Incorporating Steemit into my class

I've only been teaching in public school for 5 months now, yet I can't help to see the bitter reality from my students. I grew up from a poor family so I'm aware that poverty is existential. Despite of that, my eye has been opened to worst cases of poverty that are unimaginable.

As a second mother, I would love to help. So I tried to give them a fish. But,I had no means of teaching them how to fish.

And then Steemit came into my life.

If it has given me hope for a lot of possibilities, it should work the same thing to my students.

Just in time that the lesson was all about blogs, I got the chance to introduce Steemit to my class. This morning, I was able to have a thorough discussion with them about the platform.

I discussed to them the nature of the platform and answered queries. They got fascinated when I told them that they can earn from it. Well, who wouldn't?

Scanning some blogs from well-known steemians. Showed the blog of @purepinay to give them a doze of inspiration.

Gave the students some ideas about their first post and instructed them to make an outline of their #introduceyourself post.

Minnow as I am, I can't share much to keep them inspired. I am even not well versed as to how the platform works. But then I believe, one day, workshops will be organised for these students. My fingers are crossed at the moment. ;-)
