My Application to be a Steemit Crypto Academy Professor
This is a brilliant and impressive initiative in the steemit crypto academy. Not only will this create opportunity for new steemit members to learn but put more hands on deck to achieve the vision of the community.
I joined the steemit platform in August, 2017 when I was introduced by @valchiz. Later on, I introduced many other people of which a considerable amount are still constant bloggers in the platform. I have posted in different communities using many tags such as the then Steemstem, Airclinic, Science, Poetry and Story. I learnt the concept of proof of brain, plagiarism, image usage, citation and how to format my post for better presentation. I have explored every part of the Steem blockchain including tools such as steemdb.io, steemworld.org and steemscan. I am actively on the hive blockchain and also have experiences with the Bitcoin, Litecoin, Tron, Stellar lumen and Dash blockchains. I possess an Introduction to EOSIO certification from the EOSIO training and certification with a Certicate ID: is5ockup0d. In this course, I was taught the fundamentals of blockchain, the invention of bitcoin, altcoins, introduction to Ethereum blockchain, consensus algorithm, smart contracts, fundamentals EOS blockchain and platforms that uses the blockchain. This however is not an exhaustive list of the knowledge I acquired during this course.
Simplicity is the key to effective teaching, this means the ability to make the most difficult or heightened knowledge comprehensible to the simple mind. I know I would be a good professor because of the diverse skills and trainings I possess. I am well trained and experienced in the academic world serving as a class teacher and subject teacher in both Grade and High school. More information about my teaching experience can be gotten from my LinkedIn account. In my three years as a teacher, I compose lesson notes, teach the students in the simplest way possible, record assessments and examinations and as well organize surveys to discover where the students are lagging and how I can be of help as a teacher. Hence I can confidently say I have the skills of an effective educator.
I have diverse experiences in the crypto world which started in the year 2017. I have read a lot of whitepapers and used different wallets.
I have participated in different airdrops, used different exchanges, have been a victim of crypto ponzi schemes, used a number of exchanges, acquired and sold NFTs and played several blockchain games. These among several other experiences places me in a good position to teach people with minimal exposure to the crypto world than I have.
Newcomers to the crypto world need to start from the very basics, that is why our first topic will be the technology behind cryptocurrencies. They need to understand what the blockchain is and progressively move on to learn other intermediate knowledge of the crypto world. Below is a list of topics for the first five weeks if chosen as a steemit crypto academy professor for the beginners' level.
