Is written feedback a waste of time? New study finds 1 in 5 students completely ignore feedback, while nearly half of those who did try to act on the feedback, don't improve at all. 🧵⬇️

Just tested this with a "describe me based on our chats" prompt. Alexa and I share a pro account, so the results were fascinating 😂

Received a DPA this week that required us to negotiate the ability to use voice-to-text in our app? We, of course, want to protect student data. But...we have to get lawyers involved to provide a basic differentiation option for students? What are we accomplishing here?

A hypothesis on the accelerating decline of reading: * Broadly speaking, people read for pleasure/entertainment and for learning/obtaining information. * Reading for pleasure has been declining for a while and is being replaced by videos (very sharply among young people).
