Room 2a

Curious about how to harness the power of Microsoft Copilot to streamline your planning? In this practical session, we’ll explore how Copilot can support your backwards design process—from outcomes to assessment to learning experiences. You’ll get a clear idea of division approved ai tools, when it makes sense to use them, and how to guide Copilot with both conversational and structured prompts. Whether you’re mapping out a unit or brainstorming lesson ideas, you’ll leave with time-saving strategies and real examples that keep pedagogy front and center (and AI in the sidecar). Come ready to learn, laugh, and maybe let Copilot do a bit of the heavy lifting!
