AI hallucinations and low-quality background knowledge can affect the reliability of artificial intelligence. Discover how Google’s NotebookLM leverages existing curriculum documents, district policies, and other educational resources to generate high-quality, dynamic, and interactive materials. This session will equip educators and administrators with practical strategies for using NotebookLM to create audio podcasts, summarize and evaluate data, answer source-based questions, develop study guides, and generate other instructional content. Participants will explore real-world examples, engage in hands-on practice, and gain actionable insights on integrating AI to streamline their workflow and enhance student engagement.

Can artificial intelligence create stories as engaging and nuanced as a human writer? This interactive session invites participants to engage in a Socratic exploration of authorship by comparing two distinct stories—one written by a human and the other generated by AI. Through a structured fishbowl discussion, participants will analyze elements such as emotional depth, dialogue authenticity, and stylistic patterns to determine which story was crafted by AI. Participants will also reflect on how AI’s role in creative writing challenges our understanding of artistic expression and originality. The session concludes with a discussion on equipping students with critical evaluation skills to differentiate between AI-generated and human-authored content. Prepare to listen, reflect, and engage in a thought-provoking conversation that blurs the lines between machine and human creativity.
