FIND, USE, SHARE, and EXPAND

It’s been awhile since Steve Johnson described the FUSE process but I’m noticing that some people haven’t heard the term… or thought as carefully about it as might be useful.

It seems to me that understanding FUSE is crucial to understanding the revolution that’s going on in online learning, especially for teachers who are turning into educational entrepreneurs:

“In the Web 2.0 model, we have thousands of services scrutinizing each new piece of information online, grabbing interesting bits, remixing them in new ways, and passing them along to other services.

Each new addition to the mix can be exploited in countless new ways, both by human bloggers and by the software programs that track changes in the overall state of the Web.

Information in this new model is analyzed, repackaged, digested, and passed on down to the next link in the chain. It flows.”

It’s true that human beings are innovating and creating new things faster and faster. Maybe faster than ever before in the history of the world.

It’s also true that there’s really nothing new under the Sun. All hum,an beings are ever doing is repackaging and repurposing things in new ways for new applications in new times and new places. And that’s all we’ve ever done.

Yes, we’re developing unique “intellectual properties.” And we’ve always been making our intellectual properties on the shoulders of others. N’est-ce-pas?

The read-write-web, or Web 2.0, is simply accelerating this process in ways that are truly mind-boggling!

What seems to me to be crucial for teachers - of all kinds - who are wanting to make the transition from wage slaves to education entrepreneurs online is that we master the art of FUSE:

FIND, USE, SHARE, and EXPAND

… while remaining mindful that our FUSING has REAL VALUE to others and we need to be rewarded for adding value as we feed the flow of information from one place to another, one person to another.

What do you think about this?

I’d really like to hear your perspective on FUSE.

How are you using FUSE to shape your online teaching and learning?

What kinds of rewards are you seeking for the value you’re adding to the lives of online learners?

As the US economy gets tighter and tighter, everywhere I turn, another friend is telling me they want to see some REAL CHANGE - meaning they want their life to feel better, easier, more rewarding and more meaningful.

But the trouble is, they’re experiencing some or all of these symptoms:

1. They have lots to be grateful for, yet can’t stop thinking about what’s not right in their lives…
2. They sabotage themselves by dwelling on stuff that happens and let it pull them down, down, down..
3. They know they are depressed, but can’t seem to find a lifeline to pull themselves back up…
4. They’ve heard about the Law of Attraction, but feel that maybe it works for some, but not for them…

Maybe there are days when you feel this way. I know I have them…

Do you wish there was a way to STOP all this negativity in its tracks and flip the switch on your bad attitude right in this very moment?

Well, hold onto your hats, because I’ve found a simple little thing that will do just that. No kidding!

It’s called AttitudeZapz! by Debbie Thomas and it is a collection of short, catchy little jingles made with affirmation statements as the lyrics. They get quickly stuck in your head, so you can be reciting your affirmations all day long.

Ever read through a list of affirmations that you passionately wrote at one time, but your subconscious “Belief Detective” has kept calling you, “Liar, liar, pants on fire?” so you finally gave up in disgust and stopped reciting them?

Well you can go here and find the antidote for that one!

Here’s the exciting part: when was the last time your subconscious “Belief Detective” argued with you about song lyrics?

These AttitudeZapz! are so short and catchy, they are a breeze to memorize, so the lyrics slip right past that monster and start seeping in into your subconscious in no time.

I’ve found - no kidding - that I’m singing them in my head when I wake up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. And then, once I’m up in the morning, and someone does something that might really have set me off, I notice the antidote lyric pops up right when I need it. I go sailing through, with my mind clear and bright and the situation turns around on a dime.

If you’ve ever struggled to find a way to change your attitude in the MOMENT, you’ve got to try this.

Go here to check it out for yourself.

You can download a totally no cost sample just to see how it works. And then, Debbie’s got the launch price so low, anyone can afford to get a NEW ATTITUDE**

As the saying goes: When you BELIEVE it, you will SEE it.

Once you’ve tried a few, please let me know what you think!
