When I was in my school days I remember how I was taught. The curriculum is covered within the specific timeline and we don't know why we studied those topics. Everything is completely connected to the scoring of marks rather than understanding its real life usage. So, I request OP to teach the students how these cryptocurrencies are getting used around. In specific the teaching will be more effective when the use cases are well explained, because in school education we never know where we'll implement what we've learnt.

yeah that's a great idea. because that's how I felt when I was in school.

knowing the usefulness of what is learned is very important so that it can give a little motivational boost to students because they will know that what they learn will be very useful in the future.
^ Probably some of them are not interested in this because they don't have an interest when it comes to financial matters.
In the good side, this is very helpful to them that at an early stage of them they learn about BTC, if all teachers will do the same by the OP, people will truly understand what is the real meaning of BTC and how it will work and also the reason why BTC existed. We must be thankful to OP and we hope people like him should be rewarded soon those students.
In the past, memorization was a mandatory menu for every curriculum. but only a few teach the science of enrichment. therefore the motor nerves of the brain are less able to develop. just like when we teach bitcoin, of course starting from theory to real practice must be given, because that way it will be easier to understand and develop, for example we are only limited to investment, it is hoped that our students can trade, so that there is an increase in students
During those days it is quite complicated to make students understand the concepts and the underlying process involved. Nowadays technology have made it easier and students were able to understand through the visual learning contents available for everything. So, now students have moved from the memorizing learning methodologies to understanding the concept and experimenting it.
Yeaa ...
Teaching today is greatly helped by the development of technology.
if first when the teacher explains the lesson, our eyes will read a book explained by the teacher.

but now for a teacher can use a projector screen / infocus or the like. so that when explaining all the students leaked onto the screen. new to explaining bitcoin. then when we give an example and receive bitcoin it will be easy because it is displayed on the screen directly.
only when the school is equipped with a special computer classroom. it becomes much easier.

Teaching methods will now effectively maximize maximizing existing technology.
different from when we were in school. we learn by boredom. because every day have to read books and books.

Wondering what I'm doing here? To give a little back story, I have been assigned to a secondary school (high school for those in the United States) for my national youth service as part of the  mandatory one-year programme for graduates of tertiary institutions. I have been assigned as computer science teacher for the senior class in a school where there are no computers. I guess the students are expected to learn only theory and let their imagination do the rest. I want to give the students a different experience other than the one they are used to. I'm a Bitcoin guy, I wear a Bitcoin shirt to work. I'm practical about bitcoin and want to integrate Bitcoin and crypto as topics in my teaching practice. I am preparing a course outline and borrowed some beginner topics from bitcointalk. I will be borrowing computers from nearby centers for class projects when the time comes. I don't know what to expect from the students, any suggestions will be appreciated.
You can't expect for your students to grasp things easily about bitcoin because all they know is fiat, and bitcoin is still strange for them knowing they don't have the technology to have an access for the latest inventions. However, if you can teach them the potentials of bitcoin and all its advantages and disadvantages compared to fiat, that way they will start to understand bitcoin. But presentation of bitcoin from computers should be more visible for them so that the learning will be more effective.

I'd see your passion OP for teaching Bitcoin pushes you to something that I can't really imagine. it is actually hard when you are teaching computers if your students don't have any of it in front of them nor even have a single/basic knowledge of how to operate it. Bitcoin and blockchain technology are technical and somewhat hard for them to appreciate it as they are not techy enough. You can't expect this to be an easy job for you as surely it takes longer but I hope you make it and I believe that.

Appreciate this effort.
I can imagine how bad the students' experience of learning computer but there is no computer. Because that was also my experience when I ma in the Junior and also Senior High school. So, it will be gone after leaving the class  Grin
Well, actually that is a good idea when you want to integrate Bitcoin and also crypto into your class. But what to pay attention to is:
- Are your students ready for this?
- Bring them with something very general and easy to accept, moreover they are new and also in such kind of condition
- Don't think too much expectation because sometimes students are unpredictable and they may like much or even dislike much
- Try to use certain approach that can attract their intention, moreover attract them to at least listen to your explanation.
This may be not easy, but you can evaluate of what you are doing.
But the fact that you should rbing your own computer and prepare all of it,t his is too much

Probably you didn't listen enough that is why you are confused and same thing will happen if OP do not integrate BTC learning according to his subject matters carefully.

Everything is completely connected to the scoring of marks rather than understanding its real life usage.

Aside from scoring marks, the current curriculum of a student is connected to its next curriculum so deviating too much from what is given will only confuse students and possibly build a weaker foundation in that area.  I am not against teaching BTC but there is always a proper place and time for everything.  So I request OP to properly integrate the BTC learning according to the curriculum he is teaching.  If he can't then better abandon the idea of using the time scheduled for learning the laid out subject curriculum.  Better to do it separately and probably it is better to request an extracurricular activity so OP can tackle BTC learning separately, for example creating a school club for it.

