bs2@angsuman #AlfieKohn may have written a whole book on Homework, it's ineffective, useless, a waste of time... something along those lines...
I'm trying to see if #Anki and #AnkiWeb can work as a help, rival, or replacement for #DuoLingo . There's something about the "Good Job!" animations that makes me think of #AlfieKohn and how rewards are bad for learning. Thinking of privacy issues and advertising revenue also disturb the learning. I get distracted with thought of #EdwardTufte in #BeautifulEvidence talking about how "The #EthicalValues of #Teachers differ from those involved in #marketing ." p 161
