40. Copilot Create: Turn One Teaching Resource into Many

Adapt Resources One of the biggest pressures on teachers right now isn’t a lack of ideas – it’s time. Time to adapt resources, time to make them accessible, and time to present the same content in different ways for different learners. This is where Copilot Create quietly becomes one of the most useful tools in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Rather than being “another AI tool”, Create is best understood as a resource‑conversion space – a place where you can take what you already have and quickly turn it into something else that works better for your students....

As Microsoft continues to roll out Microsoft 365 Copilot in education (they will probably change the branding name again before I publish this!), many schools across the UK and Ireland now have full access to its powerful capabilities. Educators in Northern Ireland are actively pushing for the same, recognising the potential Microsoft 365 Copilot holds for transforming everyday tasks and teaching workflows....

It’s time to prepare and get organised so we can fully benefit from what Microsoft 365 Copilot in Education offers.

By D Currie | edtech4everyone.org 👣 My UDL Journey So Far I’m not an expert in Universal Design for Learning (UDL)—far from it. I’m still finding my way, experimenting, and learning what works. But that’s the beauty of UDL: it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress. UDL gives us a framework to reflect on our teaching, identify barriers, and design lessons that work better for more learners....
