Most everyone has likely heard about NFTs but may not necessarily know what they are or how they can be used, especially in education. The creation and use of NFTs or (non-fungible tokens) are popular topics of emerging technologies. In addition to hearing about NFT in education, we are also hearing more about the metaverse, blockchain, and web3. There are so many changing trends and technologies in the world. As educators, we have to continue to keep ourselves informed.

Some of the loudest buzz in tech these days is about NFTs, a new high-tech way to format digital files that somehow led an artist named Beeple to sell a jpg for $69 million, a video clip of LeBron James dunking a basketball to go for more than $200 million at auction and a New York Times column about NFTs to score $560,000.

Interesting idea... what could we in education sell on the blockchain?

"What do Beeple, LeBron James and Jack Dorsey have in common? NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens.
They’re a blockchain-based way to establish the authenticity of a digital asset — a video, a digital artwork, a jpg or any other digital object. In the world of blockchain, data is stored on a public ledger and, for reasons that are very mathematical, is secure from tampering.
The fungible bit, if you’re not a finance geek, might need some explanation."

What do you think? Are NFTs in education a passing fad or are they going somewhere?

I'm curious, how are you using NFTs in your courses or programs?
