Hello Jenny, I appreciate your thoughtful reflection of the use of Notebook LM in terms your national organisation that sets guidelines for school exams. It makes me think that to answer my above question in my context: “Can I demonstrate it’s use in ways that do not take away my students’ opportunity to do their own critical and creative thinking?” that I need to look to similar documents from the IB and perhaps my school. In my case this means doing a close reading of Effective Citing and Referencing, the IB’s Academic integrity policy Appendix 6: Guidance on the use of artificial intelligence tools as well as my own school’s AI and academic integrity policies. This would clarify how and probably if it is even worth doing so as you raised this very worth while point in your above post. Once I have an adequate answer I will share it in this chat.
