More About Nadav: Nadav is the author of Education in the Digital Age: How We Get There where he offers an evaluation of how digital technology and economics are poised to transform education by examining the concept of academic capital. He explains why it’s necessary to reengineer the way credits are stored and used in education by implementing blockchain technology to the credits ledger system.Nadav excelled as a software engineer in Silicon Valley prior to becoming an award-winning physics/robotics teacher, turnaround principal, and public speaker.  The transition from software to education started when Nadav founded a nonprofit focused on hyper-local radio production. As a teacher, Nadav integrated podcasting into his curricula and was selected to lead a school design team. Seven consecutive years of breakthrough student outcomes followed, along with widespread recognition for his digital media centered approach to school reform. Nadav promises to end standardized testing in NYC high schools by 2040.  Based on nearly two decades of experience, he has launched an open source, blockchain ledger of "gold standard" high school credits.  Nadav was a keynote speaker and led two breakout sessions at the 2021 Miami Crypto Experience. How Non-transferrable NFTs will Upend Public Schools Web1 brought PUBLISHING (download). Web2 brought SHARING (download+upload). Web3 brings OWNERSHIP (download+upload+keys). WEB3 EDUCATION will allow students to take OWNERSHIP of learning. How do we prepare students for citizenship in a Metaverse? Make learning into experiences that students mint as NFTs. How do we use Web3 to accelerate agency among high school students? Let academic leaders earn cryptocurrency rewards. What does blockchain, the key technology behind Web3, have to do with education? A high school transcript is a ledger of accounts and decentralizing that ledger is as important as what is happening with bitcoin. Is the Metaverse really the future? The meta-crisis is and if our students do not learn to distinguish signal from noise we are all going to suffer large scale disasters. _________________________________________________ Follow: https://www.instagram.com/sidrit.veselaj/ Your host Sidrit Veselaj is on Instagram and other social media platforms @sidrit.veselaj , email [email protected] for direct inquiries. https://linktr.ee/sidrit
