Hey nostr! I’m a high school science teacher new to nostr, and I want to use the platform to get community feedback on a curriculum that I’m making for teaching AP Environmental Science next semester at a California public high school. My husband is a bitcoiner and encouraged me to start this journey on nostr because I have 5 weeks after the AP test at the end of the semester to teach about any relevant topic that I want. I want to tailor each unit throughout the semester to relate in some way to bitcoin and would like community feedback to help teach the next generation of bitcoiners! I want to start by building out my slide deck for the unit as well as the lesson plans using a decentralized platform if possible. From there I can post links here to get feedback as I design the units. More than anything, the class is about painting a picture of how systems in our environment - both natural and man made - are interconnected. I try to focus a lot on boiling concepts down to first principles to get students thinking critically and engaging in debates in class. Energy transfer through systems is a big topic that ties many of the units together, and ultimately I would like to use bitcoin to help tie these ideas together.

My first question is: if I want to use nostr to build out my slide deck for class to share with you all? Any recommendations on text editing platform for writing lesson plans? Once I’ve built these items out I’ll start sharing links and asking for feedback!

hello! Welcome to a wonderful place. I have no recommendation maybe nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 do you know?

Thank you so much Dan! Looking forward to the journey! Appreciate the repost and helping to get me connected with the right people!

I would say nostr:npub12lzwey2hjc2ce0stwa3ldhg04h93wj263lvdhrf87qfzz9jsggeqwuntw2 could point you in the way of some more up to date peer reviewed items

That would be amazing!

who talks like that?

"welcome to a wonderful place..."

gnarly.

Welcome to Nostr and the decentralized social future! 🫂🤙🏻💜

Maybe just writing a blog style article would be good? You can use highlighter.com habla.news or Yakihonne.com as these are all Nostr blogging platforms.

Perfect, I’ll start there. I can put together a few of the lesson plans in that format and then see where we go from there

welcome to nostr. there's some really cool tools you can explore at https://zapstore.dev/

This is perfect - I’ll take a look around

Thanks for getting me connected Chris!

I don't have suggestions but am following you because I'm very curious to see what emerges!

Welcome to Nostr 💜

Thank you! Looking forward to sharing the journey!

Welcome! 🌻💜

Welcome! I used to teach high school English. Bless your heart for hanging onto this profession. Glad to hear you're teaching critical thinking. Best of luck on your mission with nostr (I'd offer help, but I'm new to this)

Haha certainly has its moments… COVID was dark times but I’m optimistic that we’re back on the upswing…

can't wait to see where this takes you and the students!

Thank you! Me too!

Welcome to the party pal

Would you be interested in each student running a lightning node? Take a look at Rizful.com

Yes! That is the kind of thing that I’m here for!! Let me get a framework together for the semester and I’ll reach back out! It would be awesome to have them set it up at the beginning of the class and then be able to talk about it when we get to the bitcoin unit in the last month

Set up a wallet so we can zap!!

Welcome to #nostr

Welcome.

Make reading 'The Creature from Jekyll Island' a requirement would be a good starting point.
