Deep Learning Supported
•Computer software is central in the learning sciences because the visual and processing power of today’s personal computers supports deep learning:
•Computers support reflection in a combination of visual and verbal modes
•Internet-based networks of learners can share and combine their developing understandings and benefit from the power of collaborative learning
• from Cambridge Handbook of Learning Sciences, p. 5
