1
00:00:01,350 --> 00:00:03,510
Matthaeus Huelse: Calling
all Instructional Coaches,

2
00:00:03,540 --> 00:00:06,550
Curriculum Specialists,
Teachers on Special Assignment,

3
00:00:06,580 --> 00:00:08,000
or whatever they call you.

4
00:00:08,070 --> 00:00:09,150
I'm Matthaeus Huelse.

5
00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:10,380
Katie Ritter: And
I'm Katie Ritter.

6
00:00:10,709 --> 00:00:13,330
As Instructional Coaches,
we are often responsible for

7
00:00:13,330 --> 00:00:15,680
our own professional learning
and can sometimes feel

8
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,509
pretty isolated in our role.

9
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:19,380
Matthaeus Huelse: That's
why we're here, bridging

10
00:00:19,389 --> 00:00:22,060
the gap with a wealth of
tips, tricks, and building

11
00:00:22,060 --> 00:00:23,169
a community of coaches.

12
00:00:23,509 --> 00:00:25,190
Katie Ritter: So hit the
restart button with us.

13
00:00:25,230 --> 00:00:26,849
Matthaeus Huelse: Recharge
your coaching batteries.

14
00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:28,299
Katie Ritter: And hopefully
you'll leave feeling

15
00:00:28,299 --> 00:00:31,000
just a little bit less on
your own coaching island.

16
00:00:34,167 --> 00:00:36,897
Matthaeus Huelse: Welcome
back to Restart, recharge.

17
00:00:36,897 --> 00:00:41,277
Today we present you part
one of two about a tool

18
00:00:41,277 --> 00:00:43,827
that's generating a lot
of buzz in education.

19
00:00:43,827 --> 00:00:46,407
Right now we wanna
talk about NotebookLM.

20
00:00:46,857 --> 00:00:49,377
We're joined by Bryson
Min-Ryan, our resident

21
00:00:49,377 --> 00:00:52,677
expert on NotebookLM, and
our Assistant Director of

22
00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:53,757
Learning and Development.

23
00:00:53,967 --> 00:00:57,147
He brings extensive experience
in implementing innovative

24
00:00:57,147 --> 00:00:58,137
tech solutions within.

25
00:00:58,452 --> 00:01:01,962
Educational settings and
together we'll uncover how

26
00:01:01,962 --> 00:01:04,992
instructional coaches and
adult learners can leverage

27
00:01:04,992 --> 00:01:06,252
this powerful platform.

28
00:01:06,422 --> 00:01:09,102
to not only boost their
own productivity, but also

29
00:01:09,102 --> 00:01:10,392
to enhance collaboration.

30
00:01:10,392 --> 00:01:12,042
So welcome to the pod Bryson.

31
00:01:13,077 --> 00:01:13,437
Bryson Min-Ryan: Yeah.

32
00:01:13,437 --> 00:01:13,797
Thank you.

33
00:01:13,797 --> 00:01:14,577
I appreciate it.

34
00:01:14,637 --> 00:01:15,477
Long time coming.

35
00:01:15,477 --> 00:01:16,857
I've been looking
forward to this moment.

36
00:01:17,967 --> 00:01:19,077
Matthaeus Huelse: I've been
kind of teasing you about

37
00:01:19,077 --> 00:01:21,147
it too, until we finally
get the episode recorded.

38
00:01:21,537 --> 00:01:21,957
Bryson Min-Ryan: For sure.

39
00:01:22,357 --> 00:01:23,587
Katie Ritter: I love
that he's looking forward

40
00:01:23,587 --> 00:01:24,467
to being on the pod.

41
00:01:24,487 --> 00:01:25,357
That's awesome.

42
00:01:25,607 --> 00:01:28,007
Bryson, let me just add just a
little bit to your background

43
00:01:28,057 --> 00:01:31,557
you, for a number of years
have been, one of our onsite

44
00:01:31,557 --> 00:01:34,347
desktop technicians and then
a technology coordinator

45
00:01:34,347 --> 00:01:35,397
you've been overseeing

46
00:01:35,422 --> 00:01:39,952
teams of onsite technicians
working in schools every

47
00:01:39,952 --> 00:01:43,832
day, on a bit more of
the IT side of things.

48
00:01:43,832 --> 00:01:47,042
And recently you've come
in-house here at Forward Edge

49
00:01:47,072 --> 00:01:50,522
focused on internal employee
learning and development.

50
00:01:50,522 --> 00:01:52,622
And right now you're kind of
dabbling in two worlds, you're

51
00:01:52,622 --> 00:01:56,382
in K 12 schools every day,
working and leading a team,

52
00:01:56,472 --> 00:01:59,232
but then you're also back
here at the office, supporting

53
00:01:59,232 --> 00:02:00,852
forward Edge employees.

54
00:02:01,082 --> 00:02:02,972
From a learning and
development standpoint.

55
00:02:02,972 --> 00:02:05,792
So Matthaeus and I are super
excited about both of these

56
00:02:05,792 --> 00:02:08,952
perspectives that you're gonna
bring, for our audience to

57
00:02:08,952 --> 00:02:13,932
get to learn from you in the
multitude of applications for

58
00:02:13,932 --> 00:02:17,332
this incredible tool, that we
are super big fans of as well.

59
00:02:17,332 --> 00:02:19,072
So let's get started.

60
00:02:19,072 --> 00:02:22,732
And first, would you, just for
anyone who does not know what

61
00:02:22,732 --> 00:02:27,652
NotebookLM is, would you explain
what it is for listeners?

62
00:02:28,202 --> 00:02:29,802
Bryson Min-Ryan: Yeah, for
sure, first off, I want

63
00:02:29,802 --> 00:02:32,202
to thank you both for the
lovely introductions I got.

64
00:02:32,202 --> 00:02:35,997
It's been a bit of a whirlwind,
seeing firsthand how the

65
00:02:36,057 --> 00:02:38,707
technology impacts schools and
then getting an opportunity

66
00:02:38,707 --> 00:02:42,067
to come back here to forward
edge  share those opportunities

67
00:02:42,067 --> 00:02:43,687
with our staff here as well.

68
00:02:44,267 --> 00:02:49,097
One of the platforms that has
really changed the game for us

69
00:02:49,097 --> 00:02:51,377
in terms of how we approach.

70
00:02:52,027 --> 00:02:57,267
Learning solutions and overall
support has been NotebookLM

71
00:02:57,907 --> 00:03:02,987
NotebookLM is a Gemini
based product that acts as a

72
00:03:03,017 --> 00:03:05,087
research companion in a way.

