Don't mind my little soap box, but one of my observations about ed tech in general has been that it is often either designed on sound pedagogical principles/solid content, but poorly executed on a technological level, or slick, usable, and stable technologically, but poorly constructed pedagogically, or with light/inaccurate content. While I've been starting to see better products over the last few years, for a long time ed tech was either designed by educators with sketchy technological expertise, or by tech experts with shallow pedagogical knowledge. So, pretty but useless, or content-rich but clunky.

And the pandemic and insufficiently prepared remote learning has pushed a lot of teachers/schools into becoming inexperienced and underresourced creators with either or both of these problems.
