Quantum Learning Network
The Quantum Learning Network (QLN) is an education and training organization based in Oceanside, California. Prior to 2005, the organization was known as the Learning Forum.
The QLN's flagship program is SuperCamp, a summer camp program developed initially by Bobbi DePorter, Eric Jensen and Greg Simmons in 1982, designed to introduce teenagers to accelerated learning academic skills and valuable life skills. The SuperCamp program is now held annually at several locations across the United States and around the world. Since 1982, more than 40,000 students worldwide have attended SuperCamp.
The QLN also regularly runs Quantum Learning for Students, Quantum Learning for Teachers, Quantum Learning for Administrators and Quantum Learning for Business programs for schools, school districts and corporations. QLN's programs have been held across the world in countries including Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, the Dominican Republic, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Russia, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan and China. QLN also produces books, video and audiotapes, CDs and computer products about academic and life skills which are available around the world.
The QLN's founder and President is Bobbi DePorter, an educator and businesswoman who in the 1970s studied with Dr. Georgi Lozanov, who developed accelerated learning, and applied his methods to business and education.
Over the years, the QLN has been profiled in several leading publications including the The Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times and USA Today. Stories about QLN have also appeared on over 100 television and radio programs in the US and other countries. QLN's SuperCamp was honored in the "Touch America: Showcase of Model Learning Programs" held in Washington, D.C.

Quantum Learning
Quantum Learning is a secret, guide, strategies and all the learning that can enhance the power remember, and a learning as a fun and meaning process. Quantum Learning stems from the efforts of Georgi Lozanov, educators from Bulgaria. He did the research called suggestology. The principle is that suggestion can certainly affect the results of studying situation.
Quantum Learning covers the important aspects about how the brain manage information. According to DePorter et al (2002:16), "Quantum Learning is the interactions that change the energy into light." Quoted from Albert Einstein, that is, E = mc2, DePorter compare the strength of energy in analogy to the human body that physically is material. So the purpose of learning according to the Quantum Learning is to reach more possible the light.
Based on these descriptions, as created a model of learning that encourages linguistic ingenuity, visual, kinestetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and intuition.
According DePorter (2002:54) in Quantum Learning has 5 specific characteristics that are useful for improving the brain to understand the provided information. They are:
* Learning To Know
* Learning To Do
* Learning To Be
* Learning To Live Together
Teachers are required to have a varietive and creative method of studying, because the ways thinking of children more logic, critical and high curious thinking,.
In the Quantum Learning that is written by Bobbi DePorter and Mike Hernacki has three main method of Quantum Learning
* Mind Mapping
* Speed Reading
* Super Memory System which

The Quantum Learning Tenets
The Tenets are important concepts or guiding principles that are basic to the Quantum Learning system. These ideas are woven throughout the fabric of the system, and as a result will be rediscovered in many applications and strategies. The Tenets are specifically designed to improve our practice in the classroom by directing our focus. We recommend that you post them in a place where you will see them on a regular basis.
The first Tenet is "Everything Speaks." This concept reminds us that everything we do in the classroom sends a message to students. The way we greet students first thing in the morning or at the beginning of a class sends a message. The way we handle an incorrect response from a student given in front of peers sends a message. Our Environment, the Atmosphere we create, the Design of our lesson delivery or educational tasks, how we dress, the way we listen, or the character traits we model all send messages to our students. By being constantly aware of this important principle we tend to be more deliberate and proactive in orchestrating the messages students receive. This helps us better manage the variables that contribute to an optimal classroom atmosphere and learning environment.