73
00:03:05,367 --> 00:03:09,147
If we look at its original
intention to support the

74
00:03:09,447 --> 00:03:12,627
consolidation of resources
of all different media,

75
00:03:12,627 --> 00:03:15,597
like Google Docs or
websites or YouTube videos.

76
00:03:16,287 --> 00:03:19,987
And,  allows you to create
a very custom tailored

77
00:03:20,437 --> 00:03:22,057
research assistant for you.

78
00:03:22,777 --> 00:03:26,767
But the underlying principle
of what this can do in using

79
00:03:26,767 --> 00:03:31,417
AI to analyze a variety of
resources actually allows us

80
00:03:31,417 --> 00:03:35,617
to adapt it to many use cases,
across departments and fields

81
00:03:35,917 --> 00:03:39,187
to really enable anyone to find
those AI capabilities with it.

82
00:03:40,387 --> 00:03:41,947
Matthaeus Huelse: So what makes
it really different from just

83
00:03:41,947 --> 00:03:46,057
going to Gemini  or chat GPT or
whatever LLM you like to use?

84
00:03:46,057 --> 00:03:49,467
What makes NotebookLM different,
from these normal tools

85
00:03:49,467 --> 00:03:50,337
that we usually hear about?

86
00:03:51,342 --> 00:03:51,582
Bryson Min-Ryan: Yeah.

87
00:03:51,582 --> 00:03:55,212
So  the core function and
the greatest benefit of

88
00:03:55,212 --> 00:03:59,832
NotebookLM is the fact that we
are able to define the scope

89
00:04:00,612 --> 00:04:02,532
of what the platform uses.

90
00:04:02,562 --> 00:04:05,662
So what you see in traditional,
large language models.

91
00:04:05,672 --> 00:04:10,152
They have these vast training
sets that companies like Google

92
00:04:10,152 --> 00:04:12,702
Meta or OpenAI are training
on literally everything they

93
00:04:12,702 --> 00:04:13,902
can scour on the internet.

94
00:04:14,562 --> 00:04:17,712
Which in in some ways brings a
breadth of knowledge, but in,

95
00:04:17,712 --> 00:04:22,032
in other ways brings almost
in ocean of, at the same time

96
00:04:22,032 --> 00:04:24,912
irrelevant knowledge to what
we are actively working on.

97
00:04:25,632 --> 00:04:28,482
What NotebookLM allows
us to do when we bring

98
00:04:28,482 --> 00:04:29,802
those sources together.

99
00:04:30,567 --> 00:04:33,747
Is set that boundary so
that notebook only operates

100
00:04:33,747 --> 00:04:36,057
off of the sources that
we're providing to it.

101
00:04:36,057 --> 00:04:39,177
So again, we can provide that
custom tailored AI powered

102
00:04:39,177 --> 00:04:42,747
experience in whatever use
cases we look to adapt this to.

103
00:04:43,507 --> 00:04:45,542
Katie Ritter: And those, when
you say, when those sources we

104
00:04:45,542 --> 00:04:47,612
add, just to kind of connect
some of the dots, right?

105
00:04:47,612 --> 00:04:49,862
So that's at the beginning
you said you can add Google

106
00:04:49,862 --> 00:04:54,102
Docs slides, website links,
YouTube links, upload PDFs.

107
00:04:54,102 --> 00:04:54,312
Right?

108
00:04:54,312 --> 00:04:57,492
Those are the sources you're
talking about that then as

109
00:04:57,492 --> 00:04:59,532
you're having an engaging with.

110
00:04:59,542 --> 00:05:02,002
Am I summarizing that correctly?

111
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:03,322
Bryson Min-Ryan: Yeah,
you're right on the

112
00:05:03,322 --> 00:05:04,042
money with that one.

113
00:05:04,042 --> 00:05:08,582
The strength of Notebook,
LM is the variety of media

114
00:05:08,602 --> 00:05:10,612
and documentation that
we can bring into this.

115
00:05:10,612 --> 00:05:13,252
So like you say, Google
Docs, Google Slides.

116
00:05:13,702 --> 00:05:16,072
Integrates right into that
Google Workspace suite that

117
00:05:16,072 --> 00:05:21,232
we're familiar with, but
websites, PDFs, YouTube videos,

118
00:05:21,292 --> 00:05:23,302
even, audio or video files.

119
00:05:23,302 --> 00:05:26,512
We can upload all of that
and allow NotebookLM to

120
00:05:26,512 --> 00:05:29,792
help us process through,
all of that information.

121
00:05:30,717 --> 00:05:31,407
Katie Ritter: That's awesome.

122
00:05:31,407 --> 00:05:34,617
So for our listeners who are
predominantly instructional

123
00:05:34,617 --> 00:05:38,297
coaches and folks in teacher
support roles, I don't wanna

124
00:05:38,297 --> 00:05:39,557
necessarily go down the teacher.

125
00:05:39,627 --> 00:05:40,077
Path.

126
00:05:40,077 --> 00:05:41,582
'cause that's gonna be part two.

127
00:05:41,632 --> 00:05:42,682
Am I not supposed to say?

128
00:05:42,992 --> 00:05:44,432
But for our coach learners,

129
00:05:44,432 --> 00:05:46,762
you might think about
adding information about

130
00:05:46,762 --> 00:05:50,182
your school's website,
specific curriculum programs.

131
00:05:50,182 --> 00:05:53,452
Maybe you have curriculum maps
outlined in either PDFs or

132
00:05:53,452 --> 00:05:57,082
Google Docs, we can add all of
this very specific information.

133
00:05:57,372 --> 00:06:01,052
To our own, setting and
then begin to engage ask

134
00:06:01,052 --> 00:06:04,082
questions around our curriculum
materials, our teachers'

135
00:06:04,082 --> 00:06:07,262
curriculum materials, our
PD plans that we have in

136
00:06:07,262 --> 00:06:08,672
place, so on and so forth.

137
00:06:08,672 --> 00:06:10,592
I think we might dive into
some more of those things,

138
00:06:10,592 --> 00:06:15,032
but, are there any, unique
or super interesting features

139
00:06:15,392 --> 00:06:19,832
that particularly drew you
to NotebookLM beyond  being

140
00:06:19,832 --> 00:06:23,102
able to narrow down to your
own source documentation.

141
00:06:25,292 --> 00:06:27,657
Bryson Min-Ryan: You know,
notebook has quite a number

142
00:06:27,657 --> 00:06:30,237
of features outside of just
bringing these sources together.

