Hey all.

Hey all. So...yesterday I invited three of my students to "Lunch Lab" to teach me how to play Minecraft. All three are English language learners, two of whom are typically very reluctant to speak in English. I have a video (which I'm going to edit and upload later) and some written student work. Thought you might want to check it out!

Greetings fellow teachers and gamers!

Greetings fellow teachers and gamers! My name is Kelly Marie Johnston. I teach content-based ESL to fourth and fifth graders at an elementary school in Brooklyn, New York.

This is my first time joining an EVO course and I'm looking forward to learning from you all.
