Cela fait plus d’une semaine que je n’ai pas eu le temps de survoler mon agrégateur, hormis ma blogosphère éducative francophone. Je n’avais donc pas pris connaissance du billet de Pollard, un blogueur que j’estime beaucoup.

Je constate que Sylvain et moi partageons les mêmes préoccupations. La conversation, chez Florence, est par ailleurs très intéressante.

En lisant le billet de Dave Pollard, aujourd’hui, — voir l’extrait ci-après — j’ai pensé à toi, François, et au formidable travail d’information et de sensibilisation que tu fais avec une persistance exemplaire sur le Web pédagogique. Merci de nous inspirer quotidiennement.

« The only sustainable value you bring to any social group of which you are a member is what you show and teach and inspire in others in that group. That’s the value you bring when you write your heart out on your blog. That’s the value you bring when you raise your children, when you spend time in the communities that matter to you, when you stay up all night talking with someone about the things you both care about.

« You may never be credited as the originator of a virus. It is enough to know that it lives, on and on, in the minds and hearts and beliefs and actions of thousands or millions of people who have passed it on, mutating and evolving, until it does produce a collective change. It is the only way real change occurs. That is what culture is, and why it is so hard to change it. We all change it, in ways we can only imagine. Your idea could be the flap of the butterfly’s wing that causes a social tsunami on the other side of the world.

« That should be enough. Enough to keep you working, blogging, creating, thinking, sharing, conversing, doing what you can to make the world a better place. »
