From shortcut to scaffold: AI that strengthens student thinking

In this hands‑on workshop, educators experience how to shift AI from an “answer bot” to a learning scaffold using Microsoft 365 Copilot alongside the Teach and Study and Learn modules. Practice quick protocols that promote productive struggle, retrieval practice, and transfer, then redesign common prompts into tutor‑style sequences that check understanding, guide feedback, and require thinking. Leave with ready‑to‑use prompt patterns, classroom norms for responsible AI use, and a simple planning template you can apply immediately.
