Edutainment is the fun road to learning. Most people don't realize when they've landed in this zone but what they do know is that some magic has happened and as a result they now know, think or do something as a result of this type of active engagement.

Prime examples of edutainment are found in children's shows like Sesame Street, Barney, etc... Adults also often learn this way but are not always acutely aware of what they've learned because they've had so much fun. A great debrief will get at the acquired knowledge.

Being a "edutainer" opens new pathways to learning particularly as the Aging of America dominates the landscape.
