So, I am a math teacher. I have for years been trying to teach scholars the benefit of investing and compound interest and all that good stuff. Now that I am learning more about the Blockchain and crypto currencies, I have started telling and teaching my students about it. I really believe that if I can get them to buy into the idea, this generation of students that focuses so much of their time and energy on technology and the internet, I can help them become the more financially secure group of students that I have ever taught.
I have told them about Steemit and how they can earn money blogging. Everyday they are discussing how they want to be vloggers and the people that they follow on the web. I now have several scholars that are interested in learning more and more about bitcoin, the blockchain, crypto currency and steemit.
At the first high school that I worked at there was a student bank. The students at that school could start a savings account their freshman year and deposit money throughout high school to have money upon graduation. I believe that I could start something like this for scholars at my new school. If anybody out there knows how I can start a group of scholars saving using bitcoin and the block chain, I would appreciate your input. I want to start a crypto club at my school and start scholar making investments now. I can teach them so much math by using the growth and decline of cryto currencies. They can learn how to read the charts and they can learn so much about compound growth and compound investments!
For the longest, I have had scholars ask me when they are going to use the math in the real world. I can truly help them see the benefit of being great at math, if I get this going. I would love to hear your thoughts on if you think it will work and if parents would support. Let me know!