143
00:06:30,237 --> 00:06:32,277
But what I found has been.

144
00:06:32,782 --> 00:06:36,082
Really critical to the different
use cases that I've had finding

145
00:06:36,082 --> 00:06:41,252
success is the variety of
ways that are prebuilt within

146
00:06:41,252 --> 00:06:43,922
NotebookLM to display the
information you're looking for.

147
00:06:44,292 --> 00:06:48,492
It also has some prebuilt things
that allow us to do timelines

148
00:06:48,522 --> 00:06:52,192
, or FAQs for resources we've
consolidated or even bring,

149
00:06:52,642 --> 00:06:56,452
an AI hosted podcast into the
situation as well to overview,

150
00:06:56,792 --> 00:06:58,022
what we have going for it.

151
00:06:58,022 --> 00:06:58,502
So it

152
00:06:58,582 --> 00:07:00,482
Katie Ritter: say more about
that podcast feature because

153
00:07:00,482 --> 00:07:01,157
Matthaeus Huelse: That's
what we wanted to hear.

154
00:07:02,177 --> 00:07:03,287
Bryson Min-Ryan: I figured
that would be the one that

155
00:07:03,287 --> 00:07:04,697
catches the most attention.

156
00:07:04,742 --> 00:07:05,822
Matthaeus Huelse:
You waited, you went.

157
00:07:05,822 --> 00:07:06,722
Should that last,

158
00:07:07,547 --> 00:07:07,907
Bryson Min-Ryan: I did.

159
00:07:07,907 --> 00:07:09,767
I, well, you gotta, you gotta
end on the good stuff, right?

160
00:07:09,767 --> 00:07:10,839
the best for last.

161
00:07:10,914 --> 00:07:11,344
Matthaeus Huelse: that's, true.

162
00:07:11,514 --> 00:07:11,994
Katie Ritter: There we go.

163
00:07:12,034 --> 00:07:12,544
Say more.

164
00:07:12,544 --> 00:07:15,514
Describe that for listeners who
maybe haven't experienced or

165
00:07:15,514 --> 00:07:17,134
actually seen NotebookLM before.

166
00:07:17,969 --> 00:07:18,169
Bryson Min-Ryan: Yeah.

167
00:07:18,169 --> 00:07:20,329
So,  at the service level
you see notebook, lm, you're

168
00:07:20,329 --> 00:07:21,439
like research assistant.

169
00:07:21,499 --> 00:07:23,059
I can put all these
sources in here.

170
00:07:23,239 --> 00:07:24,829
I can ask you
questions about those.

171
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:26,179
All fine and good.

172
00:07:26,464 --> 00:07:29,434
But what really makes
it transformative is

173
00:07:29,644 --> 00:07:32,074
the feature that they
call the audio overview.

174
00:07:33,004 --> 00:07:36,334
And what the audio overview does
is it takes those sources that

175
00:07:36,334 --> 00:07:39,814
you've added, as well as any
guidance that you wanna provide

176
00:07:39,814 --> 00:07:45,814
to it, and it turns it into a
podcast hosted by AI generated

177
00:07:45,844 --> 00:07:49,894
podcast hosts to then give
you another medium with which

178
00:07:49,894 --> 00:07:51,094
to understand that content.

179
00:07:52,894 --> 00:07:54,094
Katie Ritter: Yeah,
and it's pretty wild.

180
00:07:54,094 --> 00:07:57,204
I mean, they're not as good
as Matthaeus and I obvi, but

181
00:07:57,264 --> 00:07:57,474
Matthaeus Huelse: nah,

182
00:07:57,954 --> 00:07:58,409
Katie Ritter: it is.

183
00:07:59,289 --> 00:07:59,729
Matthaeus Huelse: Although it

184
00:07:59,734 --> 00:08:00,834
Katie Ritter: is shocking.

185
00:08:00,984 --> 00:08:02,574
Matthaeus Huelse: They do
sound very, very natural.

186
00:08:02,574 --> 00:08:03,084
I'll say.

187
00:08:03,089 --> 00:08:04,888
Sometimes I don't sound
as natural as they do.

188
00:08:04,888 --> 00:08:05,308
I think.

189
00:08:05,308 --> 00:08:05,578
So.

190
00:08:05,818 --> 00:08:07,228
Now, the newest thing
that I heard about

191
00:08:07,228 --> 00:08:08,368
was interactive mode.

192
00:08:08,608 --> 00:08:09,538
Have you used it?

193
00:08:09,718 --> 00:08:10,198
What is that?

194
00:08:11,428 --> 00:08:13,708
Bryson Min-Ryan: I have, and if
we want to continue this train

195
00:08:13,738 --> 00:08:18,138
of Uncanny Valley, we have this
now AI hosted podcast that's

196
00:08:18,138 --> 00:08:22,698
giving us an overview of the
content we put together, but now

197
00:08:22,728 --> 00:08:24,918
we can take it a step further
with interactive mode, one

198
00:08:24,918 --> 00:08:26,148
of the newest features in it.

199
00:08:26,888 --> 00:08:30,158
To actually step into that
conversation with those AI

200
00:08:30,158 --> 00:08:33,818
hosts, to ask it questions
and give it our thoughts

201
00:08:33,878 --> 00:08:37,628
on the topic at hand, and
it will interact in real

202
00:08:37,628 --> 00:08:40,058
time with us providing
those answers, providing

203
00:08:40,058 --> 00:08:41,438
their insights as well.

204
00:08:43,153 --> 00:08:44,223
Matthaeus Huelse: Yeah,
I remember trying it

205
00:08:44,223 --> 00:08:45,068
the first time and it's.

206
00:08:45,438 --> 00:08:48,918
We don't have that feature here
at the podcast, but apparently

207
00:08:48,918 --> 00:08:50,508
when you hit the button it
just says, oh, we have a

208
00:08:50,508 --> 00:08:52,938
caller, and then you can just
start interacting and asking

209
00:08:52,938 --> 00:08:54,708
questions, which is hilarious.

210
00:08:54,758 --> 00:08:56,498
Katie Ritter: How do we add
that feature to this podcast?

211
00:08:56,498 --> 00:08:56,978
Matthaeus Huelse: I don't know.

212
00:08:56,978 --> 00:08:57,218
We might,

213
00:08:57,758 --> 00:08:59,048
that would require
us to be live.

214
00:08:59,048 --> 00:08:59,498
Katie.

