I saw this quote somewhere online today and really liked it.
Margaret Mead: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
This is a great quote for students and teachers, especially when the question "what can I do, I'm just one person" comes up.
Educators and students can do a lot to change the world. As educators, we should be encouraging our students to change the world using their talents. We should develop their talents and show them how a small group, or even individual, can make changes. In today's world of social networks and the web, a small group is even more powerful.
