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.

Responding to an invitation from Kim Harrison I got up this morning at 5 a.m. my time to attend the VSTE VE PLN meeting I announced on #learning2gether here http://learning2gether.pbworks.com/w/page/32206114/volunteersneeded#TueApr100030UTCVSTEVEPLNmeetingonlessonideasforusingMinecraftinschoolsettings. I came in on the tail end of a tour of a display of builds illustrating "lesson ideas for using Minecraft in school settings." I flew around and took some screenshots. If you can get on the VSTE Minecraft Server, you can /warp schoolwork to find the display. Personally I want to go back and try the railroad which appears similar to something Mircea Patrascu once built for us in #evomc15

One small caveat, I've been experiencing internet timeouts lately. This sometimes pops me out of the game. I'm usually able to get right back, but I hope it won't impact the streaming. If so, short recording (cuz there's no respawn in streaming ... though maybe I could set something else up on the fly, we'll see what happens :-)

The final piece to the archive of the talk entitled Projects and challenges – designing and building, that @BronSt uckey gave to #evomc16, EVO #Minecraft MOOC, one of this year's #EVOsessions, is now posted as #learning2gether episode 312 at
http://learning2gether.net/2016/01/24/bron-stuckey-and-evo-minecraft-mooc-projects-and-challenges-designing-and-building/ 

A screencast was originally made of the live session but replaced with a YouTube of the Adobe Connect recording due to its better quality, so an mp3 rendition was made from that. Finally, the text chat replete with links was harvested from the Adobe Connect recording and linked to from that URL. Thanks to Bron for the effort, and I hope  you enjoy the result.

#Learning2gether Episode 303 takes place this week in conjunction with #MM7 Moodle MOOC 7.

#Learning2gether Episode 303 takes place this week in conjunction with #MM7 Moodle MOOC 7. Vance Stevens has been presenting lately on gamification in teacher professional development in the context of EVO Minecraft MOOC. Today's talk expands the context to the 16th iteration of Electronic Village Online #evosessions, currently in preparation, and its varying approaches to TPD. #EVOMC16 takes an approach which appeals to its moderators, which is to learn about #gamification through experiential play. Vance will talk about how this works in EVO Minecraft MOOC, and how anyone of a similar bent is welcome to join us in January, 2016.

When? 1500 GMT ... Where? WizIQ:
