Microsoft's AI chat assistant for school accounts, with data protection for signed-in users. Lessons here use it only where the school has approved it, with students aged 13+.
Creative Amplify
Students write a practice 90-word answer about a past holiday, ask Copilot to flag up to five errors without correcting them, fix each one themselves and hand in the redraft with changes highlighted.
Interactive Amplify
Students answer Copilot's questions on Typhoon Haiyan one at a time, read its feedback on each answer, and check that feedback against the textbook case study before correcting their notes.
Students ask Copilot Chat to translate twelve French sentences built around idioms and false friends, test every translation against a bilingual dictionary and their own version, and question Copilot on the choices that disagree.
Interactive Transform
Students each ask Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat for five short character sketches of someone in an assigned job, log the names and pronouns in a class sheet, and compare the pooled results with published UK workforce figures.
Students write test cases from a password rule, ask Copilot Chat for a password checker from a one-line brief, run its code against their tests in Replit and find out which rules it assumed.
Pairs put scripted sun-safety questions to Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, reword each one three ways, and check every answer against NHS guidance.
Passive Replace
Students read a one-page introduction to Käthe Kollwitz that the teacher drafted with Copilot and checked line by line, then look at two of her War woodcuts with that background in mind.
Passive Transform
The teacher runs Copilot on the board, asking the same questions in fresh chats and following its cited links, while students record what changes and what holds, then connect it to how language models predict text.
