#Nostr in the classroom
Teaching for example, is basically a social phenomenon. Teachers/Professors and their students are part of a social network which best thrives when this social network is such that everyone participates in a secure, interesting ways. Imagine a social network that has all the elements of like/favourite, share (locally and with the world uncontrolled by anyone), within the context of a classroom but also works equally well outside of the classroom.
As a student, you are part of a social network where you receive information from your professor and your fellow students, but at the same time, you can _either_ communicate ONLY with your fellow students OR with your professor and the fellow students, or with the professor alone, or whatever, only you control and tweak the conditions of what information you want. At the same time, you want this network to be able to connect you to the rest of the world.
This is possible with #Nostr. Imagine a class of four students where the professor (or the IT people at the University) set up a server for the class that serves as a private "relay" for the class. Students can pull from that relay and the professor pushes into that, and then depending on the context, students can either "push" into that relay or create a separate relay where they can talk with only themselves.
These can open up unprecedented teaching opportunities in a classroom or university.
