Steemit Crypto Academy Weekly Update #17 [ June 7th, 2021 ] - Recruiting More Professors
Season 2 of the Crypto Academy has now come to an end.
We are currently reviewing this and working on some exciting new developments for the next season that will begin in two weeks.
Because of the continued growth in interest we will be expanding the Academy to have three levels of courses - Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced.
Taking on board a suggestion from Professor @Sapwood the Beginners level will be set up to follow on from the Newcomers Achievement Tasks for those wanting to expand their crypto knowledge.
The Intermediate and Advanced levels will have progressively more difficult courses and homework tasks with progressively higher entry requirements but also progressively higher rewards.
This expansion of the Academy means we need to recruit more Professors so today we are opening applications again for anyone interested.
The Steemit Crypto Professors
The primary task of a Crypto Professor is to produce weekly or bi-weekly course posts on a cryptocurrency / blockchain subject agreed between us.
Each of these posts should also include a homework task for the students to practice and expand their knowledge of the topic.
The Professors are then expected to check, comment on and grade within two days all the homework posts submitted for their course. This is likely to be around 100 posts a week. Professors will generally be working in pairs to share the workload of grading the homework posts.
At the end of each week we ask the Professors to produce a summary post giving feedback on the homework responses submitted.
For all their hard work, the Professors are rewarded each week with generous upvotes from @steemcurator01 on their main course posts and their homework feedback posts.
They also receive small upvotes from @steemcurator02 on some of the feedback comments they leave on the students’ homework posts.
We are looking to recruit several more Professors although we won’t know the exact number until we have finalized the plans for the expanded course system in the next few days.
Participation in the weekly homework tasks will be one of the factors considered in the selection process.
How to apply to be a Professor
If you would like to be considered as a Steemit Crypto Professor you should make a post with the following information…
a summary of your experience on Steem, and other blockchains, and other relevant off-chain experience or qualifications (no more than 250 words)
a description of why you think you would be suitable to become a Steemit Crypto Professor (no more than 250 words)
an outline of the topics you would cover in a sample 5 week course suitable for newcomers to the crypto world (no more than 500 words)
links to the three best crypto related posts you have made on Steem - ideally these should be Crypto Academy homework posts.
Application posts can be in any language, and should be published by 11pm UTC on Saturday, June 12th.
Please include the tag #professorapplication (and your country tag) and put a link to your post in the comments below.
We plan to announce the new Steemit Crypto Professors by Thursday, June 17th..
Thank you,
The Steemit Team
Thank you so much.
The Newcomers and naive users will now be motivated to join and complete the task in the crypto academy after graduating(or completing Tasks) from the Newcomers community. This will definitely ensure a smooth transition and will surely cater to the interests of those candidates who seek to expand their knowledge and know-how of the crypto ecosystem.
The pro users will continue to bank upon with the advanced use-case and Tasks in Crypto Academy.
This will certainly proliferate a new era of crypto literacy in Steem Blockchain where every category/level of experience will be addressed.
Thank you again.
Steem on.
I'll steem on till my last breath.
HOW WORKS STEEMIT?

• Steemit is designed as a decentralized application (DApp) built upon the Steem blockchain, using the eponymous cryptocurrency STEEM to reward users for their content.
• By voting on posts and comments, users get to decide the payout of those posts.
• Users also get so called "Curation Rewards" for finding and upvoting content that gets upvoted by other users afterwards.
STEEMIT – HISTORY
• On July 4, 2016, Steemit, Inc., a company founded by Ned Scott and blockchain developer Dan Larimer, launched the social media platform Steemit as first application built upon Steem blockchain.
• On July 14, 2016, Steemit announced on their website that they were hacked. The attack, according to them, has compromised about 260 accounts. About US$85,000 worth of Steem Dollars and STEEM are reported to have been taken by the attackers.
• In March 2017, Daniel Larimer stepped back as Steemit's Chief technology officer and left the company
.
• With the STEEM price dropping during the 2018 cryptocurrency crash, Steemit faced financial difficulties and had to lay off 70% of its staff.
• On January 22, 2019, Steemit announced structural changes in their leadership team. Former CEO Ned Scott was named Executive Chairman, Elizabeth Powell, the former Head of Communications & Advocacy was named the new Managing Director.

