Distance education.
The sudden closure of schools, high schools and universities in France, caused by the Covid-19 epidemic, has resulted in an unprecedented use of distance education.
We can hurry to learn to use new tools to continue doing as before but otherwise or we can take the time to question the purpose of education, the content of the programs, the meaning of life ...
I can tell you: use Khan Academy, Wikipedia, Moodle and Steem and everything will be fine. You will be able to work on your Bac or BTS and life will restart as before as soon as the epidemic stops.
The role of the educator and to get out of the emergency decreed and think a little further.
The role of education:
Many books have been written on the subject and I will cite the 119 letters of the association authentic education on this subject:
- Letters of authentic education

The tools of distance education
Wikiversity is a university created by Internet users for everyone, using the functionality of a wiki, much like Wikipedia. Hosted by the wikimedia foundation, this free university already includes thousands of courses in many languages and is just waiting to be improved. I hope that all teachers of National Education and Family and Rural Homes will take advantage of this period of work at home to publish their course on Wikiversity.
Khan Academy is an award-winning free online academy, containing many free courses in different fields. To try without moderation. At the college and high school level, first written in English but now available in French, Khan Academy is a valuable tool.
Youtube is the well-known video library containing thousands of tutorials and lessons on just about any subject.
Moodle is an open-source platform dedicated to uploading courses and exercises. In case your lessons do not already exist somewhere, better, you can use Moodle to put your courses online or participate in one of the many online universities offering courses in Moodle.
G suite for education brings together a set of tools developed by our favorite giant. Can education be entrusted to a private company?
Funding for distance education
"If you think education is expensive, try ignorance" Robert Orben.
The financing of education is completely revolutionized by the possibilities offered by blockchain and digital tools.

@project.hope team,
Dear @chrisaiki
Are you located in France yourself? My impression was so far, that French authorities have been very slow with their reaction and introduced all those measures a bit to late.
I was sometimes wondering - will future of teachers be also threatedned by AI. Assuming that we will spent most of the time learning online - then why would we need to use services of expensive teachers. AI + VR would be so much cheaper and most likely better.
ps. Any idea why are you blacklisted by Steemstem ?
Upvoted already,
Yours, Piotr
You always ask excellent questions ! I will have more times in the next weeks to answer them after some thinking. Thank you for the upvotes and the ideas for 3 new posts. yes I am a French teacher, Google assistant is already doing an excellent job and I have no ideas why I am blacklisted by Steemstem ( for immediate short answers !!!)

There are many goods articles in this communities and some not so good (in my opinion only) so I prefer to decide by myself how I will use my 10 daily upvotes. When things will go back to normal, I hope it will, I will certainly considering joining your trail.
Dear @crypto.piotr
My friend, I must answer in the affirmative if... definitely if the future of teachers is threatened by AI.
That will happen in the very near future I dare say in 10 years time
Concerning the action of the French government, I will write some critics about the way we do not fight hunger, we do not help migrants and we do not invest enough in renewable energy. But I think I will not criticize the government about the ongoing epidemic, this is not the proper time to do so.
Dear @chrisaiki
Good point., my dear professor, I'm also a professor at a university in Venezuela.
And as of last Friday in Venezuela, in a very surprising way, they suspended all classes at all levels.
the government ordered them to adapt to the Internet classes. The problem is in:
The internet communication system in Venezuela is very deficient so I don't think that plan will work
Since I met Steemit I have used it as a platform for my students to be informed and also to join this chain of blocks.
Recently the last thing I did was to publish a small guide that I use to guide them in the last unit, which we have not finished yet because of the suspension of classes.
The role of the educator is certainly very important and we must keep up with technology in every way, the young people of today are up to date, we as teachers cannot be left behind.
Greetings from Venezuela
It is nice to meet educators from other part of the world; Thank you for stopping by. I will have a look at your guide.
I built a peer-to-peer help center based on Steem for apprentice and this is something I would like to propagate around the world.
