*Deep learning can be succinctly defined as:
Methods that develops the learning, creating and ‘doing’ dispositions that young people need to thrive now and in their futures. Deep learning is more natural to the human condition because it more clearly connects with our core motivations: to directly and deeply engage in learning; and to do things that truly make a difference to our lives and to the world.
