Bitcoin class with my students.

[Mr.right85]

One of the very advantages of bitcoin is staying private and by that I mean, being anonymous to most and only bee known by a few of which, you just might hand pick. Am saying this not because of the students your teaching out there but with respect to the lots of Internet users that might access this post and just get to pick the face.
What most users do is to blurr there face or make it not an easy to recognise somehow. Perhaps you don't wish to be anonymous and that's on you.

It's a nice move and a board one to take bitcoin for a class.  Hope you did justice to the points you chose to enlighten them kids on. Keep preaching when motivated mate and be cool.

I'm a high school teacher. I was given the opportunity to assess my students understanding of bitcoin today after class. I was shocked to find that most of them knew very little or nothing about it. Since the majority looked interested and willing to learn more, I made the decision to explain the concept as well as practical examples.
When the lecture was over, I was thrilled that I had introduced the subject because many of them were enthusiastic and had asked wonderful questions.
In the next two to three years, some of them will grow to be adult, and it's good to let them know about some financial decisions and actions they will take as they are growing into adulthood.
I also made sure to tell them not to engage into it for now not until they have have grown to have a much more wider  understanding of he system. Cause there are cons as much as pros in it..

wow! I am shocked that you are giving children lesson about bitcoin! Though you have stated them as high school students and claim that they will be adults in 2 or 3 years. I am shocked that you think primary level children can grow adult in 2-3 years and make financial decisions. As I can see them in your picture, they look like primary kids.

If they are high school students and will grown up in 2-3 years than I appreciate your efforts to educate them about the digital currency. Otherwise I stick with my statement above.

[SirLancelot]

I agree with your idea that they should learn the basic economic too since this will help them to understand why Bitcoin price moves a lot.

But I feel like that what can we expect on high school students? I think it's normal for them to not know Bitcoin because they are busy with their lifestyle. You know, going to school, doing homeworks. If they have some time left, they will probably use it to entertain themselves by playing video games or browsing social media sites. They aren't like to us adults who are now looking forward on ways to improve our life and that is we came across Bitcoin.

Still, OP is doing a good job there and it's great that most of them are interested about it. For now maybe they should try to save Bitcoin or make it as an investment because this is more on a passive side and it's also easy to do than any other Bitcoin activities.

Great! Just as this is a great idea (if taught well), I believe it can be risky too. It's very crucial that you were careful with how you portrayed it to them. Wrongly Introducing kids with the concept of Bitcoin could give them the impression that it's a safe or easy way to make money, which isn't necessarily true. They can also choose to dive in (as they may be young but have a mind of their own), and they can be a target for scammers or fraudsters who might try to convince them to invest in a fraudulent scheme. So yep, you need to make sure that you said it the right way for them to fully understand both its blessings and dangers too.

No hate on what you do OP and as a matter of fact I applaud your act of service, teaching these younglings on how awesome bitcoin is in multiple aspects of the coin. Going back to my statement, I think the primary reason why they have little to no idea of what bitcoin is or cryptocurrency even is because of the fact that you may live in an inopportune area? I don't mean any offense. I doubt the students even get proper internet connection to begin with, let alone the opportunity to learn what bitcoin is in the first place. I do hope that something comes up in your area that would allow for more technological advancement and therefore an opportunity for these kids to learn what bitcoin is on their own. I think it will serve them well in the future if they do, and I give you a massive thumbs up for paving the way for them.

Some people pay so many less attention to privacy and it is mostly because of the country the people held from. It could be that they do not respect privacy but this forum should give them idea of privacy and they become smart. This forum teaches many things and who ever that is a member of this forum should learn many things apart from cryptocurrency because this is a great forum.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Great work op, I love seeing people sharing knowledge to others especially to young generations when it is term of Bitcoin blockchain. Seriously this is a great contribution to the development of Bitcoin adoption, because I know some those students will talk about Bitcoin to their parents and elder once when they get home and from there who are interested will surely do more research about it, and for the students it will seriously help in future. I will also like to have this kind of opportunity to also impact knowledge to other too.

Op, I see that you did not mention those topic you treated with the students, it will make more senses if Forum can see does topics you treated incase of any advise they are willing to give you. I hope you are just giving them the basic knowledge about the blockchain for now.

[serjent05]

Nice work at OP, I see you have large audience, I hope you have done a good research and preparation so that you can relay to the students what really Bitcoin is in a way they can easily understand.  I also hope that you tackle the economic aspect of Bitcoin and had warned all the students about the risk involved in cryptocurrency.

You should also tackle how important to consider the country's regulation toward Bitcoin and its transaction.

Great job op, this is a good initiatives by bringing the knowledge of bitcoin and blockchain to your locality this is called "grass roots impartations or development" meaning they are being inculcated early to the digital worlds and believing they will have the knowledge indepthly while they grow and know how to make decision on concerning their financial status.
Please try to be more practical with the subject I think they would learn very faster while learning.

That is really a great work from OP. Not everyone take initiative, even when we have time and the knowledge to teach. Another important thing, these are the upcoming users of cryptocurrency. As said educating the grass roots make the network even stronger. Just came across a thread where random people were questioned of Bitcoin or $100, and the response is $100. These kind of education will change the preference among those people.

Imparting knowledge means responsibility of the information being transferrer to another people. If you'd be biased, then there is a high tendency for you to put that people you are trying to help, on danger. It should not always the positive things you need to emphasize but also the negative to prepare and for that certain individual to manage their expectations. Since it is knowledge on bitcoin which is being shared, emphasize the risk of engaging into it. People might get their hopes up because of the profit potential but never instill to them that it would be easy to do so. This is to let them know as well that there's no such thing as an easy way to be rich, which is a misconception in this industry.

Yeah same as well, I was disappointed seeing that those young teenager doesn't have any sound knowledge about what is called bitcoin which led them to quickly make a pick of 100$ instead of bitcoin. I believe this kind of class would go a long way to help educate the young teenagers, if only we all could do something like this I believe there would have been a wide spread of bitcoin across the globe.

[mvdheuvel1983]

I would have loved to know the guidelines you used in teaching them about bitcoin, the age range of the kids, and if you tested or will test their knowledge of bitcoin in your next session with them. The bitcoin and cryptocurrency ecosystem is so vast that introducing children to it cannot go wrong. It serves as the foundation for learning about
how the economy works, personal finance, and others. The caveat here is to take it slowly, teach them at their pace and according to their age. Teach them about the pros and cons and the risks associated with each.

[Lida93]

Good job mate, but if that is a government school aka public school you are going against its rules and you can be prosecuted for doing that, imagine the principal walking in on you and asking you questions, that topic is not on any school syllabus and that's why we are never thought some things in school about money, also, Bitcoin the second crime could be, that Bitcoin is not presently legal in your country.

You did well but, just be careful.

Any school principal that's digitally inclined will otherwise give himself to knowing and having a good knowledge of what digital subject is been thought to his students before   jumping into concluding if it's wrong or not but I know that no digitally exposed principal in this 21stC will deny his students such free opportunity of a one day lecture just because it isn't yet in schools syllabus. It can be classified as extra morals. I just hope someday the Nigerian government understands what they are missing on bitcoin.

[TopTort777]

I have understood that you gave them basic knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, some of your students made some questions after the class. But did you get any feedback after? Did students asked for more classes? Did they plan or already created their first wallets? Started reading crypto info by themselves? Or the information during that class was like "in and out", means they sit in that class because they had to?

P.S. Damn, it is so hard to recognize what you have written from if sitting on last desks. From that pictures, I have only managed to recognize "impact of Bitcoin" from what is written on the board.
