Tool Talk: NotebookLM

In this 13-minute video, Leslie Bruce guides viewers through the simple process of using a digital “notebook” in Google’s “NotebookLM” AI tool.  This free tool allows you to “chat” about or create various study tools related to sources you choose and upload.  Because the tool is “grounded,” it uses only your sources to answer questions, making it a safer AI tool choice for students.
