Hello educator and web3 frens,I imagine a future in which interactions on the blockchain are so commonplace that you won't even know you are doing it. Like the internet of today, it isn't even a conscious thought to "surf the world wide web." There's no modem. No "dialing in." No cords to plug in or discs to load. The internet just is.We all know how clunky some of the web3 technologies are. Opening your crypto wallet, signing your keys, and transferring eth to approve a transaction. It's almost like using the internet in 1991! For many that doesn't matter. Apparently, it suffices that it's cool, it's fun, and it's cutting-edge.It is true that first adopters will forgo the inconveniences of new technology because it's new. But what about the rest of us? And what about when it isn't new anymore? There will come a point where the need to interact with the blockchain will be so strong that the technology will NEED to improve.But we're not there yet.The examples this week are actionable changes that are doing the work to move this technology from "soon" to "now."🏫 Learn about a virtual reality charter school that is up and running in Florida📖 Engage with a series of articles from Coindesk on how the world's top universities are teaching blockchain, crypto, and Web3💃 Read about how metaverse platforms are transforming online clothes shopping for consumers💰 A huge investment to expand access to educational resources for Latinas
