In terms of phonics, believe one area where tech will end up doing better than humans, it's so systematic, easy to measure growth, good task for machines, when teachers try to individualize we fail, get weird groups like F+P (mis)guided reading

@sarahlouwou Brings me back to #OER (where my curricular policy work is heading) EngageNy created a @creativecommons curriculum for both math and language arts. Why did the math take off? Used in majority of districts, the ELA, vanished?
