I was really excited to give this program a try since seeing it in action at a Keynote speech during our convention last year. In it, the speaker mentioned a student who used NotebookLM‘s audio overview tool to take her journals and ideas from an entire semester and condense it into a podcast.
In my previous Summary of Learning assignments, I have really struggled to take everything I learned in the course of a semester and squeeze it into 5-7 minutes… so I figured this was a perfect opportunity to try something different!
What I did…
Here is a quick video highlighting what I did to reach the finished product:
*Here is the journal that I am referring to in the video.*
My Summary of Learning for EC&I 830
Would I do this again?
I think that in the future, I might use NotebookLM to sum up my ideas and thoughts, but not use the Audio Overview option to record the audio itself. It took quite a bit of trial and error, and at the end of the day I think that I would be able to take key points summed up with the help of NotebookLM and craft my own script to record.
Thanks for a great semester!
