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.

Let them know about Bitcoin and crypto are okay, but don't make it a student's obligation and even make it as a project to be done by students. Remember that they are not university students, they may be not ready to know Bitcoin or crypto deeply. What we can do, is only let them know the existence of Bitcoin and crypto.

You also need to consider that Bitcoin or crypto topics do not deviate from the fundamental principle on the subject. You are a computer science teacher, make sure everything is still working as it should. Prioritize to teach what they should learn, Bitcoin or crypto topic is just a little additional knowledge.

Bitcoin will be spread all over the world in such a way that every human being will have a touch of Bitcoin at their doorsteps.However, the kind of thinking that you have done is actually a very good step. If every human being has such thoughts then Bitcoin will definitely move to a better position.A good education about Bitcoin will definitely increase the value of Bitcoin.

Good luck with that.

You can insert that to the syllabus that will be given to you by the school administration. I've been into theoretical class and it's really hard to imagine what's actually happening.

Being in a computer class and then there's no computer, it's hard for the students to cope up with the lesson. I remember that when I've been into a computer class during my elementary level, although we've used computer but only for a few times.

I see no problem with the teaching approach to them, just explain everything first the pros and the cons of Bitcoin because it's very crucial to them that might they become confused about this very volatile asset. Just only give the awareness either on the good side or on the bad side, don't force them to adopt it, as you've said, let their imagination do the rest and if they are interested they will find a way for sure.

Even though you have no computers, you can do it maybe on your mobile phone or tablet, a short video explaining Bitcoin's basic information will give awareness to them.

Here's a simple video on youtube that will enlighten them about Bitcoin and Blockchain and how it works.

Goodnight, o_e_l_e_o 🌹

Well, you have a nice gesture and you meant well for the students.
IMO, with the picture you provided, those students are under 18 years, bitcoin is a volitile asset, anyone who is to venture into cryptocurrencies should be upto 18 years so as to ensure they can manage the consequences of their financial decisions.
Just like gambling, the clause is there. If you negelect this, those students could use their school fees and invest in bitcoin and if it eventually dips, it will fall back to their parents.

If you want to create awareness of bitcoin, you can say that after classes and pass it as information and not mandate them or make them believe bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme.

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

In my experience the school system does not provide "perfect" education and graduates still have a lot of unlearning and relearning to do after exiting that system.

Op, do you plan to teach the technical aspect of Bitcoin (as much as the students can understand) or the area of financial literacy and independence? Or perhaps a combination of both.
You'll have limited time to impact knowledge as this would fall under extra curricular activities, so the beginner courses you talked about and some follow up lessons should be alright for now.

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 want a ~~trump hat~~ 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.

The school management will not be pleased with you if they find out that you deviated from your primary assignment of coming to the school for your service that is teaching the student computer, I would suggest you teach them computer during school hours then set out an hour or two for extra moral lesson.You can use this time to teach them about bitcoin any student who is interested will not be absent in your class again.

Then don't expect something in return, as least you have done your part and let those students understand what bitcoin is and let their imaginations run wild. You might hear questions that you might find interesting, and take note of the name of the students asking. Maybe in the future, those are the ones going to be crypto enthusiast and who knows, become CEO of crypto projects. Anyhow, good luck to you and hopefully it will really excite majority of them on the subject of bitcoin and crypto in general.

Actually you are supposed to work under the command of the colleague curriculum to impact perfect knowledge to the offsprings, but since they don't have a preferable device to educate students and you choose to use the knowledge of bitcoin to impact on them....so from my perspective, it's should be good when the heads of the college permit you to educate their students with cryptocurrency related knowledge. But from another angle it's nice for students to know the basic things of bitcoin.

You have been assigned too teach or lecture them on Computer science, you shouldn't shift focus too something else if you're to do anything else, you have too tell and teach them about the basics of programming that's if you're a programmer or inclined.
Get them aware about the types of programming languages and privacy I think you should focus on this both.
But if you really want too tell and teach them about Bitcoin you can and can only be done during break or leisure time as not every students will be fully interested in learning about Bitcoin. Don't forget too groom them about the types of programming languages in this generation, builder's a d creators are the major benefiters.

There is nothing bad to let them know (and know more) about bitcoin, but what matters most is your job which you were assigned for. I do not see it as a problem to be practical about bitcoin and let the students know about it, about how it is money, how they can not get scammed which is necessary, how to buy and hold on noncustododial wallet and what to avoid. But this would be better appreciated if you let them know about bitcoin like after classes which should just be a means of you devoting extra time for them. Lastly, you should not make it compulsory but encourage them about it and let them know how the world are now using bitcoin for payment of goods and services and for investment and profit making means.
