        1. Probably obvious, but oh well. I've noticed something that's probably analogous to the benefit of writing notes. I see way more benefits and learning with students actually typing code rather than cutting and pasting.

        I think it's because the learners have to take their time and engage in the code and understand it rather than trying shortcuts all the time. Kind of like verbalizing while reading. It also seems to help with them catching mistakes faster.

      I've been noticing this while learning how Observable integrates with Shiny. The code examples are great, but to really understand how the pieces work together, I have to make an example from scratch.

    Which parts in the {ojs} blocks correspond to which parts in the {r} blocks. To me, that's one of the big stumbling blocks with learners and Shiny: seeing the flow of information in an interactive application.