The Steemit Crypto Academy community, together with all its members, makes a great contribution to the Steem blockchain.
It's a good idea to refer all users to the community.
Merhaba, şu an sanırım 3.sezona geçilmiş ama ben 1.sezondan başlayabiliyor muyum acaba bilginiz var mı 🙏🏻 Bu konuda bilgiye nereden ulaşabilirim
Birinci sezondan başlayamazsınız 3 sezon da henüz başlamadı. Formatta değişikliğe gitmeyi düşünüyorlar. Yakında bununla ilgili açıklama yapılacak. Yeni başlayanlar, orta düzey ve ileri düzey şeklinde kurslar yapmayı düşünüyorlar. Şu an için yeni başlayanlar ve orta düzey kurslara katılabilirsiniz gibi gözüküyor.
Muhtemel taslak için şuraya göz atabilirsiniz. 1 hafta içinde açıklama yapılacak .
https://steemit.com/hive-108451/@sapwood/steemit-crypto-academy-or-comprehensive-summary-sheet-season-2-or-proposal-for-season-3
Bu makaleden sonra aklınızda herhangi bir soru kalırsa buradan ya da discordan geniş bir açıklama yapabilirim.
Teşekkür ederim, ben taslağı inceliyorum 1 hafta içinde kesinleşirse yeni başlayanlar için olan kurslara katılmak istiyorum. Ben takip ediyorum güncellemeleri ama eğer siz de aklınıza gelir ise kesinleşince beni etiketleyebilirseniz çok memnun olurum.
Rica ederim.
Şu an ki taslağa göre başlangıç kursuna (yeni gelenler) katılmak için başarı görevini en az 4'e kadar tamamlamak gerekiyor. Sizin hepsini tamamladığınızı düşünmüştüm. Başarı görevi 3'e kadar mı yaptınız ?
Yok hayır ben hepsini bitirdim pro verified rozeti aldım hatta Türklerde çok az kişide var 🙏🏻
Çok iyi, tebrikler.
Dilediğiniz başlangıç kursu için uygunsunuz.
Minimum itibar puanı 50
Minumum SP 50
Powerdown başlatmamak
Başarı görevini en az 4'e kadar tamamlamak.
Bir gelişme olursa sizi etiketlerim.
Hola, donde se completan los logros?
Çok teşekkür ederim yardımınız için, tüm koşulların sağlanmasına çok sevindim. O zaman ben program başlangıcını bekliyorum 🙏🏻
This is a wonderful development @steemitblog. This is a link to my application post: https://steemit.com/hive-108451/@damzxyno/my-application-to-be-a-steemit-crypto-academy-professor
Saludos amigos . Quiero felicitarlo por una excelente noticias para todos.

Muchísimas gracias eh aprendido mucho con esta academia y mis ganas de aplicar este conocimiento cada día aumentan. Espero poder seguir aprendiendo de tan excelentes profesores
Wow
This is a beautiful initiative. I am glad that the newbies are put into consideration in this crytpo training. I have so many newbies that are interested in participating, but due to the high expectations, they were not able to meet up with the demands.
Thank you @steemitblog for always having the interest of community members at heart.
Best regards
Ma fill in for the professor post
This is really great...
Greater steeming experience..
I am beginner at steem
This is really a great opportunity given to steemians of all levels. The knowledge of blockchain is important in our present generation, im positive this will wildly increase the steemit community as many are seeking for blockchain knowledge. Many have been scared of the present expectation of the Crypto Academy homework for past weeks. This is really cool, I'm looking forward to apply as a professor from cameroon.
Right
