I am currently working on expanding my skill set by incorporating AI tools. Although adapting to new technologies can be challenging, leveraging these resources offers significant benefits for professional growth.
AI Brief’s, at IQs Corner, are produced by requesting Google NotebookLM to generate a narrative summary of one or more PDF journal articles. Google NotebookLM takes an uploaded article and with the prompt to “write a narrative summary of the article.” While I find the first draft promising, I do fine the need to make corrections, add important links and missing information, and do more editing to enhance the briefs accuracy and informativeness. Future plans include using this AI tool to summarize multiple articles, find similarities and differences between the articles, and create comparative tables.
These incremental steps mark my transition toward utilizing AI to support one of my primary professional interests: producing informative blog and social media posts aimed at professionals such as school psychologists and special education teachers working with students who often are marginalized in educational contexts. The goal is to help bridge the gap between theory, technology, research, and practical application.
Feedback is encouraged and may be directed to iqmcgrew@gmail.com or via the social media platform (LinkedIn, Twitter/X, BlueSky) comment feature where this blog post was discovered. I’m hoping to add AI Briefs as a regular feature of IQs Corner Blog and associated social media platforms.
