It is time to review what I have baked and summarize what I have learned along the way through my time baking and combining baking with using AI. I decided to experiment with Notebook LM\u2019s video creation feature again and this time be more specific with my video prompt. I tasked Notebook LM to create a whiteboard video and suggested it try: (1) List the things \u201cAthena\u201d has learned over time throughout all the sources. (2) Briefly summarize each source.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/athena336.opened.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9959\/2026\/03\/Sourdough__AI__A_Learning_Journey.mp4\" preload=\"none\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<p>Through this journey, my favourite part was learning to bake new recipes. Although they were not always perfect or \u201cthe best thing I\u2019ve ever made,\u201c I am proud of my overall growth and recognition when using AI as an aide or guide for my ideas and recipes. I think the most valuable experience throughout this process has been to explore various generative AI platforms such as Google Gemini, Notebook LM, Claude AI, and ChatGPT. I think my favourite generative AI platform would have to be Notebook LM, purely because I can see how valuable it could be as a teacher in a classroom setting. Notebook LM seems to be right now a valuable resource for teachers because I think it would do a really good job at diversifying ways students can learn new information. For example, if you needed to teach a student about landforms, you could find some creditable resources and ask Notebook LM to create a podcast, video, report, slides presentation, and more. Granted, these might not always be accurate, so it is very important that as a teacher, you review the content before sharing it with students.<\/p>\n<p>My least favourite or valuable generative AI platform would have to be ChatGPT. It was useful and did what I needed it to, I just personally didn\u2019t like it compared to other generative AI platforms. Despite having challenges with both Google Gemini and Claude AI when asking them to create or review a recipe. From experiences outside of this inquiry (i.e., in my EdTech class), I have grown fond of these AI platforms and think they will be useful and have a lot of value to support planning and UDL in my future teaching career.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons alignwide is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75 has-custom-font-size is-style-fill has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-cool-to-warm-spectrum-gradient-background has-background has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/notebooklm.google.com\/notebook\/2b5466dd-0693-4fb4-8560-e4806004eeb6\"><strong>Notebook LM Chat<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As I prepare for my practicum, where I will be teaching a grade 2 class, my final task was to bake the perfect loaf of bread to gift to my mentor teacher!
