#Learning2gether celebrated its 300th episode on the 2nd day of the #SLanguages conference #slang15. Under the skillful wizardry of Heike Philp, four co-moderators of the proposed EVO Minecraft MOOC #evosessions met in Adobe Connect, where Bron Stuckey and Vance Stevens introduced Minecraft, explained its pedagogical significance and appeal to young learners, and extended that appeal to teachers using Minecraft as a vehicle for understanding gamification in the course of their professional development. Filip and Marijana Smolcec, also with us in Adobe Connect, shared a screen where young Filip proceeded to demolish forests for resources and build a shelter as night set in, which he survived despite giant spiders overhead, and emerged at dawn to watch them burn.
