What is deep learning?

This is a narration of the blog post entitled What is deep learning? We discuss working definitions of learning, deep learning, and shallow learning. We explore the idea that deep learning involves two separate tasks: understanding and remembering. We also explore 5 useful strategies for improving your ability to remember ideas as you learn deeply. We also present 4 less-than-optimal strategies that lead to diminished capacity to recall ideas and result in shallower learning. We end this post with some challenges to our Learning Code community to build your own knowledge from this discussion. Remember: you can learn anything. When you work hard using effective learning strategies, when you have the courage to make mistakes, reflect on your errors, and make corrections, your brain grows and you build new skills. Si se puede (Yes you can!).
