Hello educator and web3 frens,25 issues, wow! Every milestone, every subscriber, and every new issue reminds me how exciting this adventure has been and continues to be. Thank you for being here as I hit another marker on this journey.In this newsletter, I am always trying to identify connections. My purpose is to create ties between emerging web3 technology and the learning we are curating in our classrooms. I look at information as a big puzzle. My goal is to put the pieces together so a bigger picture appears.As a curious educator, the picture is getting clearer through the fog of hype. There are a number of components to this mosaic. One of these is the democratization of learning institutions through DAOs. Another is accessing learning about crypto and finance from non-traditional sources. A third piece is how NFTs will be used in our classrooms. Finally, what will the impact be of large NFT projects in funding the creator ecosystem?The resources for this week speak to those four pieces.
