NotebookLM only uses the sources you upload. This means you stay in control of what students are learning and how they interact with the material. You can upload articles, lesson notes, or primary sources, and everything students do stays connected to those resources.
This matters because as teachers, we intentionally create learning environments where sources are thoughtful, purposeful, and aligned to our goals. NotebookLM supports that by allowing you to work only with materials you have already selected and vetted. Instead of spending time addressing questionable information or redirecting conversations, you can stay focused on the learning itself.
