Learning should not simply be limited to theoretical understanding but also integrate real world application. Schools can team up with technology companies to provide hands-on training and maybe even use traditional blockchain to provide real-time experience without financial risks.
Implementation of Crypto education: Challenges.
Technological Infrastructure
Along with this feature, technology is the main side of the issues: schools need to have comprehensive infrastructure to fulfill the idea of crypto training. This consists of high-speed internet, computers that are up to date and capable of handling blockchain simulations, and networks that are secure and protected to keep information that is sensitive.

Excelente publicación amigo.
Desde que entré a Steemit, es una meta que persigo. ENSEÑAR sobre crypto y la blockchain. Para lograr ese objetivo yo misma tengo que aprender. Para transmitir esos saberes.
Ayer estuve viendo esta comunidad y me agradó.
Muchas gracias, amiga; es un lindo repaso de las actividades que aparece por primera vez así, además de un gran estímulo de apoyo. Estoy muy agradecida por su tremendo apoyo.
I have noticed that there are already various coachings for learning Crypto Currency in different countries, hopefully more will be developed in the future.
