With the world embracig the advancements of blockchain technology; are you in favor of including blockchain technology as an educational subject into our schools? What are the benefits that you think will result if we do such action?

Of course, we are talking about a technological revolution comparable to the industrial revolution that will open many opportunities in the future. In fact, there are universities and schools where they are already teaching about this.

I think advanced technical universities teach this subject. As for the Humanities, I don't think it is necessary. It is a pity that my University is taught by an outdated program and outdated textbooks. Progress is very fast and not all countries and universities have time to change their view and attitude to the world. Many specialists receive education and cannot apply the knowledge that they have received, because it is no longer relevant. I am in favour of universities always updating their programs and teaching people knowledge that will really be useful in life.

If i'm the one who you are asking for me yes, it would be great to implement or to add the blockchain into the curriculum however you should consider not just 1 person but the community itself, because bitcoin is banned in some countries.

And I don't think that it should be in educational system because not all people are into technology meaning it should be a subject that's optional they can take it or not. Well the advantage of this is that you are able to learn all about blockchain and other technical stuffs properly.

Even though it is widespread now, there are only few organizations currently utilizing the blockchain for educational purposes. Although personally, I think it would be a great idea to start introducing the blockchain in the educational system like an elective subject.

The basic idea behind the technology block chain technology is decentralised, so it means we can implement any where in our daily life activity and it will help to implement in the education system is very good idea.

Well, here I would consider 2 branches of interaction.
1. This is a learning blockchain technology. I think that any technical experts are already paying some attention to this. In the future, there will probably be separate directions.
2. The introduction of this technology into the education system itself. This will speed up the processing of the results, or the data will be stored more safely, etc.

I am fully in support of adoption of blockchain technology as a subject in schools, its obvious that this technology is a new technology and its benefits cut across every sectors of the society at large, learning it schools will create more awareness and brings more people to utilize the potentials of this technology.

There are too much schoolchild that cannot study even rather simple principles of geometry and the laws of physics... and you wish to teach blockchain in school... This world is not ready for such changes, we need to study it in universities first, at least on technical faculties. But the main challenge today is teachers! Who will teach our children? Every experienced blockchain developer is working for $$$ $$$ salary or do his own ICO :)

Whatever is going to make the world a better place should be incorporated in the educational system. Knowing the capabilities of the blockchain technology, it should be introduced to the educational system

Definitely. The more people know about it, the better. I'd love to see it being taught in classes, the tech/finance behind it, so on.

Existing video-sharing platforms rely on advertising. This means they have to answer to third-parties and advertisers. They aren’t always working in the interest of the people who help bring people to their platforms — the Creators — or even the viewers.

Recently I have found this project while browsing and I was very impressed

Kauri: The Knowledge Network for the Ethereum Ecosystem

Briefly speaking this is a source of curated content educating about Ethereum blockchain. Read more here (https://media.consensys.net/kauri-the-knowledge-network-for-the-ethereum-ecosystem-bccc80c0f3ab)

This can indeed be implemented in every educational system, because everyone uses the internet to find info and as we all know internet is rich with misinformation, therefore a platform such as this will be greatly helpful.

 

This is what makes blockchain really the technology of the future it could be used everywhere and not just for show

You touched on the actual topic of course it would be good if the educational process would be implemented with lessons on blockchain technology and its advantages for the entire economy of the world, this would raise the level of knowledge about the blockchain among students making them good specialists in the future.

Yes of course! That is the best way to teach the new generations about blockchain and cryptocurrencies. I do not see any downside to this but the thing is, who will be the teachers?

I think some educational system has already incorporated cryptocurrency into their system. I received a token from airdrop called LEDU (Educational Ecosystem) token. This implies that bitcoin or altcoins might serve as a means of payment in the education sector in the nearer future.

That gives the more knowledge to the student about the vision of the blockchain system, sone university has already putted blockchain education as a part of the study. if you can see how the era is always moving time to the time. More creative ideas and blockchain developer will born from there.

I think that in schoolchildren there is not enough economic education in general, and not just blockade, every person should know what is credit and what is the crypto currency

This will really happen in the future because we are entering the world of advance technologies and it is advisable to people to know about this digital or electronic currency so in order to cope up with this everybody must know what is this all about.

Maybe more on the concept of Blockchain and the system of cryptocurrencies integrated to basic economics, rather than Blockchain itself.
Blockchain is a little more technical since it is a record keeping system.

I think that it is possible, if we pay attention to the growth in this industry, it seems to me that in time it will be necessary, the younger generation will need this, this is new for us, we study it ourselves, and in a year it seems to me for this will not be the time, our young generation after finishing school should already know a little about this so that

It would be nice if it will be mandatory on each county to add blockchain as an educational subject in to schools. The world was very amaze with power of blockchain and how useful it was. If those youngsters will be introduced to blockchain, curiosity will always hit on their mind and there will be a chance that they will develop it drastically in the future. Blockchain will be the root of technology evolution.

Many countries has started producing courses outline on the Blockchain technology.

I think very soon we would be seeing titles such as Blockchain Engineers,  Smart Contract  Architect, DApp Designer,  SmaRt Contract Auditor n Validator etc
