LESLIE LIKES: NotebookLM
Coach Keith Recommends
NotebookLM is an AI-powered learning notebook that works only from a student’s own materials—class notes, PDFs, slides, articles, and textbook chapters. It helps students organize information, understand content more deeply, and study more efficiently without pulling in random internet sources.
