Smart, Safe, and Supportive: Using Microsoft Copilot for Family Learning and Online Media Awareness
Location: TBA
This engaging, hands-on session helps parents, caregivers, and household members use Microsoft Copilot to support school-aged children with homework routines, reading practice, project planning, study guides, and family communication. Participants will learn prompt-writing basics by clearly sharing the task, grade level, interests, desired format, and success criteria to generate useful, age-appropriate support. The session also builds media literacy by helping families recognize signs of misinformation, altered images and videos, scams, and realistic-looking deep fakes—and use Copilot to ask thoughtful follow-up questions and compare information with credible sources. Participants will leave with practical family prompts, strategies for protecting private information and maintaining a healthy digital footprint, and clear guidance for using AI to strengthen learning rather than complete a student’s work.
