The Future of Lesson Planning with AI-Powered Notebooks
Using AI-Powered Notebooks to Organize Teaching and Learning Resources
Lesson planning has never been about creating more content. It’s about finding the right content, connecting ideas, and turning resources into meaningful learning experiences. As educators manage curriculum documents, lesson materials, assessments, articles, presentations, and professional learning resources, keeping everything organized and accessible can be a challenge.
In this free 30-minute session, educators will explore how a new generation of AI-powered notebooks is transforming planning and preparation. Through examples using both Microsoft Copilot Notebooks and Google Gemini Notebooks, you’ll discover how AI can help organize instructional resources, surface key insights, synthesize information, and transform existing materials into practical teaching tools.
Rather than focusing on a specific platform, this session explores the instructional workflows, planning strategies, and knowledge management practices that help educators work more efficiently and make better use of the resources they already have. You’ll see how AI-powered notebooks can support lesson planning, curriculum development, instructional coaching, professional learning, meeting preparation, and more.
Designed for educators, instructional coaches, and school leaders, this session provides practical ideas that can be applied in Microsoft, Google, or mixed-technology environments.
