Notebook LM

 How have I never heard of this technology? This is the single most effective thing I have ever used in the area of AI, and one more tool for my personal learning toolkit. NotebookLM is a AI-powered tool developed by Google. What makes it unique is it does not just pull information from the whole of the World Wide Web, but it allows you to upload your own sources, like class reading, PDFs, websites, or lecture notes. This allows your results to be more specific to your content. For the purpose of trying the technology, I had it create a 2 month plan to prepare for a long hike I am doing with my church in June. After I uploaded about 7 websites and a 42-page PDF informational packet, it gave me a week by week outline to prepare myself for hiking around 8 miles a day, for someone who is not currently in shape. I also asked NotebookLM for a specific first aid kit supply list. This is a fantastic resource. 

I can also see how valuable this tool is for learning as a college student. In the "Studio" there are options to create mind maps, flashcards, or quizzes. Uploading lecture notes and videos can turn into useful studying content with just a few clicks.

 From this week's video, I find PLNs a little overwhelming. I do not know if it is because of my age, but thinking about how individual PLNs are formed feels like a lot. After a lot of thinking, I realize I am constantly building an individual PLN. I do feel my "accidental" PLN is already in place. I have worked in the field of project management for over 15 years, with experience in construction for nearly 30 years. I have many colleagues, social bookmarks, content development already under my belt. I realize I video conference nearly daily in regards to my professional career. What might seem a daily tasks, are just notches in my PLN development.

 Welcome to my first blog post! I am very new to this process, and I feel like I am going to learn a lot using a new technology. I feel like blog posts are old for some people, but I have never used one. I am hoping to use this technology to introduce other students to new types of technology, especially in the field of project management. Best of luck to everyone this semester.

First off the bat, I noticed the best blogs are easier to read. I already applied a new template to my blog to make it easier on the eyes. The next thing I noticed, is short stories or paragraphs help organize information. For example, the EdTech Blog is organized so someone could pick a topic and see the according information easily. I would also include providing value would be an important part of a blog post. Hopefully I can use some of these as examples of how to incorporate a good blog post.
