Around the Web, MLC Tips and Tricks:

From the most recent Chromebook Classroom with John Sowash, September Updates and particularly his update on NotebookLM. What is NotebookLM: It's a Google product, basically an AI-powered research and writing assistant that works best with the sources you upload. Can be found at https://notebooklm.google/ So basically, it's an AI bot that is based solely on the content and resources you provide, not the general web resources as other large language models use. https://www.chrmbook.com/s9e2/

SchoolVibe is education related news, views and clues you can use to power your students, classrooms and schools into the modern world and beyond. In this episode, we welcome Andrea back and we discuss what we've been doing since last we recorded, Darryl meeting someone who is literally changing history. Plus we talk about the amazing week of conferences and what our ultimate conference might look like. And the age old debate over reading comprehension when reading on a screen vs on a magical piece of paper (can you tell which way I'm leaning??)

SchoolVibe is education related news, views and clues you can use to power your students, classrooms and schools into the modern world and beyond. In this, another solo episode, Darryl wraps up the discussion around his new project, The Great Redemption of Technology. He takes a look at how we got here..where here is our relationship with technology. Additionally, he'll talk about the role Tech plays in the world, in the lives of kids and in education.

I had to talk about it. I share a couple of my "why's behind school shootins..how we (law enforcement) should respond based on what we've learned..the very least we can do to minimize the casualties and...what we can do to help prevent these mass casualty events. I hope this is helpful to someone, I know I've come away with some things I can hopefully implement at my school.
