Deep Learning

So THAT's what Tiffany's up to.  Trying to get us to develop deep learning of the material she's introducing to us. 

Just finishing reading some material about deep learning strategies for another class.  As I read I keep thinking, "so  THAT's why she's making us do this or that."  Yay! I'm building schema!  Don't know how deep my learning goes.

A example of deep learning activities I recall from class are:
  • Keeping a reflection journal in which we note our observations about class activities and strategies that Tiffany uses.
  • Those "pair and share" activities in which she has us engage.
  • The knowledge bases assignments
  • The reflections we do for each knowledge base, which can serve as a self-assessment of said knowledge base
  • The types of questions she asks during class (can't recall specifically right this moment, but they do attempt to get us to do more than exhibit declarative knowledge).
Cool.
