Microsoft tool + one tip that made the biggest impact on your teaching

Hi everyone 👋

I’m Nahaa Alghamdi from Saudi Arabia, an English teacher and MIE Expert. Excited to join this incredible community!

Quick question:

What’s one Microsoft tool + one tip that made the biggest impact on your teaching this year (especially with Copilot / Teams / Forms)?

Here’s mine to get the conversation started:

This year, Microsoft Teams became my “home base” for English learning—resources, assignments, and quick check-ins all in one place. My favorite tip is using Microsoft Forms as a simple routine:

✅ Pre-Quiz to activate prior knowledge

✅ Exit Ticket to check understanding and collect evidence-based answers

And when it comes to Copilot, I’ve been using it to:

• Generate differentiated speaking prompts and sentence frames (basic vs. advanced)
• Create quick reading questions and vocabulary practice aligned to lesson goals
• Draft model answers and feedback phrases to support students’ writing

It’s helped me increase participation, save planning time, and improve the quality of students’ responses.

I’d love to learn from you—what’s your one tool + one tip? 🌍
