As a final adventure, does anyone want to visit a jungle temple with me? UTC 13 to 14 is always a good time for me.

If you are free today Feb 7 at 13:00 UTC and you'd like to join us on the #evomc19 1.12.2 server (and in Discord if you wish) you'll find people online at that time. All are welcome, and if you want help with anything else, there will be people online to answer your questions, help you advance to the next level, or admire your builds if you'd like to show them to us. Hope to see you there.

Tomorrow, February 4 at 8 PM EST, I am happy to host EVO Minecraft MOOC 2019 on the East Coast Miners server. We are running 1.13.2 and the server address is server.eastcoastminers.org. Student miners may be available to show us around. If not we will use warps to see what we can.

Any questions, feel free to ask them here and hope to see you there

Here is the destination.

Here is the destination. Starting point 24k. Overland trek west by northwest. Eventually we'll reach a river. We'll make boats and head for this biome. We might need a few Minecraft days for this one, and Teacher Vance is still working on route planning, but if you want to help with that, meet me and Bobbi Bear at the 24k warp on the 1.12.2 Minecraft server at 1400 UTC, Friday Feb 1. All you need is a sense of adventure. We'll help equip you and build shelters en route.

Teacher Vance and Bobbi Bear have created a Doodle Poll for the times we can be available in Minecraft 1.12.2 on Saturday Jan 26 for an hour or two between 02:00 and 06:00 UTC

You can find the poll here, hopefully times given in your time zone (starting at 2 am UTC, 8 pm in Chicago): https://doodle.com/poll/ae98udezap5ce5ib.

The time FRAME is 02:00 to 06:00 UTC on Sat Jan 26
That time frame where you are is
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Sat+Jan+26+Teacher+Vance+and+Bobbi+Bear+arranging+Sandbox+Adventure+in+EVO+Minecraft+1.12.2&iso=20190126T02&p1=1440&ah=4

If you'd like to join us, indicate your availability in the poll,
we'll see it, and we'll schedule a time we will definitely be in Minecraft when we know that the most people can be there.

We can either meet with no plan, or if you would like an adventure, we can explore the jungle mansion near the spawn point or go looking for desert temples. Teacher Vance knows where two are, at least one of which is likely unexplored (hence not yet looted).

PLEASE NOTE we will come Minecraft ONLY IF someone responds to the poll and indicates the time they will be there

For updated information see
http://missions4evomc.pbworks.com/w/page/130258521/2019_Live_Events#SatJan2602000600UTCTeacherVanceandBobbiBeararrangingSandboxAdventureonEVOMinecraft1122server

How do we meet up in Minecraft?

How do we meet up in Minecraft? One way is to set Doodle polls. I might try that shortly (for it to work though, people have to respond to the polls :-(.

Another way is to just go online and see who is there. We had no event scheduled for last night, but that's what we did at around 1300 UTC, just went online. Michiyo Toshima was there and she said she was ready to learn to build a house. So we started building one. Dakotah Redstone and Jane Chien caught wind of what was going on and dropped in to lend a hand. See pics of the result here: http://missions4evomc.pbworks.com/w/page/130258521/2019_Live_Events#WedJan2313001500UTCEVOMinecraftMOOChelpsMichiyobuildahome

So there's another idea for a project. Would any participants like help building a house in survival mode on the 1.12.2 server? Or anywhere for that matter? Just tell us when you'd like to have a team of builders come and help.

"Building Challenge" on Sunday 1/27 14:00 UTC

Rose Bard, Dakotah Redstone, and I are hosting a building challenge. This is an activity designed for beginning English language learners. Please join us for a test run and we welcome your input afterwards.

Place: EVOMC19 Server, we'll meet at /warp 14k
Time: Sunday 1/27 14:00 UTC

Teacher Vance and Bobbi Bear plan to hold a Guided practice on the EVO Minecraft MOOC 1.12.2 server today Jan 22 from around 13:30 (we hope to get back home in time for it) until 15:00 max (bedtime) for anyone with questions or who wants some guided practice or who just happens to be there. We'll be in Minecraft 1.12.2 and in Discord.

I have updated http://missions4evomc.pbworks.com/2019_Live_Events with the information.

Although there are no further events planned for this week that I can see, and keeping in mind that PBWorks was down briefly this morning, please be aware that there is a backup/planning space here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EBBpjp6ofpfHz6i2eNVBEYBXXPLMgL3BEnBzZP9Deso/edit?usp=sharing

I hope that moderators will update that space with their events, and that someone will update the live events page as well.

Happy Minecrafting

Teacher Vance proposes a #learning2gether streamed event in the EVO Minecraft MOOC 1.12.2 server on Mon Jan 21 at 1400 UTC. This will be a Wilderness adventure trek to Black_Kitten's village to help develop the seaport there. We meet at the Birch House and push the button in the Wilderness Warp closet to be transported to the place in the picture below. Then we head west where we hope to be met by Black_Kitten herself, a.k.a. Oleksandra Sladkovska

All who wish to join us are welcome. If you join us, don't worry, we'll take good care of you, but I will attempt to stream the event for anyone who would like to sit back and watch, and of course that will make a recording, which I'll post later, if all works well and nothing gets blown up by a creeper.

More information, times where you are, and so on, at the link provided.

The Doodle Polls have hardly been popular this time around though that hasn't prevented us from gathering online for many satisfying encounters amongst ourselves this #evomc18 session. If you'd like to use the polls to increase chances that someone might see when you'll be available, I've set some up for Feb 13-17. Find them here

Maha Abdelmoneim and Beth S O'Connell, for some reason I am unable to post a comment on your post at https://plus.google.com/u/0/+BethSOConnell/posts/YFT9DUQCza3, but I have added a placeholder at our events wiki (the place where you find links to all the active and past doodle polls)
http://missions4evomc.pbworks.com/w/page/121439859/2018_Live_Events#MonFeb52000ESTvisittoVSTEserver

Booklady is a writer at that wiki, so you may add any further information there. Maha, there is a signup sheet for giving presentations here. If you or anyone else would like to give a presentation I would be happy to add you to the planning sheet
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EBBpjp6ofpfHz6i2eNVBEYBXXPLMgL3BEnBzZP9Deso/edit?usp=sharing

or if you want to create an event on the events page above, I can add you as a writer there.

Thanks for offering! Hope to see you in Minecraft tonight :-)