As long as you learn basics of things, that is all that you can do. What people need to understand is that not every nation is rich enough the same way, computers are very expensive things if you are living in a poor nation, maybe you imagine that everyone has computers and it is such a common commodity in the world but the reality is that computers are still rare resources for most smaller nations.

In that case making sure that kids still learn about computers becomes a big task, since you can't get your hands on computers that easily, even personal level let alone getting one for each kid, it becomes a bit of a difficulty to teach them how to use it as well.

I appreciate your seriousness in providing learning to the point of being willing to sacrifice to borrow a computer to provide knowledge that will change the mindset of young people and future generations. I hope what you do can really have a positive value and bear sweet fruit in the future.

You teach the fundamentals of Bitcoin to the generations who will lead the next 20 years, representing our hope that we couldn't do where we live. Therefore do good.

All the people in the forum now will had some knowledge about the crypto currency.But all are at the starting level will learn as like you.In bitcoin,trading can be learned only by the practice or by trading of the coin.You can learn more about the crypto currency from the beginners thread by the old people.We had made enough post to learn more about the crypto currency.

Actually you are supposed to work under the command of the colleague curriculum to impact perfect knowledge to the offsprings,

The higher-ups think that the curriculum is the most perfect approach but we all know that there is more way than what they propose.  I also believe that OP must not deviate from the given curriculum so that the student won't have any shock or confusion about the new knowledge OP will bring.  He must introduce Bitcoin knowledge carefully and must put a thorough study on how he will integrate Bitcoin as if it is part of the given curriculum.  Given the subject is computer science, I believe OP will be tackling the technical aspect of BTC.

When you have a good initiative for your students, then continue that effort and start with the simplest way. I don't think the OP will force his desire to continue teaching bitcoin to students who may not be interested in learning it, but I'm just concerned about how the OP can convince students to be interested not just about making money but more about the technicalities of bitcoin itself.

It is common that everyone will like money, even if it is a student. Here everyone needs to be aware of the possible initial effect that they start learning to make money where they put aside studying for knowledge. When they start to focus on making money then I'm sure their study focus on other subjects might decrease, but maybe I'm a little paranoid about that possibility.

I've got professors when I was on college that they're inserting topics that are not related to our discussion. So, I guess if you're finished with the topic that you have and you still have enough time.

You can discuss and talk about it with your class and that's a very well initiative that you have. Aside from your PC, I think you have your laptop with you so while waiting for those computers, you can have the demo through it and that's much better than having nothing.

That's fantastic. The mere thinking that you are keen on making your students learn more about technology shows how good you are as a person.
There are many courses online that you can refer to and include it in your program.
Can you recommend some of these online courses you think might be useful. Thank you.
Also, if you don't have much resources for the computers then you can get one laptop/computer and tell your students to operate it taking turns one by one.
This way all your students will be able to access a computer at least for a specific time.
There are thirty five students in a class. One computer won't do it, I will try to get at least 5 PCs for class projects. My PC is available so I have one already. The remaining four won't be much of a problem as long as I promise to return them in good condition.

We are from the same country mate, so I understand what program you are running, firstly you probably dealing with teenagers and from my experience with them it require apt concentration and good follow up, teenagers are very curious especially to the easy way out and most time it’s the back door. I once talked to a group of teenagers in my street about Bitcoin in a hurried manner and rather than be interested in the real value of Bitcoin they asked how they asked if Bitcoin can be used in a negative way (Scam) not until I settled down and gave them a true lecturing of Bitcoin and crypto. My first advice to you is to let them know that what the underworld and streets has painted bitcoin as isn’t what it’s really meant for, explain to them the dangers of using Bitcoin negatively this is very important and never shy away from it. And they rest of the lecturing is based on your experience and research.

Their are so many things for you to introduce to them about bitcoin , atleast the basic things you need to teqch them. Make them understand that bitcoin is not a money making machine that can make one to be rich within a short time. Also, teaching them the risk behind Bitcoin and how to manage risk. It is also important to teach them how to avoid scams as young bitcoiner, their are many ways beginners can be scammed , from what you have experienced from scammers you should be able to teach them. Give them lesson how to secure wallets and how to keep seed phrase in the proper way. This are some of the important things they neeed to know about bitcoin.
As a rule of thumb, I never introduce Bitcoin to newbies as an investment opportunity it can be quite disastrous to do so. I will be teaching the students the basics, wallets and wallet security, how to send and receive bitcoins.
For Satoprincess suggestion concerning the Economics teacher, I talked with her and fortunately she's open minded, and is researching on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies on her own time.
