Dive Into Deep Learning: Tools for Engagement

A useless book. Money thrown away. Maybe I'll use it to light the fireplace this winter.

This is a comprehensive guide on how to implement Deep Learning in the classroom, the school, and the district. A clear Deep Learning framework is provided with specific designs for teacher learning sessions. There are chapters on learning design, collaborative inquiry, learning progressions, assessment practices, capacity building, and more. The inviting and colorful design of the book makes it easy to read and navigate. This is the essential tool for those wanting to implement Deep Learning at any level within an educational system.

This book offers an educational plan to provide an improved education environment. This is a follow-up to a previous book that laid out the framework for the deep learning concept (circa 2015). Although the original underlying ideas and research dated back almost 15 years ago. So, the books came in the marketing stage of exposition and provides some practical tools that teachers and educators can use. So, if I haven't said so already (and I haven't) the target audience for this book are teachers and principals. Of course, a parent could pick the book up and try and develop a home environment to compliment the tools in the book, but that would be very complimentary. Home school is an entirely different question, but based on the book, some items may apply and others depend on group activities. How children learn from other children is a hot topic debated between home schoolers and almost everyone else.This is a decent book, but already there are other standards instituted by the states and US government that are different (but have some very high similarities). But it is different and it was what the schools are generally using. So, really there is a big part of the book that is trying to grow this idea in the educational community.

and great book! This BOOK is a deep dive into the tools you need to create deep-learning environments!

I didn’t know what to expect when I ordered this, this is a follow up book to Deep Learning: Engage the World Change the World published in 2018 which introduces the concept. This is a thorough guide to changing the method of instruction from what schooling has been known as. Being a public school teacher in the classroom, this is not something that I can just implement myself, this is a philosophical shift and this is something that has to be supported by the entire public school amd administration and district as it entails different lesson planning, materials, different assessments, grading policies and use of different rubrics. This is a large book and at 280 pages it provides a lot of information, charts, pages to be filled by the reader. This is intended to be a roadmap to shift the method of instruction from the old to this new vision. It is complex. I applaud the intention. Rating 4 stars = Like It.
