The Problem
When a new textbook edition arrives or a unit changes, existing quizzes often no longer match the updated material. Rewriting assessments entirely from scratch requires time that busy teachers simply do not have.
The Idea
Gemini Notebook operates strictly using the specific sources provided to it. By uploading a single chapter, every quiz question generated is drawn directly from that chapter and includes a citation linking to the exact passage from which it came.
The Steps
Step 1. Scan the chapter: Photograph or scan the required chapter pages and combine them into a single PDF file.
Step 2. Create the notebook: Open a new notebook and upload the chapter PDF as its only source.
Step 3. Generate the quiz: In the Studio panel, generate a quiz (and add flashcards or a study guide if helpful for student practice).
Step 4. Review and edit: Cross-check every question against its citation, rewording unclear phrasing and removing weak items.
Step 5. Store and reuse: Keep the notebook saved so you can swap in a new chapter and regenerate assessments whenever textbook editions are updated.
