A decent starting point for teachers inside the Microsoft world, but it's more of a guided tour of Copilot features than a true course on using generative AI in education.

Who it's for
Educators new to AI who need a structured, Microsoft-centric tour of what's possible.
Who should skip it
Anyone looking for deep prompting skills or tools outside the Microsoft ecosystem.
Pros
Provides concrete examples: creating a syllabus, lesson plans, rubrics.
Focuses on practical classroom applications, not abstract tech.
Structured environment is good for complete beginners.
Cons
Heavily tied to Microsoft Copilot, limiting its broader applicability.
Feels more like a product demo than a skills workshop.
The 'prompting techniques' are very basic.
The syllabus-generator exercise was the main event. You feed Copilot a course description, it spits out a weekly schedule. Okay. Then you ask it to make a quiz. Also okay. We spent a lot of time on what felt like a feature walkthrough for a product I was already using. It's all very… polite.
My team was looking at this as a model for our own internal training, and the big takeaway was how to frame AI for a non-technical audience. It succeeds there. It shows the 'what'—what can this do for my daily tasks—without getting bogged down in the 'how.' But as a learner, I felt like I was just following a recipe. There was no moment where I had to figure something out. It's a safe, managed introduction, but don't expect it to teach you how to think with the tool.
