Computers have been heralded as the magic answer to teaching kids for 40 years now. There have been no positive results yet. It's not hard to see why - putting computers in the classroom is like putting labor saving devices in the gym.

Learning requires focused effort and work, there's just no way around it.

I think it's because people are attempting to somehow "improve" the current educational methods using techno magic assuming that "if we do the stand-in-front-of-a-blackboard thing except with tablets" is going to lead to any sort of an improvement.
