P1. Copilot basics

Outcome: you can use Microsoft Copilot for study and admin work, check what it tells you, and explain what Microsoft 365 Copilot can see.

Skills: prompts with a goal, context, source and expectations; checking the sources Copilot cites; the difference between web-grounded Copilot Chat and Microsoft 365 Copilot, which works through Microsoft Graph and your permissions; what agents are; what never goes into a prompt.

Courses: Work smarter with AI, AI Fluency, Empower your workforce with Microsoft Copilot.

Labs

1. Same question, two assistants: ask Copilot and Claude (from C1) how to create a DHCP scope with PowerShell. Check both answers against Microsoft's docs and note the differences.
2. Check the sources: ask a question where Copilot cites web pages. Open each source and mark whether it says what Copilot claims.
3. Better prompts: take a vague prompt, rewrite it with a goal, context, source and expectations, and compare the answers.
4. What it can see: read how Microsoft 365 Copilot uses Microsoft Graph and each user's permissions. Write a short note on why a file shared with "everyone" becomes something Copilot can show anyone. P2 builds on this.
5. Team rules: write a one-page "Copilot rules" sheet for a small IT team: what never goes in a prompt, how to check answers, and when to say Copilot helped.

Prove it: the comparison log from labs 1 and 2 (claim, source, verdict), the before and after prompts from lab 3, and your team rules sheet. A partner reviews them.

Certs: none. P1 is the groundwork for AB-900 in P2.