215
00:08:59,558 --> 00:09:00,278
We can't be live.

216
00:09:02,883 --> 00:09:03,103
Katie Ritter: Oh,

217
00:09:03,848 --> 00:09:04,268
Matthaeus Huelse: all right.

218
00:09:04,388 --> 00:09:05,378
So this is cool.

219
00:09:05,378 --> 00:09:07,778
So we looked at the tool a
little bit and see what it does.

220
00:09:07,808 --> 00:09:08,288
Essentially.

221
00:09:08,288 --> 00:09:09,668
It can answer questions about.

222
00:09:09,683 --> 00:09:11,423
My files which is super neat.

223
00:09:11,753 --> 00:09:13,943
Now let's talk a little
bit about use cases.

224
00:09:13,943 --> 00:09:16,548
What does it look like
for an adult learner doing

225
00:09:16,548 --> 00:09:17,508
professional development?

226
00:09:17,508 --> 00:09:20,928
How can someone that is leading
professional development

227
00:09:20,928 --> 00:09:24,148
use something like notebook,
LM for their own purposes?

228
00:09:24,223 --> 00:09:26,303
Bryson Min-Ryan: Well, the
core of it is that we can

229
00:09:26,303 --> 00:09:29,093
custom tailor the sources
that NoteboNotebookLM with.

230
00:09:29,858 --> 00:09:32,288
So when we think about adult
learning or these learning

231
00:09:32,288 --> 00:09:37,208
initiatives that we're trying to
push out, step one in elevating

232
00:09:37,208 --> 00:09:41,198
that is creating an environment
tailored to those learning

233
00:09:41,198 --> 00:09:42,638
or coaching initiatives.

234
00:09:43,758 --> 00:09:47,388
Once we do that and we add in,
our sources about a program

235
00:09:47,388 --> 00:09:49,908
plan that we have, feedback
that we've gotten about at the

236
00:09:49,908 --> 00:09:52,368
different activities we want to
do or the different trainings

237
00:09:52,368 --> 00:09:54,828
we want to lead, suddenly.

238
00:09:55,443 --> 00:09:59,613
We now have an AI tailored
coaching or learning solution

239
00:09:59,613 --> 00:10:02,763
that is able to help us do
different sorts of analytics

240
00:10:02,763 --> 00:10:07,083
or different sorts of trend
interpretation on the programs

241
00:10:07,083 --> 00:10:09,873
learn from them, adapt them
without having to scour

242
00:10:09,873 --> 00:10:12,963
through every single piece of
feedback, every single training

243
00:10:12,963 --> 00:10:13,893
that we've put together.

244
00:10:14,373 --> 00:10:17,613
And really allow us to build
more comprehensive programs.

245
00:10:19,218 --> 00:10:20,748
Katie Ritter: You know
what, when Bryson just said

246
00:10:20,748 --> 00:10:23,928
that, that made me think
like for our main audience

247
00:10:23,928 --> 00:10:26,373
who's listening to this, I
think about coaching cycles

248
00:10:26,403 --> 00:10:28,218
that our audience would
be going in, right?

249
00:10:28,218 --> 00:10:31,328
And taking notes in a
Google doc or whatever

250
00:10:31,328 --> 00:10:32,408
documentation you're.

251
00:10:32,483 --> 00:10:36,483
Probably already using in the
context of your, coaching cycle,

252
00:10:36,483 --> 00:10:39,873
conversations with teachers,
your observation notes, and

253
00:10:39,873 --> 00:10:42,883
can you load all of that in
a noteboNotebookLMen, maybe

254
00:10:42,883 --> 00:10:46,513
you're struggling to think about
that reflective conversation

255
00:10:46,513 --> 00:10:47,503
that you need to have.

256
00:10:47,503 --> 00:10:49,573
.

Matthaeus Huelse: I've done this
before where I would put notes,

257
00:10:49,623 --> 00:10:52,323
for my coaching, meetings and my
coaching cycles and transcripts

258
00:10:52,323 --> 00:10:53,583
from the meetings themselves.

259
00:10:53,598 --> 00:10:56,148
Another cool thing I
saw, I don't know if if

260
00:10:56,508 --> 00:10:58,718
that's gone, turned into a
question I'm gonna try,  was

261
00:10:58,718 --> 00:11:00,968
how admin have used it.

262
00:11:00,998 --> 00:11:02,318
'cause you mentioned feedback.

263
00:11:02,348 --> 00:11:04,748
That made me think coaches
will use it and like maybe

264
00:11:04,748 --> 00:11:06,548
load their content from the
teacher in their meetings

265
00:11:06,548 --> 00:11:07,388
and their coaching cycles.

266
00:11:07,388 --> 00:11:11,098
But admin might do it for
things like, teacher review.

267
00:11:11,278 --> 00:11:12,728
Like I've seen admin upload.

268
00:11:13,298 --> 00:11:16,508
The Danielson framework into
NoteboNotebookLMwed up with,

269
00:11:16,588 --> 00:11:19,738
observation notes that they've
had, and then ask it to come

270
00:11:19,738 --> 00:11:21,598
up with questions, which
I thought was super cool.

271
00:11:21,658 --> 00:11:22,348
Katie Ritter: Oh,
that's awesome.

272
00:11:22,511 --> 00:11:23,561
Bryson Min-Ryan: You know,
to jump in there, I've seen

273
00:11:23,561 --> 00:11:27,771
something similar with how
admins approach departmental

274
00:11:27,771 --> 00:11:31,381
initiatives within schools
teachers have the opportunity to

275
00:11:31,381 --> 00:11:32,491
work with coaches and develop.

276
00:11:33,251 --> 00:11:36,311
Ways to implement teaching,
objectives specific

277
00:11:36,311 --> 00:11:37,181
to their department.

278
00:11:37,901 --> 00:11:40,871
And then through the notebook,
the admins have been able

279
00:11:40,871 --> 00:11:43,841
to glean information or get
insights on the initiatives

280
00:11:43,841 --> 00:11:47,051
that the departments are taking
without necessarily always

281
00:11:47,051 --> 00:11:49,361
having to be like constantly
there, constantly in the know.

282
00:11:49,391 --> 00:11:53,261
'cause I know we're all very
busy, so to be able to use

283
00:11:53,261 --> 00:11:54,486
NoteboNotebookLMnd of give us.

