Challenge #1: If my course were a pizza: Use Sora to create a visual metaphor for your course as a pizza—what would the toppings be? (e.g., spicy debate, cheesy theory, crunchy data).

or Challenge #2: Visualize critical thinking: Prompt a short, surreal scene that represents “critical thinking” without using any words. Is it a maze made of books? A brain opening like a flower? Something totally unexpected?

or Challenge #3: My Job, as a Metaphor: Prompt Sora to visualize your job or role using only metaphor. Are you a lighthouse? A traffic conductor? A gardener? A puzzle master? Be as detailed as possible.

Q: How might a tool that can see and respond to real-world objects, writing, or student work in real time change the way you teach, give feedback, or support students during class activities?

Challenge: Ask the NotebookLM questions about Student-Centered Learning. Test out the other features (e.g., audio overview, study guide, mind map, etc.).

Q: What kinds of assignments or projects could be enhanced by having students interact with a curated NotebookLM?

I thought the Perplexity engine at least gave a guess and some reasons for why/who the candidate for the next pope were.

Chat Playground is a great tool to search multiple engines at once, quick side-by-side comparison

That was crazy what this free software could do, I can't imagine the paid version. I'm glad I still have students do stuff by hand and then send it in, but I'm not sure I can even trust uploaded images either.

I can also understand the allure of escaping "busy work" for students, or what they might consider busy work.
