Next-Gen ESE: Differentiating with NotebookLM and Immersive AR

Bridging the equity gap for Exceptional Student Education students is critical, and AI and augmented reality together offer powerful new ways to do it. This hands-on workshop explores how to harness Google's NotebookLM to personalize and scaffold instruction, turning complex curriculum texts into customized study guides, simplified summaries, interactive audio overviews and themed visual overviews tailored to specific IEP accommodations. Then dive into immersive AR tools, including Merge EDU, McGraw Hill AR and QuiverVision, that turn abstract science, math and literacy concepts into interactive, tactile 3D experiences for neurodivergent learners. Learn how to design multi-sensory lessons that blend AI-assisted literacy support with spatial AR visualizations to boost engagement and retention and help students bypass traditional learning barriers. Whether you are a classroom teacher, ESE specialist or instructional technology coach, you will leave with a practical roadmap and a vetted digital toolkit featuring implementation frameworks, ESE-focused lesson templates and a technology crosswalk guide that matches learning barriers to targeted AI and AR solutions. All workshops are BYOD and require All Access or Session + Registration to attend.