284
00:11:55,391 --> 00:11:58,961
A glimpse and all of the
insights that we need to make

285
00:11:58,961 --> 00:12:01,571
these key decisions or, or
to support the individuals

286
00:12:01,571 --> 00:12:04,271
that we need to without
having to be everywhere

287
00:12:04,271 --> 00:12:07,151
at once is  a incredible
innovation that's come from it.

288
00:12:08,021 --> 00:12:10,041
Matthaeus Huelse: So if you
were an admin that has never

289
00:12:10,041 --> 00:12:11,991
used this before or you were
a coach that has never used it

290
00:12:11,991 --> 00:12:14,481
before, what would be the tip
you'd give them as a first step?

291
00:12:14,711 --> 00:12:16,381
okay, maybe you
wanna explore it.

292
00:12:16,381 --> 00:12:17,341
What would you tell them?

293
00:12:17,341 --> 00:12:18,631
Okay, here's how
you get started.

294
00:12:18,631 --> 00:12:19,486
Here's what you
should consider doing.

295
00:12:20,174 --> 00:12:21,944
Bryson Min-Ryan: So I think the
very first step, and this is

296
00:12:21,994 --> 00:12:25,144
universally applicable to how
I encourage anyone to interact

297
00:12:25,144 --> 00:12:30,274
with a variety of AI platforms,
is just get in there and start

298
00:12:30,274 --> 00:12:33,694
playing around with it and using
it and getting familiar with it.

299
00:12:34,264 --> 00:12:36,604
'cause it's always that
apprehension at first of.

300
00:12:36,934 --> 00:12:39,364
I've never interacted
with this platform before.

301
00:12:39,634 --> 00:12:40,684
What can I do with it?

302
00:12:41,104 --> 00:12:41,629
When I first

303
00:12:41,629 --> 00:12:43,224
When I first saw
NoteboNotebookLM it that

304
00:12:43,224 --> 00:12:46,764
wall, I hit that blank page
where I thought, alright,

305
00:12:46,764 --> 00:12:48,084
so it's a research tool.

306
00:12:48,084 --> 00:12:49,584
I'm not really doing research.

307
00:12:49,644 --> 00:12:50,964
How can I play around with it?

308
00:12:51,574 --> 00:12:54,184
I took a Google Doc that
I had, I would throw it in

309
00:12:54,184 --> 00:12:57,894
there, I would ask questions
about it, and suddenly the

310
00:12:57,894 --> 00:12:59,844
train starts rolling and
the gear starts turning.

311
00:12:59,844 --> 00:13:01,074
And it was like,
oh, I could do this.

312
00:13:02,319 --> 00:13:04,699
So once you get comfortable
with it,  just throw 'em in

313
00:13:04,699 --> 00:13:07,029
there, start asking questions
and play around with it,

314
00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:10,849
that's how you will gradually
refine that process and

315
00:13:10,849 --> 00:13:13,039
eventually have something
that transforms your approach

316
00:13:13,401 --> 00:13:15,351
Matthaeus Huelse: Yeah, it
sounds like you just gotta

317
00:13:15,381 --> 00:13:16,431
take the deep dive and try it.

318
00:13:16,481 --> 00:13:17,711
You just gotta try stuff out.

319
00:13:17,951 --> 00:13:18,461
Katie Ritter: Yeah.

320
00:13:18,561 --> 00:13:20,781
That also made me think, and
I feel like we've done, the

321
00:13:20,781 --> 00:13:23,121
three of us for sure have
done this ourselves too,

322
00:13:23,121 --> 00:13:24,321
I'm thinking like, could.

323
00:13:24,441 --> 00:13:27,251
Connect some dots for our
listeners, in the context

324
00:13:27,281 --> 00:13:29,561
of your PD programs that
you're leading, right?

325
00:13:29,611 --> 00:13:32,271
So for those of you where
it's not necessarily one-off

326
00:13:32,271 --> 00:13:34,971
PD sessions, but maybe it's a
year and you're supporting a

327
00:13:34,971 --> 00:13:36,681
brand new curriculum adoption.

328
00:13:36,931 --> 00:13:38,521
You're collecting along the way.

329
00:13:38,761 --> 00:13:41,641
Um, external resources
like the actual curriculum,

330
00:13:41,641 --> 00:13:42,961
resources, et cetera.

331
00:13:43,381 --> 00:13:46,571
That can also be a really
powerful, facilitator

332
00:13:46,571 --> 00:13:48,681
tool, for yourself.

333
00:13:48,681 --> 00:13:52,441
I wanna kind of flip the
script from  individual use

334
00:13:52,621 --> 00:13:58,031
and think about how we can
use NoteboNotebookLMcilitate,

335
00:13:58,241 --> 00:14:02,051
collaboration or to support
and foster collaboration

336
00:14:02,321 --> 00:14:03,411
because we know that.

337
00:14:03,441 --> 00:14:06,231
Piece is really important
for adult learners, right?

338
00:14:06,231 --> 00:14:09,561
How do we get adults talking
to each other so we can grow?

339
00:14:09,561 --> 00:14:12,021
If we flip the script from
how I can use it or get

340
00:14:12,021 --> 00:14:14,751
started personally, which
is great, but once we've

341
00:14:14,751 --> 00:14:19,591
gotten started, how can we,
help support collaboration

342
00:14:19,651 --> 00:14:21,331
among other adults?

343
00:14:22,061 --> 00:14:25,481
Bryson Min-Ryan: Yeah, great
question and one of the key

344
00:14:25,481 --> 00:14:28,241
advantages of NoteboNotebookLMat
it does allow sharing with

345
00:14:28,241 --> 00:14:30,851
other people so that you
can collaborate within it.

346
00:14:31,511 --> 00:14:32,921
I'm gonna take two
perspectives  to that

347
00:14:32,921 --> 00:14:33,791
question that you brought up.

348
00:14:33,791 --> 00:14:37,751
And the first, let's think
about internal collaboration.

349
00:14:38,051 --> 00:14:40,991
If I am working with other
instructional designers

350
00:14:40,991 --> 00:14:44,171
or coaches are getting
together, we can all

351
00:14:44,171 --> 00:14:45,581
contribute into the notebook.

352
00:14:45,921 --> 00:14:48,501
We have a much more unified
approach to what we're doing.

353
00:14:49,131 --> 00:14:52,251
Which can increase buy-in and
engagement from the learners

354
00:14:52,251 --> 00:14:54,981
that we work with because
their programs continue to

355
00:14:54,981 --> 00:14:56,541
be more familiar to them.

