It would be interesting to see who the first teachers are to do this and if the media picks them up. I know small media outlets would as they pretty much cover anything.

POS Wallets could teach a lot about basic math even to elementary school kids. PiggyCoin in fact seems geared in that direction, it's like a Piggybank.

Well, that's a good idea. I would even do that in my class later (I'm a Mathematics teacher, anyways). Actually, Mathematics is a very interesting subject, and integrating it with cryptocurrency will be a great way to make it more interesting. Cryptocurrency will fit best in topics like Algebra, Probability, and Statistics where students could learn how to predict the price of a crypto with the given data. We can also use that in other subjects like Economics.

Economics truly suits the idea of crypto. When this will be added to your topic, especially trading, I think some of your students will be inspired to do trading, may it be crypto or stocks. As a teacher, you have a great influence to your students, and you can use that influence to make the community grow.

I don't agree with you, it is nonsense to me. Cryptocurrencies are not be a way to teach something. They are very complicated even for most people. Teaching math is also difficult.

Uhmn, you mean in school as basic mathematics? Or only for Programming as basic logic and understanding regarding digital currencies and blockchain technology would definitely the best subject for IT and computer science and Computer Engineering.

I agree with you on the later statement regarding the basic logic and understanding of digital currencies and blockchain technology. They should incorporate this in programming subjects and we will see an explosion of crypto projects and its applications in various fields. With this idea, we will also witness many innovations and sophisticated designs and improvements. Hope this will be the popular choice of programming for the new genertion.

We should let children enjoy their playtime as they would just pay bills and shoulder many responsibilities in the future. The idea is good if we limit it to university level and computer science related courses or finance courses as it would be understood better and can be applied to their field.

Agree with that, but unfortunately schools has their own rules. For basic knowledge I agree but for built skill, please think again. Most people will have high interesting when " take profit " is easy, but they are no expert. There's risk they must face it and prepare fund also emotion control. It will change their mindset but when do on the wrong place and time, bad thing will happen. Have a nice day.

It’s a good idea to teach cryptos in school so that people would be aware what cryptocurrency is, but when you teach it to the children I think they cannot easily adopt it because me myself I don’t really understand what is cryptocurrency is all about and it’s environment, but if it is took from the roots or the origin and step by step process teaching maybe they can adopt, because it needs a good foundation.

Haha. This would be a crazy idea but I think it can start them off with basic knowledge about cryptos. I'm not opposed to it .

Some kind of way, because the calculation for cryptocurrency is very complicated and that was enough to teach them with number of math Grin

I don't think it is a good way to teach math, it is very complicayed yo convert one currency to another currency with so many decimal, if you said you want to introduce in economic class the I will agree, I like it when young generation attracted to crypto

The crypto disciplines are already practiced in a number of Universities, so I'm sure not much time has been left till our children will be in theme from the school years. Maybe they will face this topic first just in indirect ways, as an examples etc.., but as for high school, I have no doubts cryptocurrency will be involved in a program.

Yeah if we give children to solve 1 hash a day for homework at lowest difficulty, we're bound to find a block. Mining with children, I like it, best of all they eat very little and you don't have to pay them. Way better than dealing with ASIC manufacturers pre-orders.

if only those time while I'm in college if our teachers are already into these crypto currency it would be definitely the time to start and invest as early as possible. But if in school it would be on early subjects like advanced basics or semi algebra.

You mean like solving blocks?

That would be something I think kids could understand the basics of but I was thinking more about POS wallets.

They should also teach in high school you can trade with .25% fee instead of $6. Grin

I had a teacher at University that talked about bitcoin in his economics courses, a few years back. It wasn't a whole class on crypto but it was really good to see that kids are receptive and open to it and I'm sure that thanks to him some have bought into it.

So yeah, I'm all for crypto in schools. Grin

that is really good experience. I am totaly agree that the crypto should teach and enter the literature at least on economy classes in universities.

Don't let make things hassle. Just let the normal lesson of Mathematics today on what it should be.

Other lesson for crypto must be on seperate time and not mixed on other subject. It can mentioned but not as a whole.

I don't think that crypto will spread so wide to teach it at school. There is no financial education in school as well (because it's harmful for governments) and you are talking about crypto =))
