A lot has happened in 5 years eh?
Currently, the world is facing a pandemic. Searching for the news (of 2020) should show you the joy and sadness of being human in 2020. And as we whine or enjoy the current circumstances, Mother Nature seems to be healing.
Now, am I on the joy and enjoy side of stuff, or the sad and whiny side of stuff?
Am only human, so both! The bigger thing to ponder is, am I purposeful?
The company I am working for now, which interestingly after 5 years is still FrogAsia, is on full-steam-ahead Learn-From-Home mode. Trying our best to provide online learning to save kids from missing school (and perhaps also save parents who are in need of something to occupy their children with).
This short sprint to offer support has led me to discover
1. how efficient a team/company can be when the focus and goal is clear.
2. how online learning could be widening the gap in education for the rich and the poor.
3. that schooling and educating could be two different methods, while learning is always the goal.
It does take a village to raise a child, and the village ranges from teachers, to parents, to business organisations, to NGOs, to random strangers, and to the learners themselves. Everyone can play a part. Question is, are you?