356
00:14:57,511 --> 00:14:59,301
Katie Ritter: Bryson, I'm gonna
ask you to dig just a little

357
00:14:59,301 --> 00:15:01,521
bit deeper in that, because
I think you're talking about

358
00:15:01,521 --> 00:15:04,861
the example that we actually
had you share, company wide.

359
00:15:04,961 --> 00:15:08,051
Will you share how you
first implemented it,

360
00:15:08,301 --> 00:15:10,641
with a team at Hamilton?

361
00:15:11,091 --> 00:15:13,971
Bryson Min-Ryan: So throw
back to where it all began.

362
00:15:14,056 --> 00:15:16,906
I had a team of IT technicians.

363
00:15:16,966 --> 00:15:18,736
So we're pivoting
the script here from

364
00:15:18,791 --> 00:15:20,981
A technical staff, but
this really highlights the,

365
00:15:21,321 --> 00:15:24,231
universal applications that
Notebook can support with.

366
00:15:24,951 --> 00:15:27,531
I wanted to find a way to
make that accessible to my

367
00:15:27,591 --> 00:15:31,731
technicians so that when they're
out in the field, they have

368
00:15:31,941 --> 00:15:35,301
quick, reliable and pertinent
information accessible to them.

369
00:15:36,166 --> 00:15:37,996
They would take all the
resolutions that they had

370
00:15:37,996 --> 00:15:40,786
on help desk tickets, and
we started accumulating

371
00:15:40,786 --> 00:15:42,016
that into a Google Doc.

372
00:15:42,666 --> 00:15:45,046
We took that Google Doc and
we put it in a notebook.

373
00:15:45,376 --> 00:15:47,776
We took manuals of
equipment that we had,

374
00:15:47,776 --> 00:15:48,856
we put it in a notebook.

375
00:15:48,856 --> 00:15:53,246
We took, warranty policies,
those really extensive documents

376
00:15:53,246 --> 00:15:57,296
full of legal jargon that only
the lawyers understand, and we

377
00:15:57,296 --> 00:15:59,606
put it into NoteboNotebookLM
isn't a large language

378
00:15:59,606 --> 00:16:02,756
model that's just scouring
the internet for answers.

379
00:16:03,446 --> 00:16:06,116
It's again, focused to the
school district we're in.

380
00:16:06,386 --> 00:16:11,066
So now my technicians were
able to feel empowered and find

381
00:16:11,066 --> 00:16:13,976
more agency in the work that
they do and more independence

382
00:16:14,036 --> 00:16:17,666
in it because they had a
reliable source of information.

383
00:16:17,666 --> 00:16:21,026
As a team we are able to
collaborate and bring together,

384
00:16:21,476 --> 00:16:25,136
and then again, as a team,
continue to find success with

385
00:16:25,406 --> 00:16:28,856
by being able to utilize this
platform on a day-to-day basis.

386
00:16:29,971 --> 00:16:30,421
Katie Ritter: I love that.

387
00:16:30,421 --> 00:16:31,771
So many applications.

388
00:16:31,771 --> 00:16:34,891
Like onboarding information
for teachers and

389
00:16:34,891 --> 00:16:36,481
staff in your schools.

390
00:16:36,481 --> 00:16:39,361
Curriculum maps and lesson
plans for teachers in

391
00:16:39,361 --> 00:16:40,711
particular content areas.

392
00:16:40,921 --> 00:16:42,691
I think of like
our tech coaches.

393
00:16:42,741 --> 00:16:45,531
What tech tools do they
actually have access to and

394
00:16:45,531 --> 00:16:47,691
curriculum programs do they
actually have access to?

395
00:16:47,691 --> 00:16:50,091
And how do we build that
out and help align that

396
00:16:50,091 --> 00:16:52,311
to these district goals
and initiatives better?

397
00:16:52,311 --> 00:16:53,781
Just so many uses.

398
00:16:53,811 --> 00:16:54,051
Matthaeus Huelse: Yeah.

399
00:16:54,111 --> 00:16:56,551
And I think the opportunity
here is documents that have

400
00:16:56,551 --> 00:16:58,801
these pieces of information
in there all the time.

401
00:16:58,801 --> 00:17:00,451
Like, oh yeah, we have
this document that tells

402
00:17:00,451 --> 00:17:03,151
you how to do this process
and nobody looks at it.

403
00:17:03,181 --> 00:17:05,881
Nobody's got time to go
into the actual document.

404
00:17:06,271 --> 00:17:07,141
But now.

405
00:17:07,301 --> 00:17:10,061
You have this collaborative
approach where you can keep

406
00:17:10,061 --> 00:17:12,911
everything there, you can update
it live, but you also now are

407
00:17:12,911 --> 00:17:17,981
putting this layer of an easy,
approachable, natural language

408
00:17:17,981 --> 00:17:21,101
approach where I can just ask
questions and get my answers

409
00:17:21,581 --> 00:17:23,171
reliably from my document.

410
00:17:23,201 --> 00:17:25,181
That I think such a
great opportunity.

411
00:17:25,701 --> 00:17:26,531
Katie, you know what time it is?

412
00:17:27,616 --> 00:17:28,246
Katie Ritter: time for.

413
00:17:28,246 --> 00:17:30,136
A quick break from our sponsors.

414
00:17:31,521 --> 00:17:33,541
Lisa Kuhn-Oldeges: Calling

coaching and tech integration
within their school district.

422
00:17:56,756 --> 00:17:59,366

to reserve your spot today.

428
00:18:18,206 --> 00:18:21,176
Katie Ritter: Coaches, feeling
stuck, seeing potential, but

429
00:18:21,186 --> 00:18:22,516
struggling to ignite change.

430
00:18:22,856 --> 00:18:24,206
You are not alone.

431
00:18:24,536 --> 00:18:27,296
What if there was a structured
path, a proven framework for

432
00:18:27,296 --> 00:18:29,316
impactful, sustainable change?

433
00:18:29,836 --> 00:18:32,596
We are introducing the
core of coaching framework.

434
00:18:32,826 --> 00:18:35,716
It's a practical tool to
help you build relationships,

435
00:18:35,936 --> 00:18:39,286
achieve sustainable change
in teacher practice, drive

436
00:18:39,286 --> 00:18:42,726
organizational shifts, and
achieve those lasting results

437
00:18:42,746 --> 00:18:44,056
that you are dying to see.

438
00:18:44,496 --> 00:18:45,946
This framework isn't theory.

439
00:18:46,306 --> 00:18:47,606
It's grounded in experience.

