Google AI for the New Year - Recorded Webinar

Recently I had the privilege to offer a free online session for the Teacher Innovation Network "EdTech Playground" series titled "AI for the New Year" where the theme was AI updates for schools.

For my session I presented on new AI features for Gemini, NotebookLM, and Google Classroom from the last few months, and how they can be used for teaching and learning. This included:
  • 3️⃣ New Gemini 3 model
  • 🍌 Nano Banana 3 Pro for advanced images and infographics
  • 🖼️ Slideshow creation in Gemini
  • 💯 SAT Practice Tests in Gemini
  • 💎 Gem sharing and the EduGems website
  • 🔊 Audio lessons in Classroom
  • 📊 NotebookLM infographics, slidedecks, and data tables
  • 🗯️ NotebookLM for graphic novels
The Teacher Innovation Network was kind enough to make the recorded video available for people to view if they were not able to attend the live session. See below to watch the recording, as well as access the resources I shared in the session.

Feel free to share with others who may benefit, and let me know what AI updates you are most excited about.
