Feedback Loop

👩‍🏫 How to Explain by Age Group

• Elementary (K–5)

  • “A feedback loop is like learning from your mistakes. If you spill your juice and then try again more carefully, that’s a loop! Computers can learn this way too, trying, seeing what works, and doing better next time.”

• Middle School (6–8)

  • “AI uses feedback loops to improve itself. Just like when students get a quiz back and study the wrong answers to do better next time, AI learns from how people respond to its answers.”

• High School (9–12)

  • "A feedback loop occurs when an AI system adjusts its behavior based on past outputs and user responses. This can reinforce accuracy, or amplify errors, depending on the quality of feedback. It’s central to machine learning systems that evolve over time.”

🚀 Classroom Expeditions

Mini-journeys into AI thinking.

• Elementary (K–5)

  • Play a simple game where students guess an answer and get hints to try again. Discuss how their answers got better over time.

• Middle School (6–8)

  • Have students create a loop where they ask classmates for feedback on a project and make improvements. Relate this to how Vervotex Education uses student interactions to refine and personalize support.

• High School (9–12)

  • Let students analyze an app or AI tool they use that seems to “learn” from them. Discuss how feedback loops work, and how tools rely on smart feedback systems.

We believe learning happens through thoughtful feedback, so if you’ve got ideas, questions, or even a nit to pick, I’d genuinely love to hear it.

• What helped you here?

• What could be clearer?

• Or just say hi, I actually read every message.

Thanks for being part of the loop,
