learning

Sometimes I wonder if even the best learning app / edtech product has a significant chance of improving learning outcomes.

The higher order bit is in how the student lives their life outside of the app.

It's so important to have hobbies like reading books, taking on challenging intellectual tasks outside of the curriculum, solving puzzles, reading the news critically, having good conversations and debates with people. These are all inputs that make most of the difference.
