Start of a search for the best deliberate practice educational software

I am starting this blog because of what seems to be a lack of information on educational software that uses deliberate practice methodologies. While it is not a panacea, deliberate practice, particularly the focus on pushing oneself just out of your comfort range, seems to be one of the most effective methods for acquiring and improving skills. Software with its ability to track detailed metrics and potentially infinite patience seems like a very good modality for teaching, and allowing deliberate practice. However there seem to be few, if any sites that keep track of various educational programs and apps that employ deliberate practice principles. So this blog will undertake to keep track of software in this space, and provide reviews and more information when available.

Cheers
