AI: Strategies for Instructors

Are you noticing changes in student engagement, wondering how AI is showing up in student work, or questioning whether your activities still align with course outcomes? In this practical session, a team of Minnesota State educators shares four concrete ways to use Microsoft Copilot to address these challenges while saving time and preserving academic rigor.
Focusing on curiosity, productive struggle, alignment, and personalized student check‑ins, the session moves beyond “Should we use AI?” to *“How can we teach effectively with it today?” Participants will see classroom‑ready examples, ethical AI use strategies, and sample prompts they can apply immediately to support student learning and streamline instructional work.
