"openai.com" was once the personal homepage of a guy named glenn (2001), and "tiktok.com" was the quaint shared homepage of a couple as their relationship progressed from dating to married with a baby (2000). THREAD!!!

Une autre citation de Václav Havel pour toi : « Il ne suffit pas de regarder les marches. Il faut les gravir. » Václav Havel: “It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs.” Merci @doichant.bsky.social #clair2026

@doichant.bsky.social nous montre que, même si nous avons encore du mal avec l’idée d’enfants qui ne “vont pas à l’école”, nous reconnaissons tous que l’apprentissage “par le monde” est, au fond, un rêve largement partagé. #clair2026

Où commencent vraiment les comportements problématiques avec la technologie ? Peut-être chez les parents. Il suffit de se promener dans n’importe quel centre commercial pour voir des familles entières, le nez plongé dans leur téléphone. #clair2026

Je me suis fait la réflexion hier que l’un des principaux “freins” à notre dialogue autour des technologies vient de la peur de ne jamais vraiment les comprendre. Raison de plus, alors, pour partager comment nous faisons ce que nous faisons — en particulier avec l’IA… 1/2 #clair2026

Bien souvent, on s’attaque aux symptômes plutôt qu’au vrai problème. Des élèves absents ? L’école peut trouver d’autres façons de les engager. Des enseignants sous pression ? Si vous voulez ajouter quelque chose de nouveau, commencez par enlever quelque chose de leur charge. #clair2026

Fonts are in the news, so I'm going to take the opportunity to port over an old thread: what was typography like in the Soviet Union? Spoiler: they did not just have 1 font everyone had to use. As a matter of fact, there were 39. One of them, you can see here, used to great effect for "Chernobyl."

Why do a leadership development programme if it doesn't make a difference to students, now? LftM has helped over 700 leaders deliver projects more effectively, rather than putting them off "until the time is right". The right time is right now. Join us this February.
