By fusing Steemit.com with self-directed learning communities, we can evolve our educational and economic systems to better align with our transition into the Age of Information.
We are no longer in the Industrial Age, yet many of our educational and economic paradigms remain the same. "Modern" schools use standardization practices to produce students as if they were products in a factory, so these students are able fill factory jobs.
Today, automation has made many of these kinds of jobs obsolete, and businesses are beginning to look for different employees. They don't need factory workers any more- they need creative problem solvers, critical thinkers, and people who are able to collaborate and communicate with each another.
To address this problem, I created @Colearning.
@colearning is an educational strategy that monetizes education, by connecting self directed students, with a community of people who share similar interests. Then by organizing our learning on the steem blockchain, we can earn together and learn together, with the aim of creating intelligent communities that foster a thriving world.
Various "schools" will immerge as community learning accounts. These accounts will post self organizing learning posts, that encourage the community to write about a specific subject and post a link to their article in the comments. From there, colearners are encouraged to interact with the community, thus deepening their learning, and increasing their earnings.
There are many more contests, fundraising projects, and community building features to this strategy, and it will continue to evolve over time.
Right now, I'm still creating the overall strategy, and crafting posts to explain how this concept works. Although I'll use the @colearning account initially to cultivate an intelligent community who's interested in Self Care, Earth Care, and People Care, I intend to shift that community to a different account, as more learning communities appear. Then, I'll use the @colearning account to connect learning communities together, and put out posts to help refine and evolve our strategy.
My personal aim is to find investors that will either personally interact with these communities, or delegate their steem power to various colearing accounts. This will empower investors with an opportunity that is both intrinsically and extrinsically rewarding, while simultaneously onboarding more and more people into the crypto realm.
After explaining the difference between the fractional reserve banking system, bitcoin, and the steemit economic system , I'll articulate how investing in steem and steem power is not only a good investment financially, but socially, environmentally, and intellectually beneficial too.
Although I want to use @colearning to deepen my learning and earnings on steemit, I want the account to benefit the community, using its earnings to either power up, invest in shared resources, or donate to charitable causes. Each post will designate where the funds will go.
I hope to launch @colearning in the next week or two, so make sure you follow us, and stayed tuned!
