Deep Learning: Engage the World Change the World

I got very inquisitive to find out about Deep learning and the book by Prof Fullan and colleagues is an excellent piece of work going Deep intimate the various aspects of DL. The book is data supported and reports input and insights from 7 different countries of the world. A must read for the educational leaders all over the world.

This book give insights to the must haves of the 21st Century work force while providing the know-hows of achieving them in school.

I loved this book. I believe this is an incredibly exciting development for learning futures

Student and teacher as learning partner

As a longtime teacher and student of learning theory, I care deeply about the problems that plague our educational systems. I believe that learning should be deep. I was hoping to find in this book a resource that provided practical advice for making this so, but it didn't fulfill my expectations. The authors identify six core compentencies that must be fostered to deepen learning, all of which are great. The book, however, iss strong on theory but vague on implementation. The language of the authors at times borders on gobbledygook rather than the clear expression that I would expect from advocates of deep learning. They also invest a level of faith in digital technologies that is unwarranted. I am in a digital technologies professional with 35 years of experience. As such, I understand the limitations and potential drawbacks of digital technologies. Useful and good digital technologies can assist in the learning process, but only if they are applied within the context of competent teaching and an environment that supports deep learning.