440
00:18:47,981 --> 00:18:49,801
Collaboration and research.

441
00:18:50,241 --> 00:18:53,631
We've partnered with leaders and
learned from coaches nationwide.

442
00:18:53,921 --> 00:18:56,731
It's a data driven tool
to help you guide systemic

443
00:18:56,731 --> 00:18:58,581
change at your organization.

446
00:19:08,172 --> 00:19:10,752
Welcome back to the
Restart Recharge podcast.

447
00:19:10,752 --> 00:19:14,382
We have Bryson Min-Ryan
here talking all things

448
00:19:14,382 --> 00:19:17,712
NoteboNotebookLMhow can
support you in your day-to-day

449
00:19:17,712 --> 00:19:21,502
work as a coach supporting
adult learners, and even some

450
00:19:21,502 --> 00:19:24,702
extra techie benefits, with
NoteboNotebookLM n, real quick.

451
00:19:24,722 --> 00:19:28,172
Couple of quick questions for
you before we wrap up here.

452
00:19:28,442 --> 00:19:31,412
One, I'm curious, how many
sources can we add to Notebook?

453
00:19:31,442 --> 00:19:35,072
LM as of February 26th, 2025,

454
00:19:35,147 --> 00:19:37,667
Matthaeus Huelse: Yeah, has
to be in there because it's

455
00:19:37,667 --> 00:19:38,627
not gonna stay like that.

456
00:19:38,627 --> 00:19:40,667
Katie Ritter: It very
well could be outdated

457
00:19:40,727 --> 00:19:42,287
when this episode airs.

458
00:19:42,837 --> 00:19:44,877
Bryson Min-Ryan: Yeah, ai,
certainly moves quickly and

459
00:19:44,877 --> 00:19:49,447
changes just as rapidly, but
as of right now, um, if you

460
00:19:49,447 --> 00:19:53,137
jump into Notebook, lm, you
can add up to all hundred

461
00:19:53,137 --> 00:19:54,757
sources into your notebook.

462
00:19:54,757 --> 00:19:58,552
So already super comprehensive,
but you can take it a step

463
00:19:58,552 --> 00:20:01,582
further with NoteboNotebookLM
and in that you got 300

464
00:20:01,582 --> 00:20:04,162
sources with a context
limit that's sky high.

465
00:20:04,777 --> 00:20:08,757
So, for as many resources as
you can add into the notebook,

466
00:20:08,967 --> 00:20:11,262
you should have plenty of room
to bring those together and

467
00:20:11,262 --> 00:20:12,462
pull the insights you can.

468
00:20:13,002 --> 00:20:16,822
Uh, as an avid notebook
user, not even, I have come

469
00:20:16,822 --> 00:20:18,592
close to hitting the limit.

470
00:20:18,592 --> 00:20:20,962
It's a really flexible and
generous software on that front.

471
00:20:22,162 --> 00:20:22,552
Katie Ritter: Yeah.

472
00:20:22,552 --> 00:20:26,302
And just to add some quick
clarification for listeners,

473
00:20:26,352 --> 00:20:29,592
NoteboNotebookLM you can
get that either through

474
00:20:29,622 --> 00:20:31,752
a paid Gmail account.

475
00:20:32,022 --> 00:20:35,802
You can also get that if
your school EDU domain has

476
00:20:35,852 --> 00:20:40,052
purchased the The Gemini
for education add-on, you

477
00:20:40,052 --> 00:20:43,532
would then have access to
NoteboNotebookLMShameless plug.

478
00:20:43,932 --> 00:20:48,972
You can select forward edge to
lead your free PD through 2025.

479
00:20:48,972 --> 00:20:50,322
If you do purchase that, add-on.

480
00:20:50,322 --> 00:20:51,312
Matthaeus Huelse: Super smooth.

481
00:20:51,312 --> 00:20:51,877
Well done.

482
00:20:52,482 --> 00:20:53,082
Katie Ritter: Um,

483
00:20:53,442 --> 00:20:56,762
and then my last question
that I, really wanna make

484
00:20:56,762 --> 00:20:59,012
sure to touch, 'cause we've
talked about potentially

485
00:20:59,012 --> 00:21:00,302
some sensitive things, right?

486
00:21:00,302 --> 00:21:02,552
Teachers may be spinning or
coaches might be spinning

487
00:21:02,552 --> 00:21:04,362
about, some student information.

488
00:21:04,362 --> 00:21:06,522
So I do think it's really
important for us to highlight

489
00:21:06,522 --> 00:21:10,612
some high notes around the
privacy with NoteboNotebookLM

490
00:21:11,207 --> 00:21:13,187
Bryson Min-Ryan: I think
it's it's really good that

491
00:21:13,187 --> 00:21:16,417
you bring that up because
true cybersecurity is always

492
00:21:16,417 --> 00:21:18,397
at the forefront when it
comes to K 12, especially.

493
00:21:19,582 --> 00:21:21,682
When it has to do
with student data or

494
00:21:21,682 --> 00:21:22,942
confidential information,

495
00:21:23,257 --> 00:21:23,677
Matthaeus Huelse: Mm-hmm.

496
00:21:24,202 --> 00:21:27,622
Bryson Min-Ryan: what we can
be reassured with is that in an

497
00:21:27,622 --> 00:21:30,352
education domain, within your
district or school account,

498
00:21:30,682 --> 00:21:33,622
if you jump onto Notebook, LM
right now, regardless of the

499
00:21:33,622 --> 00:21:37,642
version education domains have
privacy protections whatever

500
00:21:37,642 --> 00:21:39,352
interactions are happening
within it, they're not

501
00:21:39,352 --> 00:21:43,252
referencing external databases,
so your information is secured.

502
00:21:44,107 --> 00:21:47,257
If you have that notebook,
LM plus version, that

503
00:21:47,287 --> 00:21:49,867
privacy and security
extends to that as well.

504
00:21:50,325 --> 00:21:52,185
Matthaeus Huelse: So bottom
line, if I'm using my

505
00:21:52,185 --> 00:21:55,695
school work account, then
my data will be safe if

506
00:21:55,695 --> 00:21:58,305
I use NoteboNotebookLM'm
FERPA compliant

507
00:21:58,305 --> 00:21:59,835
Bryson Min-Ryan: That said,
we'll, we'll add a quick

508
00:21:59,835 --> 00:22:02,115
clause there that we should
always be prudent about any

509
00:22:02,115 --> 00:22:04,995
information that we are putting
out there, Especially since

510
00:22:04,995 --> 00:22:06,315
we're linking it as sources.

