Engaged

Engaged is the key word now in the education sector. Its not merely facilitating or even teaching, its engaging the pupils. Its not easy, that is for sure. To engaged a set of 10 minds would be a daunting task and to engaged 40 would be a tremendous task indeed.�

Primarily, it is to set the pupils mind and body to the activity on hand. It is of my opinion that once engagement is done and sustained, only then can meaningful�teaching and learning takes place.

Adam has been staying at home for the past three days and to get him, just him, engaged is really an uphill task. Its like trying to fill a pail with a hole at the bottom with water. If you are not fast enough, it'll emptied itself. Then the pail will not lose its function and purpose. Looking at things, I'm very glad that the hole in Adam is small, yet is present.

We have made a parachute, and from that parachute, he made a kite. We made a pizza and from that pizza, he made me do it. He practised on the piano and during his warm up, he came up with the tune of twinkle-twinkle stars. Now he is doing his homework which I picked up from the teacher about 3 hours ago.

We set up a blog and he told me to take a picture and he inserted it into his blog. Set up an email account to email his mom and after he emailed his mom, he emailed his cousin.

What is the point I'm trying to say? The point is simply, once you can get engagement, development come along with it, and fortunately for me, Adam is easy.
