Energize!

I attended the AACIS (American Association of Collegiate Independent Study) conference in Ogden, Utah Nov 1-3,2007.

I presented on how to include audio in an online course (Can You Hear Your Instructor Now?). I also attended a great session on Copyright and Fair Use and another on Labs for Science Courses Online.
The keynote speaker for this year was Dr. C. Daniel Litchford Jr. I am a sucker for motivational speaking done well and Dr. Dan was one of the best.
The same info I have heard over and over but yet was presented in a fun, inspiring way.
The essence: To be Enthusiastic and Exel one must take time to ENERGIZE! This can be accomplished by visiting the Self Awarness Chamber (bathroom), and smilling into a mirror for 15 sec after saying "Energize!) This method wards off the negative "e" words (enervate, excuse, and expire)

Why Learning and Burning Online?
The online Urban Dictionary defines Learning and Burning as:
"Learning course material for long enough to pass the exam, and then forgetting it all."
This seems to be what is happening to me in life. I want to remember period.
I learn so much everyday in my work, out on the web, from my kids... but am challenged to remember it all.
I am hopeful that this is a place that I will be able to keep a record of things I want to recall, like a real journal should...
Or
Because I wanted to call it Learning Online but that was not cool enough.
