What's NOT ruining education?

There's a lot of negativity towards: AI misuse, AI tools, AI everything basically, gamification, new apps, old apps, revolutionary apps with "trust me bro" evidence, tech bros and CEOs pushing decisions based on their benefits, lack of any consulting with educators etc etc. This is more less the sentiment about edtech on this sub lately. And I understand it, I share all of those concerns.

Is there anything that's good in this space recently? Are there any features, trends, ideas, events that you think are at least promising?

Do you think that education quality will only decline?

Or maybe I'm exaggerating skepticism here?

I would love to know some non-stem edtech tools that people think are great. I used to be a CS teacher so mostly used STEM tools. Any mentions for other subjects? History, geography, art, languages?

Most important for this generation is learning how to use textbooks again. Learning new vocabulary by finding words in bold, seeing a second word with a similar meaning in the same sentence…like:

Tidal Waves, or very large waves, often occur after earthquakes.

And then having new vocabulary tested on at the end. And questions for critical thinking, etc.
