This is about the best I've been able to do so far. I can't get comments to upload consistently to blogger. It might be a bandwidth problem. I'll try again with a stronger connection. At least I've got what shows in the URL posted. This screen shot compares the result with Mircea's https://evomcarchive.blogspot.com/. I'm not sure if further xml downloads are needed.

Hi again, for anyone inclined to play around with the JSON, wp4, wp5, and/or blogger xml files of our G+C, I've made a backup of everything prior to this post, zipped it up (since drive doesn't allow upload of raw JSON files apparently) and uploaded the zip file to Google Drive, where anyone should be able to download it and upload the files in the package to blogger or wp or some other platform, e.g. Moodle.

A huge thanks to Mircea Patrascu who has worked closely with me to help me follow the steps he took to create https://evomcarchive.blogspot.com/. At this stage we're working together to get the data preserved in the formats mentioned above and we'll take the month of April to see what we can do with the xml files by way of preserving the most functional archive possible.

I plan to make another final backup before April 2 but I doubt that much will be posted here before then. If it is, we'll get it in the final b/u hopefully.

See you on the other side :-)

Here is my question.

Here is my question. I'm collecting data on people's attitudes toward social media and it occurs to me that the only good thing about G+ shutting down is that we might be able to get some anecdotal data out of it. So here is a question meant to elicit such data :-)

How will the loss of G+ Communities impact you? What are you losing from your professional life with its demise? What will you miss most? What did you like most about G+C's or what will be hardest to replace?

Any comments you can make here along these lines will be appreciated and might help us understand tangentially how important social media is in our professional lives.

Hi everyone, I've purchased a license for GooglePlusExport (good on only one device unfortunately) and Mircea Patrascu and I are working together on getting one or more definitive backups of our community. I've just downloaded 1106 posts in JSON, WP, and Blogger formats just to see how long it would take. I plan to post my last backup files in my Google Drive, and of course we'll create a blog using Mircea's trickery to make a final archive.

This is to let you know we'll be wrapping up soon. G+ plans to shut down April 2 (I guess if they'd said April 1 we wouldn't have taken them seriously) so I'll probably make a last stab at a backup March 31.

Meanwhile I have a question needing attention I'll ask in a separate post. Look for it Real Soon Now. I'd appreciate any answers :-)

Before this group disappears, I thought I'd post Jane Chien's pictures from TESOL Atlanta. Here is the link to our presentation at the conference on EVO Minecraft MOOC, at The Best of EVO, an event similar to the one at which she and I presented last year: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yvdqSlQzduE2-VCmk-L4_Luv-N96kgqaVCryuKjVcQU/edit#heading=h.3fwc126vsc6c

As I am planning for the TESOL conference, I re-visited the WordPress page that Mircea Patrascu has backed up for our group. Thank you so much, Mircea! I hope we transfer this year's posts there as well. I can help after I get back to Taipei on the 18th. I like Vance's post "Keep calm. It's almost time to say goodbye," but I'm not ready to say goodbye to our G+ community! https://evomc143864209.wordpress.com/

If anyone is interested in trying an Italian Minecraft server Tantrum has been really nice so far mc.tantrum.org:23456 . It's a 1.13 server and they are testing 1.14 as well but I haven't tried it there. They also have a Discord server.

Hi all.

Hi all. As the clock counts down on the demise of this marvelous home for our community, many of us are actively considering where we should move to. If you have any thoughts on the best all-in-one home for our continued sharing and discussion, please add them here. If you'd like to talk it over live, you can meet us in Discord at 1300 UTC on March 1. It might be fun and appropriate to pop into Minecraft while we're at it, if that's not too distracting, though the focus would be on the discussion. Meanwhile, there's more information here, http://missions4evomc.pbworks.com/2019_Live_Events

Dear group.

Dear group. My name is Esty. I am an English teacher from Israel. Can I join this lesson and watch the webinar once again?
Thank you.
P.s.
What will we do when G+ will shut down?

Thanks Mircea Patrascu for giving us a group lesson on how to use scriptcraft in Minecraft to build castles, bridges, stairs, and blocks. While Emanual immediately built a house with codes, Mattie Tsai was creating chaos creating outpours of lava using codes. I suffered "intentionally accidental" (as Dak put it) deaths because of Mattie. Vlad, Mircea's son came to the rescue and teleported me back several times when I respawned. We look forward to Mircea's next coding lesson! ^___^

Minecraft Windows 10 Edition (free for anyone who purchased Java Edition before October 2018) can now be used with Code Connection - a free extension that "helps students learn how to code by connecting popular programming platforms to the game".
I created a small tutorial for installing this version and running it together with CC extension, by using as an example my Scratch PixelArt editor: https://kidslovetocode.wordpress.com/2019/02/24/pixelart-in-scratch-transferred-to-minecraft-using-code-connection/
