Designed specifically for classroom and school‑based contexts, this session focuses on how Microsoft Copilot can reduce teacher workload while strengthening instructional practice. Educators learn how to use Copilot for lesson and unit planning, creating differentiated instructional strategies, supporting IEP goals, developing interventions, and extending learning through enrichment opportunities. The session highlights assessment supports such as rubric generation, formative assessment creation, success criteria development, and feedback drafting. Participants also explore how Copilot can assist with data interpretation to inform instruction and support diverse learners. Educators are introduced to agents as a way to support consistent instructional planning, shared resources, and grade‑ or department‑level workflows, with discussion around how agents differ from Copilot Chat and how they can be responsibly shared within teams.
This session helps students learn how to use Microsoft Copilot responsibly to support learning, organization, and communication. Participants learn how to adjust custom settings to better support their individual needs and build more accessible, easier workflows for school tasks (e.g., clarifying instructions, generating study supports, organizing ideas, drafting and revising writing, and planning projects). Students explore Copilot Chat prompting skills and then use Create to generate images, infographics, PowerPoints, videos, and more while discussing quality checks, citation/attribution expectations where appropriate, and safe use in a school setting. The session also introduces the idea of agents, helping students explore how agents can support recurring learning workflows (for example, a study coach, writing revision partner, or project planner) and how to use these supports appropriately.
This session supports post-secondary learners in using Microsoft Copilot to work more efficiently across reading, research, writing, studying, and project management—while keeping academic integrity and course expectations at the center. Participants learn how to adjust custom settings and build reusable prompts based on their coursework, program outcomes, and current priorities (e.g., weekly readings, lab reports, practicum tasks, major assignments, or exam preparation). Students explore time-saving workflows such as breaking down complex instructions, organizing notes, generating study supports, creating outlines and drafts, refining clarity and voice, and turning dense content into accessible summaries—so they can spend more time thinking deeply and less time stuck in the busywork. Participants also use Create to generate interactive content for learning and communication (e.g., visuals, infographics, presentations, video concepts, and other multimodal artifacts) and practice quality checks to ensure outputs are accurate, appropriate, and aligned to assignment criteria. For teacher candidates and education programs, we highlight how to use Teach to build lessons, learning tasks, and assessments that support all learners—supporting differentiation and universal design while saving time in planning and resource creation. The session also introduces agent creation, helping participants explore how agents can support recurring academic workflows (e.g., a study coach, research organizer, practicum planner, or lesson-design partner) and how to use these supports responsibly within institutional and course guidelines.
