Notebook LM - Your Rad, AI-Enhanced Trapper Keeper

Remember that amazing Trapper Keeper you used in school, the one with the neon grid fading into an 8-bit sunset or the cute puppies? It was an amazing tool - a three ring binder with pockets for your grape-scented pencil and PacMan eraser and dividers to keep your math homework separate from those cool S-shaped doodles. And then there's the sound of the velcro as you opened the flap meant you were ready to learn... or to write another cleverly folded letter to your crush.What if you had an AI-enhanced tool that you could load all of your resources for 6th Grade ELA, your district's school board policies, or your favorite recipes into? What if that tool, then, became your own, personal ChatGPT-like resource that helped you organize and make sense of all of the resources you put in it? What if you could ask it questions about all of the research papers you'd loaded into it or could have it generate lesson ideas and resources around specific texts?
