I had meant to alert you to the live event yesterday, but at least there is an archive of a Classroom 2.0 presentation on MinecraftEDU with Laura Briggs (@LauraBTRT), Kim Harrison (@k4sons) and Trish Cloud (@trishcloud) sharing their experiences and stories about how they are engaging their students with MinecraftEDU both during the school day and in an after school club and summer camp. MinecraftEDU is a special version of Minecraft designed specifically for classroom use. It has been used to teach a wide range of subjects and is designed to be open-ended which allows content to be built around any subject area. Teachers have used the game to teach history, math, art, programming, creative writing, science, music, digital citizenship and more! It hosts a library of lessons and activities that are available for free and there is an active teacher community exploring and sharing uses of Minecraft in the classroom.

You can replay the recording and explore the comprehensive archive here:

My students are going crazy about Minecraft.This morning I asked my students to prepare quizes for their classmates on the grammar and functions we have studied. They are in the first year of the ESL course and this is the quiz they prepared https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/b6825b96-9b19-47e5-a6cb-156b53aad07d. Everything #Minecraft !

good news, Jeff Kuhn made it out of #evomc15 alive and well and has managed to tunnel his way to #tesol15 where we have found shelter and food at a newcomers welcome session where we hope to recruit new miners and avoid creepers and zombies. So far so good though it is getting a bit dark out :-)

Somehow we forgot to mention here that Jeff Kuhn has published an article on #evomc15 - Kuhn, J.
