Michelle Kang, CEO of NAEYC, makes a powerful point on the new IdeaSpark podcast: The real measure of tech isn't minutes; it’s use. Technology supports learning, but cannot replace nurture.

We heard you loud and clear: you want a way to organize your notebooks. So...

Meet Collections!

A brand new tab, Collections operate like photo albums or playlists: zero rigid folder structures with maximum flexibility. Add notebooks to as many collections as you want, or skip them and stick with the main "My Notebooks" tab.

Collections are rolling out starting today to all users. Let us know what you think! (you always do 😉)

Big things are brewing 😉 To whet your appetite while you wait, here are a few features that have dropped recently:

📃Any of your sources uploaded from @googledrive will automatically sync when you make changes to them
📌 Pin your notebooks to the top of your homepage for easy access (web only for now!)
🛝Reorder or delete slides in your new or existing Slide Decks (web only for now!)
📲 Share specific artifacts from your phone or on the web
⬇️ Download slide decks on mobile
🔎 Search for notebooks on mobile

Instead of asking "What's wrong with this child?", we need to ask "What's strong with this child?" YES!! 👏👏👏

@tonyvincent It's only unhinged if it doesn't help people remember it. I am a huge fan of alliterative language. Shows creativity. 😉😁

[Early Childhood ITC @ECCITC]

@ISTE_ASCD BINGO!!! (Also, I'm so ready to go!) 😍

[ISTE+ASCD @ISTE_ASCD]

Only 50% of teachers feel their PD makes a difference. Why? Because it lacks personalization and support.

⌚It's time to build coherent systems that support applied learning, not just compliance.

Mo sources mo problems? Not anymore:

Rolling out now, NotebookLM can auto-label & categorize sources (when you have 5+), so you can spend less time scrolling and more time thinking/learning/philosophizing, etc.

Rename, reorganize, & personalize (emojis!) to your ❤️'s content.

[Early Childhood ITC @ECCITC]

@CasPear31 What great (and tasty 😋) application of math, measurement, and computational thinking!

[Early Childhood ITC @ECCITC]

@NotebookLM Not sure if this has been addressed, but it would be nice to export flashcards as an interactive standalone or least get the code to import into Gemini and code it from there. Students that can't access NotebookLM due to age restrictions cannot use flashcards within NotebookLM.

[Early Childhood ITC @ECCITC]

@NotebookLM I can't make a Notebook public on my Educator account, ai can only sharw with individuals in my district. It would also be nice to share a public link to force a copy of a Notebook to share a template Notebook with starter sources for new users to build upon.
