Learning lessons in learning

To learn, things have to be fun. For instance, my grandson has more fun and learns a lot more when I take him skiing on a bumpy, groovy kid slope than on an otherwise uniform and boring trail.

Whenever we teach anything and whatever the subject, we should always make sure that the process is fun, engaging and always enticing the participant to ask for much more. This should be the essential requirement of any learning program or process.

So question must always be: “Where's the fun?” If it's nowhere to be found, go back to the drawing board and re-engineer the whole process. The payback is guaranteed to be commensurate with the creative effort put in towards achieving the dual goal of learning and having a memorable time!
