AI Tip: Copilot and RAFTS

Posted by Giovanna Chamberlain on Dec 22, 2025 7:29:59 AM

Copilot and RAFTS

Video Tutorial for Copilot and RAFTS


What is Copilot?

An AI-powered assistant developed by Microsoft that helps with tasks across various applications by using large language models to generate text, images, code, and assist with work tasks. 

Where can I find Copilot?

When you open your email, you will see a colorful icon under your calendar; this is Copilot. Click the icon to access the Copilot landing page. 

What can I do with Coplot?

Create a lesson plan, paste in text to differentiate reading levels, create a multiple-choice, true or false, fill-in-the-blank quiz or study guide, find just right wording for a challenging email, create a field trip form, a parent reminder, and more!

How can I make the most out of my prompt? 

Follow the RAFTS Prompt Builder. The stronger the prompt, the better the response. 

Before using AI, remember…

  • What sites can I use?
