Now we're going to do what's called deep learning.

We're going to have a discussion about it.

How does that link with what we learned yesterday?

How does that tie it over here?

How can we apply this?

The reason why school is slow is because it's developmentally appropriate and we're pushing deeper rather than just pure breadth.

So as these schools say, we can just run kids right through this material.

cool, that's surface learning.

Exactly as you said, maybe these tools, Justin Reich out of MIT said it great.

He says, maybe these AI tools will be good for learning to read, but they're never going to be really good for reading to learn.

Once you actually want to do something with the skill go deep, it's basically stuck on just surface data.

Here's the next pattern, off you go.

And so I think that's a really interesting, if you think about the history of ed tech, where it came from, how it moved,

It was basically sold to us as, this is going to stop drill and kill.

Tech is going to free up creativity.

It's going to let your kids flourish and be huge human beings.

They're not going to have to sit there and just rote memorize anymore, yay.

Well, cut to today.

When's the only time digital technology appears to work for learning?

When you use it to rote drill and kill, when you lock things down.
