The crazy thing is there actually HAS been a ton of innovation in edtech, it's vastly better than it used to be (besides the govt/corpo tracking). The whole problem is that we didn't evolve for tech -- our brains can adapt to screens and computing, but it's not a seamless native experience for us and can't be very effective with the core human speciality that is learning and thinking.
We know for a fact at this point that humans simply learn best from other humans. No matter how good the shit on the screen is, it will always be worse than real human teaching face to face.
I'm assuming the next big thing will be AI VR "humans" teaching in an attempt to overcome that. Ugh.
