Great day of connecting and learning with other Canadian teacher librarians at Treasure Mountain Canada.

Where is your thinking? What is your view on when the “cheating” happens? #olasc

Loving learning with Diana Maliszewski and Kim Davidson about AI in education at the #olasc

Is it just me or is the most stressful part of packing for a conference trying to figure out what accessories and cords you need for your devices?! #olasc

😭 beautiful, Andy.

Jen Giffen @virtualgiff.bsky.social · Dec 23

I love that you took (and continue to take) courageous conversations to the next level. Every time I think about AI, I hear your voice in my head. You’re a great critical friend, Tom. Thank you.

@bribriggs.bsky.social needs to post the picture of him wearing his Canadian costume. Your name fully came up before we started recording, Bryon!

Well this is a very cool NotebookLM update!

I just need a new interface. I find it lack user friendliness

Dan Fitzpatrick @theaieducator.io · Dec 20

Did you know that a new update from NotebookLM means you can now join the audio overview podcast in real time and ask questions?

I tested it out for you by uploading my new book and asking the hosts questions about it 👇

For my own personal learning, this is blowing my mind.
