    1. Did you find Hypothesis useful as a learning tool? *

      Similar to teaching survey, could do something like:

      • On a scale of 1 - 5, how useful was Hypothesis as a learning tool? // Not at all useful [ 1 2 3 4 5] Extremely useful
      • What made you choose this rating? [short answer]
      • Which of the following statements describes your experience with using Hypothesis as a learning tool? Check all that apply. [add options from "If yes above…." question
    1. (to Word, etc.)

      consider: (to CSV for generating learning analytics, to Word, etc) - I think "learning analytics as a buzzword will "hook" teachers and might give this option some momentum

    2. Ability to follow pagesAbility to follow users

      Will teachers know what this means? I might say:

      • Receive notifications when a page is annotated
      • Receive notifications when a user makes an annotation

      And this might make the "Expanded notifications" point redundant.

    3. Did you find Hypothesis useful as an education tool? *

      A simple yes / no might not give us useful info, and even if a teacher says no overall, there may be some statements in the next question that applied to their experience, so we don't want to discourage them from answering with "If yes above..."

      Consider a slightly different flow:

      • On a scale of 1 - 5, how useful was Hypothesis as an education tool? // Not at all useful [ 1 2 3 4 5] Extremely useful
      • What made you choose this rating? [short answer]
      • Which of the following statements describes your experience with using Hypothesis as an education tool? Check all that apply. [add options from "If yes above...." question

      test - Facebook is not a monopoly

    1. I'm always watching the news. I'm always looking at it on my phone. I hate when you talk about something that's going on in the community, people think, because you're famous, you doing it for clout. But you concerned about it because you are a citizen of America; you are a citizen of the world.
    2. Cardi B cares deeply about America's reception on the world stage. It mortifies her that the United States has become a nation where mass shootings are routine.

      Me too, Cardi.

    3. . She knows which president succeeded Roosevelt (his vice president, Truman) and which preceded him (Hoover). She gives a brief overview of the 22nd Amendment. She used to be able to list all the U.S. presidents in order of term but is too nervous to try it in front of me. As a compromise, she invites me to name any president.Buchanan."He was the 15th president," she says, and her tone is as neutral as if she were reciting types of weather. "Buchanan is the only president that was a bachelor."

      This reads as so condescending. Why are we surprised that she has this knowledge if she told you she loves political science? Because she's a current rapper and former stripper? Come on.

    1. “A real religion,” she argued, “has a lineage. Other masters are seen as part of that tradition, and they provide some checks and balances, and some humility. A cult, on the other hand, is a group run by a single charismatic leader who egoistically sets himself up as the single source of authority, as having a new revelation, as the only ‘enlightened one,’ and, therefore, as superseding all other sources of authority. Buddha didn’t set himself up that way. Moses and Jesus didn’t set themselves up that way.”

      a distinction that many struggle to put into words

    2. academically-trained intellectuals are “especially vulnerable to this because they have been trained to use their heads, but not their emotions

      and are thus more susceptible to emotional manipulation. wow.

    3. Rajneesh was comparing himself to Hitler toward the end, stating that Hitler had been similarly misunderstood when he sought to create a “new man” (something Rajneesh also claimed to be doing).

      I find myself returning to this quote often during the current news cycle.

      ...completely ignoring the millions of people who were systematically killed and robbed of their land in order to establish this place called "America"

    2. partial-birth abortion

      The medically correct term for this is "late-term abortion," and calling it "partial-birth abortion" is a means of fear-mongering used by anti-choicers to get people to support taking rights away from women.

    1. "I look at some of the things he's watching and I say, how is that possible?"

    1. On one side write this sentence: I can't ____ because of ___ . List every single thing you can't do and why you can't do it. On the other side of the page, write: I have to ___ because ___ . Fill in those blanks, too. Record every demand that is placed upon you and why you must do it. Don't censor your writing. Take some time with this. Run through a typical day and think about all the times you say "yes" and "no." Make no judgments. This is only an information-gath­ering exercise.

      an interesting exercise

    2. Star of Recovery: The Focused Shadow

      Love the idea of starting with a specific card that is worrisome/troubling

    3. Be certain your request is unselfish and justified. If it's not, you may find yourself being chased by her vengeance.

      when... is it not "justified" to ask for protection from sexual harassment, domestic violence, or rape? Actually, never mind. Don't call on the Crone for these things. Seek professional help.

    4. The Crone offers strength and comfort in the dark. She will not seek or call upon you; you must search for her and learn to trust the darkness. Her gifts are wisdom, transformation, clairvoyance, protec­tion, peaceful endings, and profound spiritual healing
    5. When you arrive at a point of unhappiness enough to want help, it is time to actively seek it.

    8. The collective shadow is made of negative traits held by races of people or countries as a whole, projected onto a minority group or nation.

      VERY uncomfortable with the idea of "traits held by races of people or countries as a whole." Does this come from Jung, or from Jette? Either way, some racism/bigotry is at work here,

    1. there should be some way for a blind screen reader user to know exactly which text is being discussed.
    2. there should be notification of the number of highlights of different types, a way to navigate to each highlight and to choose which type of (color) highlight to navigate between
    3. Keyboard access to any notes available at the highlight location is necessary

      Note: this should be independent of screen reader function. People who are sighted but have mobility difficulties need to be able to make and access highlights using their keyboard.

    4. a standard should be provided for categorizing highlights semantically.

      This is something we could work on and contribute back to the W3C community

    5. users of smaller screens

      not always considered in matters of accessibility, but important
