How Educators Can Teach AI Literacy Using Copilot

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, teaching students how to understand, use, and critically evaluate artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t optional — it’s essential. By adopting the lens of AI literacy, educators can empower learners not just to use AI tools, but to engage with them responsibly, creatively, and ethically.

AI literacy refers to “the technical knowledge, durable skills, and future-ready attitudes required to thrive in a world influenced by AI.” It’s about developing both cognitive understanding and critical awareness. One powerful way for educators to teach AI literacy is by integrating Microsoft 365 Copilot (hereafter “Copilot”) into classroom practice. With Copilot’s capabilities — from generating prompts to supporting lesson planning — teachers have a hands-on opportunity to model, scaffold, and assess AI literacy in meaningful ways.

This blog outlines how educators can harness Copilot to teach AI literacy, offering frameworks, strategies, classroom applications, and ethical considerations.
