capabilities for differentiation, come find me tomorrow at the Westin! #albertateachers

Yes, educators. But downloading the audio could provide choice for kids too. My friend @knikole.bsky.social just mentioned something similar for her weekly admin newsletter she sends to her campus. Read the newsletter or (after uploading it to NotebookLM) listen to the audio summary.

Who has used #NotebookLM and what's your favorite feature?! I'm loving the briefing doc and the chat #EduSky #GoogleTools #GoogleEI #GoogleChampion

This is definitely "iguanas falling out of trees" territory... 🥶
