Great recommendations if you want to see quality learning content :)

Plutôt que de parler devant la machine à café de tout ce qui est loin de nous, des autres, avec ce ton vaguement blasé, nous devons TRAVAILLER QUOTIDIENNEMENT à devenir intimement meilleur. Mieux encore, il existe des attitudes positives qui nous permettent de construire des projets plus grands que nous-même. TOURNESOL me semble clairement faire partie de ces outils qui participent activement à me rendre meilleur. Mieux encore, TOURNESOL nous permet collectivement de participer activement à L'ARBITRAGE morale de nos activités humainement biaisées. La technologie, et les plateformes algorithmées, n'ont pas de conscience. C'est au travers de ce que, NOUS HUMAINS, nous en faisons que nous améliorons au pas notre existence. Bravo pour l'émergence de ce projet si inspirant. Je suis pauvre par choix mais sérieux par nature aussi, comptez sur moi pour diffuser dans ma petite sphère à taille humaine (4 supers enfants) cet outil collaboratif et regarder avec une assiduité studieuse vos contenus. Prenez soin de vous, prenez soin de nous ... nous en avons tant besoin.
