Welcome to Teachavision episode number 61! It has been a while since we published a podcast, so we’d like to catch up and tell you about some of the things happening behind the scenes at Screenless Allies. Then we’re heading to the 2026 National Federation of the Blind Convention in Austin, Texas! Using Gemini Notebook, I’m talking about some of the AI technology I saw and experienced at the convention. From driverless cars, to glasses, and robotic vacuum cleaners, we have it all right here, on Teachavision! Yes, I used AI to help create part of this episode—but I also used my brain! The experiences, opinions, and questions came from my own recording. I also supplied official sources to provide context and fact-check product information.
