Ways educators are already using Stempad x Copilot

We've previously discussed how educators can use Stempad's general features, but we've provided some tips here for Copilot specifically. Here's how educators are putting Copilot to work:

Build lesson frameworks in minutes
Start with a general topic or rough idea, and Copilot can help expand it into a complete lesson outline with objectives, activities, and discussion prompts.

Simplify complex readings
Drop in a dense article or research paper, and Copilot can generate simplified summaries, pull out key points, generate questions for classroom discussion, and more.

Analyze table data
You can share tables with Copilot to get help analyzing data. This could be especially helpful if you're looking to analyze trends in student grades.
