Steemit in Education
This is a great introductory video by @elipowell on the new developments in #steamit. I was really floored by the case of the Ugandan Teacher who was able to earn @TRX from the contest so that she could purchase shoes for her class of kids.
(14:15 - 14:30). I think it is very critical to see where this type of technology can go in terms of helping schools and students.
I see a lot of ways in which platforms like #steemit and tokens like TRON can be used to create more equity in education. Even here in the USA where poor schools are quite often underfunded, the use of tools and platforms like #steemit can improve resources for such schools. Off the top of my head, here are some use cases:
- Teachers can share lesson plans and activities
- Teachers can share hyperdocs and presentations on subjects
- Teachers can create learning contests for other teachers (and older students)
- Teachers can share quizzes and projects for other teachers
The resultant funds can be used to purchase items for the classroom as well as supplies for students.
