I haven't tried this but you might be able to leverage workflows or javascript to check the attachment and see if there is a valid file extension like .jpg, .doc, ........ and if not, generate an alert or send an e-mail notification follow-up to the individual who created the note.

I suggested workflows as a method for notification to the end user because you said you want to educate. I thought you might be able to create a workflow to send the person who creates the note some sort of email notification. I briefly looked at the workflow for a note and you can check to see if there is an attachment (is document) and if no attachment, cancel the workflow. If there is an attachment then add some steps to see if the file extension is a valid type or not an invalid type. Based on the result of that or those checks, take action like sending an email notification.
You're other option is going to be to develop a plug in of some sort. It could be a simple 'alert' to the user when they create a note and add an attachement without a valid extension and then disallows the attachment until they fix the extension.

If it is only one person then that makes the recommendation so much easier. The workflow should work fine for you. Just send the user a notification when he or she creates a note with an attachment that does not have a file extension of jpg or gif.
