Teaching Blockchain Technology at elementary school
As an Advocate of Blockchain Technology and its forthcoming revolutionary impact to our very own modern-day life, I am constantly on the lookout for News Articles that I like to share.
I strongly believe, as an Advocate, that the route for development of Blockchain has to be taken back to the very core of our education system and brought into the forefront of primary education to children under the age of 8.
Some may say this is a crazy idea to suggest, some will agree with this, however no one can deny the ability for young children to adopt to technological developments in our modern day lives.
In the future, Blockchain Technology will be as important as reading, writing and arithmetic, and you could even argue that it will be important as the Internet itself, as it alone will become the Internet.
Earlier on I was scanning my news feeds and came across this excellent article I thought I would share.

EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION
Society has to take a good look at the current Education System over the coming decade as the System is rapidly loosing ground to technological developments.
The current Education System that was ok for the 1970's and 1980's has to be rethought to accommodate not only the adoption of the Internet but the fast approaching and certain adoption of Blockchain Technology.
In essence, Blockchain Technology ought to sit alongside the likes of the basic forms of education, in the order of: Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Blockchain Technology.
All other subjects should sit beyond these.
In the future having the basic understanding of Blockchain Technology will be as important, if not more important, than understanding the basics of: reading, writing and adding up..!!
Once again this is a great article and credit to ETHnews for the content.
Thanks again for reading.

"It seems that blockchain technology is taking place in our lives faster than we imagined!"
I started banging on about this four years ago on Twitter and people thought I was absolutely mental..!! I kept telling people that Blockchain WILL change our lives and it met by abuse, ridicule and in some cases threats. Funny? The same people who laughed now want to be my friend..!! Go figure..!!

What can say is that you convinced me now! The idea is that people reject ideas that they do not understand or know almost nothing about. I'm looking at me! In the last year I have accumulated tons of information on this topic about which I had only heard tangentially last year!

I think this is the step forward if we were to start implementing kids how to program and learn about blockchain technology. I guess it may be a time to move away from the Victorian like system we have now and look into teaching things that will actually be useful in the future.
Let's see what will happen for the future of education

"I guess it may be a time to move away from the Victorian like system." I could not agree more. When I tell people that the Current Education System has been around for decades they think I am crazy. What people do not realise is that we have the same Education System today as we did before the Internet was around and I tell them, "...how can this be right?". Stephen

I think this is a bit of progress, in some parts of the country There are many people who do not understand Blockchain, let alone understand Maybe hearing the word blockchain just never. That's about. If I may know which country you are from and where is this blockchain taught to the children? As a person living in a developing country I am very happy with the development of blockchain in this modern era. Thank you for posting. I think this is a good post

I am from the U.K and the article was for a pioneering project in Melbourne Australia. This form of education should be rolled out Globally over the next decade. Stephen

This is great news! As a teacher, I am wondering how I can introduce blockchain to my students. I am happy to know that an elementary school in Melbourne is starting to do just that! Kudos to them and their #WoorannaCoin! All the best, @go2sheila

What if blockchain technologies could transform the tourism industry? While these technologies have been tested beforehand in finance, logistics or the energy sector, some players in the world of tourism believe that they too could benefit from it

In the future Blockchain will be applied to everything .....and I mean EVERYTHING. The best way to explain it is like talking to some in the 1980's and them asking what will the Internet be applied to. Effectively over the next decade Blockchain will be applied to EVERYTHING that is on the Internet..!! Stephen

Education, Education, Education is still the final solution:
The only way to avoid the costs of change and not be run over by the Wheel of Progress is to anticipate it. The alternative is to be pushed and possibly be crushed by the Wheels of industry.
Sure State Education is not doing this, so we need initiatives on the blockchain to fill the Gap.
