We began the demolition of the Healing Justice House several days ago. Scattergood Friends School is included in the title to these blog posts because some people working on the demolition, including me, have been hosted at the school.
Another part of Scattergood’s involvement is that I was so glad to be able to share about this work during the whole school community meeting yesterday afternoon.
As I sat this morning, wondering how I might describe this project and its significance, I naturally (for me these days) turned to my go-to system for research and creation of educational materials, Google’s NotebookLM. And, as always, I’m blown away by what was created. I’m aware of the uninformed public’s reactions to “artificial intelligence”, but that is not what this is about. NotebookLM is a new type of AI application that has a very specific purpose, which is to only work with the sources of information you load into your notebook. This includes using your own images in the videos, reports, infographics, etc. that you can ask it to produce. Some my images are included “Building the Future” and in the photo gallery below
You can judge for yourself the quality of the educational products it can produce, some of which are included below.
