Gemini Notebook: cited terms, then the glossary

Gemini Notebook extracts terms with citations to the lesson. A bilingual teacher checks every translation before use.

  1. You

    Get ready

  2. Gemini Notebook

    Extract cited terms

  3. You

    Correct the table

  4. Gemini Notebook

    Draft glossary, prompts

  5. You

    Check and finish

  1. Have ready: lesson, language pair, terminology

    Use: You

    The electrical-circuit lesson, the English/Cantonese language pair note and the approved terminology list.

    Check

    Check the intended meanings and regional terminology before drafting.

  2. Extract cited terms with intended meanings

    Use: Gemini Notebook

    Upload the lesson and terminology as sources. Ask for technical and instructional terms with a lesson-line citation and a proposed meaning.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Task: Concept-linked term table with uncertainties, each term cited to a lesson line. Extract the technical and instructional terms whose misunderstanding would block comprehension of this lesson. For each term, cite the lesson line, propose the intended concept, and note any translation ambiguity for the English/Cantonese pair. Mark anything uncertain instead of guessing.

  3. Correct the term table

    Use: You

    Open each citation. Approve or fix intended meanings, settle regional terminology and keep uncertain equivalences flagged.

    Check

    Check each citation really motivates its term.

  4. Draft the glossary and aligned prompts

    Use: Gemini Notebook

    Ask for the parallel English/Cantonese glossary and aligned support prompts, keeping every flagged uncertainty visible.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Task: A parallel-language glossary and aligned prompts with translation uncertainties. Using this approved term table, draft a two-column English/Cantonese glossary and aligned support prompts for the lesson. Keep every flagged uncertainty visible and do not smooth over uncertain equivalences.

  5. Check both languages and finish

    Use: You

    Verify every command and technical equivalence in both languages, then run the completion check.

    Check

    Check terms map to intended concepts, a proficient teacher has checked translations and uncertain equivalences stay flagged. Preparation only; do not submit learner work, publish material, alter official grades or make placement decisions automatically. Retrieval "retrieves the most relevant information based on your question first", so coverage of every comprehension-critical term needs the human correction pass.

Before you paste into any AI tool, remove any confidential information. Put it back at the end.

Final check

The bilingual teacher approves intended meanings and regional terminology.

The bilingual teacher verifies every command and technical equivalence in both languages.

Uncertain equivalences remain flagged rather than resolved silently.

Preparation only. The named human reviews the result; do not submit learner work, publish material, alter official grades or make placement decisions automatically.

Check the result against your original inputs. Approve it before sharing or acting.

What still needs checking
  • Cantonese-specific terminology generation accuracy is unconfirmed on every cited page; every option assigns final translation verification to the proficient bilingual teacher.
  • No legacy proposal existed for this record; all three paths are newly authored.
  • Removed orphan rename-justification entries e-gn-identity-blog and e-gn-identity-faq: the cited help pages are now Gemini Notebook-branded and those entries justified no capability claim.
