Dive Into Deep Learning: Tools for Engagement First Edition

This book is an excellent guide to deep learning. It explains the concept of deep learning which essentially shifts the focus of education from academic achievement alone to a more well rounded approach that encourages overall well being. Deep learning seeks to develop 6 global competencies referred to as the 6Cs: Character, Citizenship, Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical thinking. It is useful for all students and educators. I wouldn't say this is new thinking but rather a return to a wholistic approach to educating youth that was common prior to the institution of formal education.

This is one of the most profound and important books on how to make kids good at learning and good at life.This is the way for American teachers to stop boring their students.

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.

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.

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.

As an educational psychologist, I am always interested in resources that present fresh ideas for learning and engagement. And this book presents a nice exploration of this topic. While the book does not focus on a specific age group, it is focused on K-12 learners. I teach adult learners in higher education and I found many parts of the book relevant to my work. The authors take a very holistic, whole child approach to the learning process, and provide an excellent overview of what deep learning is with this viewpoint. The authors focus on competency-driven approaches with strategies for the students to engage with learning on a deeper level. It is a nice summary of the research that is out there, and is very evidence-driven and does a great job addressing the motivation of learners who engage in these strategies (it definitely helps). My only criticism is that the book doesn't address some of the potential negatives of deep learning strategies, namely student time management issues, which is what often happens with adult learners. Overall, this is a great resource.

Like another book, I was taken in by the fact that Deep Learning is an AI/machine learning concept (and Vine reviewers are often only given the title of the book when deciding whether to review it).However, as someone with teaching experience I was pretty interested in the actual subject as well.Although there are a lot of similarities between standard pedagogical practice and the author's Deep Learning approach, there's a lot of complexity to the differences, and it ultimately represents a paradigm shift in not just a single classroom but hopefully the entire school/district/educational system.I expect that the ideas will resonate with people who got into teaching because they themselves have had a lifelong love of learning -- that's what the Deep Learning concept is trying to foster in kids -- although it's a bit at odds with the educational field's push towards metrics and data.
