How to Write a Prompt for Copilot

  • Define clear objectives.โ€ฏDetermine the main goal of the prompt and the role AI should take. Whether creating a syllabus, drafting a quiz, or revising lesson content, have a clear vision of the end goal.

  • Be specific.โ€ฏChat experiences operate best when given detailed instructions. Specify grade level, subject, topic, or any other relevant parameters. For instance, "secondary math quiz on algebraic expressions" is clearer than "math quiz."

  • Structure the prompt.โ€ฏBreak complex tasks into smaller parts. Instead of asking the AI to draft an entire lesson, request an outline, then delve into specific sections.

  • Iterate and refine.โ€ฏThe first response from AI might not always align perfectly with expectations. Don't hesitate to rephrase the prompt, ask follow-up questions, or provide more context based on the initial output.

  • Combine expertise.โ€ฏUse AI as a tool to enhance and streamline work but remember to overlay its suggestions with your educational expertise. AI can suggest content, but the educator decides the best way to edit and present it to their audience.

Points to note

Make sure that Bing is summarising the page, not searching the web. You can do this by stating in your prompt that you want it so summrise "this page" of "this PDF". Note that when you ask follow-up questions, you also need to be clear otherwise it may search the web.

You can also select text and ask Bing to clarify what the selection is discussing.
