There are over 60 million teachers and 750 million students in the world today. We need to bring them to the Hive Blockchain.
Source
Education-hive's goal is to empower educators to empower their students and to help provide an education to anyone with a desire to learn regardless of geographic location or economic status.
Our dreams are huge. Some day, we plan to be able to:
- Offer content courses
- Develop educational technology and apps
- Share lesson plans
- Provide how-to and tutorial video
- Facilitate one-on-one tutoring
- Encourage educators to share ideas and problem solve
- Allow for students from around the world to collaborate
- Create a knowledgeable and active alumni to help future community members
We have begun by searching for and rewarding the best educational content on the Hive Blockchain. Our project has voted 18729 times for 1310 unique content creators. With more HP, we would recruit and retain more educators and students and make our dreams a reality.
This project is 100% not for profit. We have used all of the rewards generated by the account to either rent delegation or to power up in order to encourage and retain high quality educational content creators.
We will support:
- High quality, original educational content
- Videos that teach lessons or provide examples
- Technology/apps created for the classroom
- Lesson plans
- Assessments
- Teaching materials
- Educational stories
- Labs and experiments
- Advice
- Educational games
- Teaching methods which can be applied in the classroom
- Properly cited material
We will not support the following:
- Plagiarized material
- Low quality material
- Offensive material
- NSFW material
- Material lacking proper citations
- Improperly formatted or grammatically incorrect content
Please join our community and help hive.blog become a leader in the world of education!
We are hoping that there will be tools available to allow us to rent HP in order to support the education community here on Hive.
@education-hive, Excellent initiative for educators especially at this time we can be active and share with many people our ideas also receive effective feedback.
Do you really have to post the exact same message daily?
We're glad you asked. We understand your question and appreciate the opportunity to explain. We will try and do it quickly.
For the past couple of years as steemiteducation on steem, we were trying to build an educational community. We started this long before the official community feature existed. Basically a very small team donated their time to curate and reward quality education related posts. Unfortunately, as the value dropped, it became more and more difficult to provide enough rewards to encourage content creators. We decided to start using minnowbooster to rent SP that was then used to vote on education related content. In times when that became inefficient, we rented SP directly from individuals. We used 100% of the proceeds from a daily post to pay for this SP that was then spread to many content creators over the years. We found that supporters of the project preferred to vote on one main post that fueled the acquisition of SP rather than simply following our votes.
Since moving to Hive, we changed this main account to @education-hive since calling ourselves something related to steem seemed like a bad idea. We still vote for all the posts using the HP of @steemiteducation and we hope to continue to build @hive-education to support quality posts.
Since moving, we have found it difficult to rent HP. First, minnowbooster which utilized steemconnect , is gone. It seems the only way to access its replacement is by using the hive key-chain. We are not comfortable granting the permission required by the key-chain. We have not found any individuals who are willing to rent HP directly to us. If you know of any, or would like to rent some to us yourself, please let us know. We are willing to pay a competitive but reasonable rate.
As far as the daily post. Because we have a very small team of volunteers, it seemed wise to focus our energies on actually finding posts rather than spending time on new content ourselves. Even when value was much higher, not a single volunteer ever asked for any payment. We understand the concern about "spam". Heck we see it every day. However, we are hoping that people continue to see our one short daily post as a net positive for the platform. We don't churn out multiple low quality posts. We don't vote on our own comments. We simply use one relatively short daily post as a seed to help many others.
Actually, maybe that last sentence was the short version ;)
Again, thank you for willingness to have a conversation about this.
Thanks, understandable. I've been scanning the new section over the past two weeks to look for new groups or new users and each time I see one I haven't found before, I check their past posts to make sure they aren't a bot. Having the same posts each day was a flag from me but with the explanation, hopefully eventually you'll have the HP to reward the educators in the way that you wish, without renting delegation.
Keep on rewarding those educators!
I removed my downvote, thanks for getting back to me. I don't like giving them but they are necessary in some scenarios.
@education-hive or @steemiteducation I am posting about education from the last 3 days regularly and I am not getting any upvotes by the education community. Also, you can read my posts about how they are presented. I have also seen some users are simply uploading images of others and they are getting good upvotes. One of my friends is doing the same and he is getting enough upvotes.
I hope you will do something ASAP.
Thanking you.
Hello, Thanks for leaving a comment. We will take a look at your posts. Hopefully, if things keep going this way, we will be able to split our vote more and be able to encourage more content creators.
Who is your friend?
Can I tell you in discord.
I am glad to be back after many days of not posting to this community. It is high time we employ the #posh initiative to share our education posts on Twitter to reached the unreached teachers and students. This will hasten the onboarding initiative for the millions of teachers and students around the globe.
I hope that creators on this community would love to engage at least 2 posts daily with comments.
Meanwhile, does this community have a Twitter handle? If not, it's time we created one.
