TL;DR

What did MARIA JOSE RC (@MARIA_JOSE_RC) use NotebookLM for?

A teacher turns lesson material into short NotebookLM videos so students who were absent, need to hear it again or need extra support can review the same content whenever they need it.

What they did

They use NotebookLM to create short lesson videos from their class content, so students who were absent, need repetition or need extra support can go back over the same lesson at their own pace. They also use AI to make visuals, practice activities and different levels of support.

How it went

Students who missed class or need another pass get the same lesson content to review whenever they need it.

Worth knowing

  • Watch each video before sharing it, since the summary can drop or garble a step. Upload only your own teaching materials, and follow your school's rules on AI tools and student data.

Try it yourself

Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.

Using only the lesson notes and slides I've uploaded, make a short video overview of today's lesson for students who were absent. Cover the key ideas in the same order I taught them, use simple language, and end with two quick questions students can answer to check they understood.
