Libraries are much more than just rows of books—they are gateways where imagination truly comes to life! ✨
From sparking inquiry to fostering community engagement, our libraries are vibrant hubs for new experiences and endless discovery. Great work @LibMateja @WilderWildcats!

NotebookLM just went from smart… to unstoppable.
And nobody is talking about how big this update really is.
Google just gave Notebook LM the ability to read your photos → handwritten notes, textbook pages, graphs, screenshots.
Here’s how to use it:
→ Upload any image (notes, diagrams, whiteboards).
→ Notebook LM runs OCR and turns it into clean text.
→ Ask it anything about the image.
→ Use Deep Research to pull in verified web sources.
→ Build a complete research hub in minutes.
This is the first time your messy notes become a searchable knowledge base.
Save this video, you’ll need it.
Full guide is inside AI Money Lab. DM me for the link. 💬

Go from blank slide to polished presentation faster with Canvas in Gemini.
Now you can ask Gemini to “create a presentation” with a single prompt (and all your project notes). Try it out for yourself:

Now, Gemini’s Deep Research can pull in info from @Gmail, @GoogleDrive, and Chat when you connect your @GoogleWorkspace account to give you more context-aware reports.
To try it, just select “Deep Research” in Gemini on desktop and choose your sources. Coming to mobile soon.
Shout-out to two amazing @JCPSKY principals, @VLWGOGREEN and @RamseyPrincipal! 🏆 Their tech leadership drives equity & student success. Proud they're in the national spotlight with @dpvils, but their impact for students truly matters! #TechEquity @HighlandPROUD @RamseyMS_JCPS
ALT Vanessa Green, from Highland, MS, is quoted as saying, "Digital equity should enhance teaching and learning. With leadership support and resources, schools must ensure true access for all, putting tech in every student's hands, not just some."
ALT Katie Laduke, principal at Ramsey MS, is quoted as saying, "Lead by example." Don't ask your staff to do anything you're not willing to do yourself. This isn't just a saying, though; it's a practice that builds trust and respect."
In the past month, I attended two different PL events with @Coach_Huelse. Despite being literally just weeks apart, new features and new learning in @GeminiApp are amazing! Looking forward to leading our @JCPSKY teachers and students into the age of GenAI! #KAST #GenAI
We’re thrilled to have @ForwardEdgeNet @Coach_Huelse kicking off our Fall #KAST event with Gemini Google Academy!
❤️💙💚💛 How will YOUR district use @Google Gemini to transform your school district?!

How engaging is @LibMateja! A library isn't just a building full of books 📚. It's a space where stories come alive, creating new characters in our minds, and igniting the fire of imagination ✨. More than shelves, it's a launchpad for dreams. @JCPS_LMS #JCPSKY #DavPilkey
