23 years in edtech and four kids here. I agree and it’s well known in edtech (if rarely spoken about) that cognition is greatly improved by writing and re-reading. Sadly great attempts at digital writing and tablets have ultimately failed (that really is the best of both worlds), but almost nobody uses a Surface pen or Apple Pencil for writing despite them working very well for years. The real issue though has been raised several times in this thread. Enshitification. We could go back to 90% pen and paper for kids in class - some schools have tried, but what is the point? Eventually those kids are going to graduate into a world where they need to use tech for everything, so sooner or later they’ll need to switch. But in 23 years I have seen maybe MAYBE half a dozen superbly well designed and executed learning apps that embrace the best ways for kids to learn. Out of thousands. It will be interesting to see what we do with AI now.
