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.
