Finally migrated our server files to a different host last night...it's currently back up at mc.evomc.net (you still need to run Minecraft 1.12.x) -- the survival map is up so you can visit the #evo2016 #evo2017 and #evo2018 villages.

Dynamap is also working at http://mc.evomc.net:8123/#

FYI, the world/map together take up 10gigs (mostly map tiles).

Let me know if you notice any bugs/issues!

I share my article that has just been published in the scientific Journal of Information Technology Education: Innovations in Practice with the title: Categorizing the Educational Affordances of 3-Dimensional Immersive Digital Environments .. with my dear teachers: Juan C Valdés Godínes, Paul Rudman. https://www.informingscience.org/Publications/4056 ... This paper provides a general-purpose categorization scheme for assessing the utility of new and emerging three-dimensional immersive digital environments (3D-IDEs), along with specific pedagogic approaches that are known to work. It argues for the use of 3D-IDEs on the basis of their ludic appeal and ability to provide intrinsic motivation to the learner, and their openness that allows the learner to gain a more holistic understanding of a topic.

I wonder if someone here can help me with a problem we are having running Minecraft Education Edition in our LAN setting. The problem is that students running Minecraft at the computers are not able to join each other's games. In some cases they cannot even see each other's computers, but in other instances the computers can detect each other (they show the user names of the students at other computers), but when the students attempt to join each other's games in progress, they get a communication error. We have checked in all cases that the students have enabled multiplayer, but they are never able to play in multiplayer mode.

Can anyone advise on what might cause this and how we can troubleshoot and repair the problem? Thanks if you can help :-)

In case you missed the in-world tour of EVO Minecraft MOOC at the recent Virtual Round Table #vrtwebcon, I made a YouTube video from the Adobe recording. It's embedded at the #Learning2gether Episode 393 archive of the event at https://learning2gether.net/2018/04/29/176467730/. Hope you enjoy it :-)
