Hi, effusive welcome to all, and here is what you should be doing this week.

Hi, effusive welcome to all, and here is what you should be doing this week.

First, if you are using the NEW version of Google+ Communities please revert to the OLD version. We designed on the old version and our sidebar might not appear in the new version. Google made many poorly conceived changes to the new version.

In the right sidebar, open the Syllabus (here is the link)

This gives you the overview of #evomc16  and points you to where you find your weekly missions and earn badges. Find what you need to do to accomplish the 6 week 1 missions here: http://missions4evomc.pbworks.com/w/page/103905435/2016_Week1_Orient 

Be sure and fill out the form

This will allow us to white-list you on our Minecraft server.

We are on the verge of announcing the IP address of our server. Shortly after we will use Doodle to organize times when you can see who is available to meet there at times convenient to you.

We have synchronous meetings as well. These are listed at the links above and also as Events set for this community. The next one will feature Jeff Kuhn on Sun Jan 17, time to be announced; followed by Bronwyn Stuckey Jan 24 . All these meetings are recorded.

Our first Event was Jan 12. The YouTube recording is not yet available but the slides are available here

If you need help post to the category Questions Needing Attention at this Google+ Community.

Welcome all and I look forward to learning more about gamification in learning and professional development from all of you in the course of this session.
