alt Hacker News> you've got a really high bar to clear to prove that you're actually helping students learn better, and teachers teach better
Absolutely.
In fact the data from the past 10-15 years clearly shows the best education technology is still pen and paper, books, and good pedagogy.

Thank you for mentioning this. Tactile experience is completely different.
Manfred Spitzer and his book (2012) about digital dementia is full of proofs.

Yep... pen, paper, books and a good teacher are annoyingly hard to beat because they force the student to actually do the cognitive work
I have tried memorisation systems like Anki, but nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing consolidates my knowledge better than writing the actual concept down with pen and paper.