511
00:22:06,315 --> 00:22:09,435
So while it may exist in
NoteboNotebookLMut it somewhere

512
00:22:09,435 --> 00:22:11,565
else first, so I will wash my

513
00:22:11,565 --> 00:22:12,375
hands with that.

514
00:22:12,955 --> 00:22:14,515
Matthaeus Huelse: alright,
I thank you so much.

515
00:22:14,565 --> 00:22:16,305
We are gonna wrap it
up our last question.

516
00:22:16,305 --> 00:22:18,225
What are your top three
tips for our listeners that

517
00:22:18,225 --> 00:22:19,155
are jumping into Notebook?

518
00:22:19,155 --> 00:22:19,575
Lm.

519
00:22:20,290 --> 00:22:21,250
Bryson Min-Ryan: Top three tips.

520
00:22:21,310 --> 00:22:23,410
First and foremost,
go use NotebookLM.

521
00:22:23,830 --> 00:22:26,530
Hopefully we've excited you
about it here today, but as

522
00:22:26,530 --> 00:22:29,410
with any AI tool, the best
way to learn about it is to

523
00:22:29,410 --> 00:22:30,640
just get hands on with it.

524
00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:33,850
So start there, start playing
around with it and see what you

525
00:22:33,850 --> 00:22:35,680
can begin to come up with there.

526
00:22:36,580 --> 00:22:37,800
Katie Ritter: How do
they get to NotebookLM?

527
00:22:38,425 --> 00:22:40,435
Bryson Min-Ryan: To get
to NNotebookLM you can go

528
00:22:40,435 --> 00:22:43,615
to Notebooklm.google.com.

529
00:22:44,110 --> 00:22:44,890
Matthaeus Huelse:
That is correct.

530
00:22:44,890 --> 00:22:45,010
Yeah.

531
00:22:45,315 --> 00:22:45,675
Katie Ritter: Tip two.

532
00:22:46,290 --> 00:22:46,650
Bryson Min-Ryan: Yeah.

533
00:22:46,860 --> 00:22:51,320
Tip two,   Notebook, LM
relies on our sources, so

534
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,560
maintaining the quality of
those sources means that

535
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,590
you maintain the quality of
the insights and the outputs

536
00:22:57,590 --> 00:22:58,760
you're getting from NotebookLM.

537
00:22:59,610 --> 00:23:01,140
If we're taking teaching notes.

538
00:23:01,650 --> 00:23:04,470
Ensure we're keeping those up to
date, ensure that  we're taking

539
00:23:04,470 --> 00:23:08,160
down re relevant information,
or we're standardizing how we're

540
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,260
approaching those one-on-ones
, if we maintain the quality of

541
00:23:11,260 --> 00:23:14,830
those sources, we maintain the
quality of the insights that we

542
00:23:14,830 --> 00:23:16,540
can pull out of those sources.

543
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,010
And I think the last  and
most exciting one, as

544
00:23:21,010 --> 00:23:25,680
we mentioned, before the
break, was the capability

545
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,580
of NotebookLM to really
generate a number of different

546
00:23:30,270 --> 00:23:31,920
mediums with which we can.

547
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,040
Continue to do that
supplemental training.

548
00:23:35,610 --> 00:23:38,310
So it's one thing to bring all
of these resources together and

549
00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:41,910
for us to get what we need out
of it, but it's another to be

550
00:23:41,910 --> 00:23:44,490
able to collaborate with those
we're attempting to support

551
00:23:44,490 --> 00:23:45,840
through coaching or learning.

552
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,150
So we can make a
notebook public facing.

553
00:23:49,150 --> 00:23:49,870
Katie Ritter: Love that.

554
00:23:49,900 --> 00:23:51,880
We're really empowering
our learners that way.

555
00:23:52,060 --> 00:23:52,480
Matthaeus Huelse: Indeed.

556
00:23:52,850 --> 00:23:55,640
So what if our listeners
would love to hunt you

557
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,510
down and ask you more
questions about NotebookLM?

558
00:23:57,530 --> 00:23:58,250
Where can they find you?

559
00:23:58,850 --> 00:24:02,100
Bryson Min-Ryan: You can find
me on LinkedIn, Bryson Min-Ryan,

560
00:24:02,190 --> 00:24:04,811
and you'll see me up there,
finding all sorts of ways to

561
00:24:04,816 --> 00:24:05,875
empower tomorrow's learners.

562
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:07,030
Matthaeus Huelse: Yeah.

563
00:24:07,130 --> 00:24:07,580
Perfect.

564
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:08,030
Okay.

565
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:08,390
Katie Ritter: Awesome.

566
00:24:08,750 --> 00:24:10,010
Bryson, thank you so much.

567
00:24:10,010 --> 00:24:11,240
I'm really excited about this.

568
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,310
Part one, I'm also super stoked.

569
00:24:13,310 --> 00:24:15,875
Tune back in a few weeks because
we're gonna have a teacher

570
00:24:16,175 --> 00:24:19,810
talking about all the ways
that NotebookLM could be used.

571
00:24:20,315 --> 00:24:22,355
To directly support
teachers and teaching and

572
00:24:22,355 --> 00:24:23,495
learning in the classroom.

573
00:24:23,745 --> 00:24:24,825
Taking this a step further.

574
00:24:25,065 --> 00:24:25,755
Matthaeus Huelse: Exactly right.

575
00:24:25,755 --> 00:24:27,615

stick 'em in an NotebookLM

579
00:24:34,595 --> 00:24:36,665
Matthaeus Huelse: exactly plus,
if you just really wanted to

580
00:24:36,665 --> 00:24:38,765
know what this looks like when
we're here being crazy talking

581
00:24:38,765 --> 00:24:40,795
to each other, there's video
evidence of it now, so you

582
00:24:40,795 --> 00:24:41,815
can check it out on YouTube,

583
00:24:41,965 --> 00:24:44,095
Katie Ritter: which I'm not
happy about because I quit

584
00:24:44,425 --> 00:24:47,035
carrying what I looked like
for these podcast recordings

585
00:24:47,035 --> 00:24:48,625
when we no longer did video.

586
00:24:48,965 --> 00:24:52,865
Now the last one, my
hair is a wild mess.

587
00:24:53,075 --> 00:24:55,020
Matthaeus Huelse: Hey, dear
listeners, both of us have

588
00:24:55,020 --> 00:24:57,695

up, so don't take us too
