Going to the 2023 Trendy conference I honestly wasn't expecting much. Frankly speaking, my expectations were spot on, bar a couple notable presentations.
The first was Kate Redkina with her talk about our perception of students. That we tend to pay more attention to the "good" students, give them more feedback, praise them more. Looking back I can say that I was guilty of that as well, but for a short while and not anymore. I am fortunate to work in an environment that makes it obvious that a "bad" English student can be amazing at a plethora of other subjects. And I've always been an advocate of underdogs having been one myself all of my school career, though it was not academically but rather communication-wise.
The second was by Elena Sarnavskaya who gave precise and very specific instructions on how to use Chat GPT. Very useful for some teachers, but given the size and detail of the prompt you need to write, it seems easier to me to write the text yourself.

Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts. Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. Update March 8, 2022: EFF has clarified that Channels and Groups are not fully encrypted, end-to-end, updated our post to link to Telegram’s FAQ for Cloud and Secret chats, updated to clarify that auto-delete is available for group and channel admins, and added some additional links. Perpetrators of such fraud use various marketing techniques to attract subscribers on their social media channels. Telegram does offer end-to-end encrypted communications through Secret Chats, but this is not the default setting. Standard conversations use the MTProto method, enabling server-client encryption but with them stored on the server for ease-of-access. This makes using Telegram across multiple devices simple, but also means that the regular Telegram chats you’re having with folks are not as secure as you may believe.
