Sun Feb 1 1400 GMT #Learnng2gether with EVO Minecraft MOOC: Modifying the game for language learning with Dave Dodgson, Jeff Kuhn, and EVOMC15 co-moderators, https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/ckmi5bcs2572sa408vef64oa500 
 
Dave Dodgson  will outline what his students at his former school were doing with Minecraft and what he's been doing at his current school. He has a few videos his former students made on Youtube which he will also share. And now that the #EVOMC15 particpants have tested the Minecraft waters Jeff will lead a session on modifications for the game (nothing too technical) so folks can get a glimpse into how Minecraft can really be tweaked for specific learning content.
 
We'll meet in Hangout on Air, stream on http://webheadsinaction.org/live for an hour, share Minecraft screens, and then move to world post-show. All are welcome. More information at http://tinyurl.com/learning2gether

Hi all, anyone interested in meeting in-game Friday (1/30) around 14:00 GMT? If we're up for it I can swap out our server map and tomorrow we can play survival mode. Thoughts?

I wonder if ESL teachers are working on mods?

I wonder if ESL teachers are working on mods? There are books in Minecraft, I just discovered so students can write their own texts for each other to find I suppose.

If Conan can do it, we can do it in class.  Thoughts on an in-minecraft talk show?

Morning tidbit from Canvas Minecraft MOOC, there is a free demo mode login available for MC, worth a try if you just want to see what MC is about:

You can download a demo from https://minecraft.net/demo. All you have to do is register for a Mojang account which is free.

The demo is a time limited demo so it resets the world after 100 minutes of play but the demo does not expire itself. http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Demo_mode

Greetings fellow gamers.

Greetings fellow gamers. I discovered today that we can create groups in Canvas MC MOOC and so I created an #evomc15  group there.  This link will only work if you are logged on to the canvas course, but once in Canvas you click here to find groups https://learn.canvas.net/courses/433/groups. Then JOIN our group within canvas.
