![]() I'll admit it. I've been on a Google kick lately, especially with the recent release of some new Google gadgets. Led some on-site Chromebook trainings.

![]() Many of us read blogs about learning and discuss the learning process with our colleagues, but few of us actually bother keeping up with the latest science. Maybe it’s because, if we do manage to identify a source or two, we are immediately turned off by all the dense scientific jargon. Or maybe it’s not always clear which resources provide information specifically on learning and not just education in general.

Ask yourself, what affinity did you engage in when you were 12 that you had an absolute passion for? That is the definition of engagement. What does engagement feel like? Lean forward in your chair, than lean back. Feel the difference?

If you click on it now, though, you’ll find out that it’s not there anymore.

People try to define everything by science. While I am not saying that everything can be defined by science, we must acknowledge that science has a large place in the world we know today.

We cannot define everything by science, but that doesn't mean we can't try. |
