English as a Second Language teacher, tech, love photography, reading, and music.
Creating stories for ESL students. Here is a beta version.

AI wrote the story. Google Labs video and image. I used a text-to-speech generator from Murf.ai for the audio.

I used Zoho Forms to combine everything together.

I've been trying out Google's NotebookLLM tool. It lets you turn documents into podcasts. I uploaded my 'How to Teach ESL' notes, and it made an interesting podcast from them. #ESL #teaching #notebookllm #edtech
