C E Q * A LL

  • C E Q • A LL (pronounced “seek all”) is an acronym for Choice - Effort - Quality • Attitude - Labor of Love.  The 21st Century will become the era of personal learning.  Beginning with the Internet, then the WWW and now Web 2.0 (who knows what else next?!), technology has opened the world of information, communication, collaboration and publication to anyone with a computer and net connection.


    At issue is the fact that it’s not technology alone that makes personal learning happen.  People have been learning independently since the stone became a tool. Unfortunately, a large number of people have been “going through the motions” and have missed out on the joy of learning.


    C E Q • A LL uses a simple process to empower individuals to take charge of their own learning.  Based on research and common sense, someone honestly Choosing what to learn, investing Effort and pursuing Quality will inevitably develop a positive and enthusiastic Attitude that can lead to a life imbued with a Labor of Love.

New Study Explores the Online Behaviors of U.S. Teens and 'Tweens

  • “Our study showed that 96 percent of school districts say that at least some of their teachers assign homework requiring Internet use,” said Peter Grunwald of Grunwald Associates.  “What this means is that schools may be starting to use the Internet and other technologies more effectively.  In the future, schools that incorporate social networking tools in education can help engage kids and move them toward the center of the learning process.”

DEMO.com How will technology affect tomorrow's classroom?

  • Over a 4-hour conversation, Daniel took me through his “scenario planning” method. Scenario planning is, more or less, a fancy way of saying “imagine the future” but with an interesting twist. “We operate under the premise that what we expect to happen tomorrow dictates what is done today.” In other words, we create the future we expect. So Daniel’s research is all about figuring out what a lot of people think might happen.
  • But I am also hopeful, inspired mostly by the curiosity of young minds. When kids are engaged with discovery, magic happens. The institutions that structure public education tend to stifle that magic, but technology may be the savior in the “future of education” and it just may be the thing that lets kids drive their learning. In my scenario, kids will “teach” kids, or they will more effectively learn together. Classroom teachers become catalysts and mentors, rather than drill instructors tasked with promoting a roomful of kids to the next grade level. Technologies driving the social media revolution will enable this collaboration within a class, throughout a school and across the globe, uniting kids and igniting their curiosity to learn.

    Just as technology today is shifting power and authority from centralized media to millions of individual bloggers, for example, these same technologies and techniques will shift the locus of learning from a central curriculum committee out and into the hands of students.
