Deep Learning looks like...


  • chaos
          Very rarely will you find the class working in any particular order.
  • students  working together
          Students never work alone.  They are discussing, scribbling ideas, trying different things.
  • students yelling (well, not really yelling, but disagreeing about an avenue)
          Some groups actually end up disagreeing and then agreeing and then disagreeing.
  • students walking around room talking to one another
          Often, the students are going from group to group to discuss with each other their ideas
  • I am no longer the center of attention or even in control.
          I circulate around the room, stirring the pot, offering counterexamples, but never telling what to           do.
  • many "aha" and "wow" moments
          Students get the smiles, when they might have it.  I love to hear the "wows" and "really"
  • authentic learning!
          Students not being talked at, or lead.  Students create the road.
