a. It guesses based off of previous users' actions

b. It asks the user

c. It guesses based off of the user's previous actions

4. I

5. How would you explain the algorithm and how it learns to someone who hasn't played the game?

6. Complete the sentence: If the user left lots of comments on 'Angry' content, the algorithm
would respond by...

7. What are some potential negative effects of using an algorithm like this?

(notes)

1. If misleading content gave a higher score, how would the algorithm respond?

2. If a user has a high 'Angry' score, what kind of content does the algorithm give them?

3. What could be a possible negative outcome of the above scenario?

4. How would you explain the algorithm and how it learns to someone who hasn't played the game?

5. What are some real-life examples of content recommendation algorithms?

• a simple question about the algorithm that everyone should get right

1. How does the algorithm learn what the user likes?

   1. it guesses based off of previous reactions

   2. it asks the user

   3. it guesses randomly

   4. it guesses based off of who the user follows

• a slightly harder one that some should get right

• a question about ethics or whatever

• explain the algorithm to someone

• real life examples

(notes for the post-survey:)

probably have some sort of printout for the kid to fill out

take down their name, grade, date/time, etc.

use true-false, multiple-select, fill-in-the-blank, complete-the-sentence, and open-ended questions

we can't really measure growth/learning, but we can measure a change in attitudes or something

we want to be able to categorize their experiences

try to see if how you taught things is good or not 

whether or not they 'grasped' the concept

we most probably want to frame it as a conversation because surveys are boring and lame

(notes continued:)

so because we're not really teaching any concrete technical skill, we can't really test them on their understanding at the end

instead, we want to gauge their attitudes and maybe how their attitudes have changed

with qualitative data, we analyze it by 'coding' or categorizing it into different categories

e.g. sort an answer into 'negative' or 'positive' by looking for certain words
