Are you looking for ways to reclaim your planning time without sacrificing quality or alignment? Join me for a hands-on, 50-minute workshop designed specifically for K-12 educators ready to move beyond the AI hype and into practical classroom application. In this session, we will explore two powerful, free tools from Google: Gemini, your creative brainstorming partner, and NotebookLM, your personalized research assistant. You’ll learn how to "ground" AI in the North Carolina Standard Course of Study (NCSCOS) to generate standards-aligned hooks, activities, and rubrics in seconds.
