Hey everyone! 🍎
I just wanted to share this game-changing workflow for lesson prep with the community. If you’re looking to reclaim your weekends while still delivering high-quality, engaging content, you need to check this out.
The "Magic" Workflow:
- Source Sandboxing: Upload your specific textbook PDF or notes into NotebookLM. This ensures the AI only uses your approved curriculum, not random (and sometimes incorrect) internet data [01:01].
- Guided Notes in Seconds: NotebookLM generates a detailed summary based on your learning objectives. You then pop that into Brisk to instantly create student-ready guided notes and an answer key [03:12].
- Pro Slide Decks: Using the "Studio" feature in NotebookLM, you can generate a visually stunning slide deck. No more hunting for Google Images—it builds a professional, engaging presentation for you [06:27].
- AI Explainer Videos: Finally, the tool can generate a full explainer video featuring visuals and textbook references that your students can watch at their own pace [07:04].
Why this works for us:
- Accuracy: It stays within the "sandbox" of your provided sources [02:44].
- Engagement: The slides and videos are way more professional than the "boring text" decks most of us have time to make [06:52].
- Efficiency: You walk away with a Google Doc, a slide deck, and a video in about the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee.
