One Lesson, Many Learners: Differentiation with NotebookLM and Gemini Gems

This practical, hands-on session shows K–12 teachers how to use Google’s NotebookLM, Gemini, and Gems to create efficient, curriculum-based differentiation while keeping grade-level goals and local curriculum at the center. You will see how to use your own materials such as curriculum resources, unit plans, texts, slides, rubrics, and assessments to generate classroom-ready supports faster and with more consistency. Teachers will learn repeatable workflows they can use immediately. Create multiple pathways to the same learning target through scaffolds, clarity supports, and meaningful extensions, plus options that reduce barriers without reducing expectations. Generate student-friendly directions, vocabulary and background supports, structured discussion and writing supports, exemplars, and alternative ways for students to show learning. You will see how NotebookLM keeps outputs grounded in the sources you provide, and how Gems let you build virtual assistants for a unit or course so supports stay consistent and easy across a team.
