I uploaded a new map to my realm and invited last week my students to join me there. We've been playing together for a week now and today I published some tasks. I borrowed the idea from Linda's ADM building and what I learned from EVOMC Mooc. During playtime in the chat, they use only English. In Skype, they try to use what they know. Here are pictures of what we have created so far this week. #MagicalWorldofMC
this week I attended the Digital Pedagogy Lab institute in Cairo 20-24 March16 and during one of the un-conferencing sessions that I lead I mentioned Minecreaft being used in education and some participants became interested in connecting with educators who use it for teaching and learning. If any of you would like to connect with those educators from Egypt and around the world please let me know so I can pass the information to them. thanks.
Hi everyone. I'm writing from Cracow, Poland. I'm a teacher of Polish, programming and robotics at primary school. I like mixing humanities with new technology. I play Minecraft just for 2 months, but I already love it.
Hello #EVOMC16 -- This is an announcement that Jeff Kuhn and I will be discussing our EVO experiences and inviting folks to tour the EVO Server during the afternoon tech fair at the Ohio University CALL Conference on Friday (tomorrow).
The presentation, titled "Minecraft for Professional Development and Networking," will be informal (part of the fair), but we will have computers open demonstrating our G+ Community, and our Adobe Connect meeting space. Adobe Connect will be available during the conference at the following link: https://adobeconnect.oit.ohio.edu/evomc16/
If you are available, please join us on the server and/or in the adobe connect session so you can interact with other teachers and CALL professionals and demonstrate our community in action!
The tech fair is scheduled for 1:30pm to 2:30pm EST...that's 5:30-6:30pm UTC.
Hope it is ok to post this information in this community ... maybe it is to special
Here is a link to a map for learning programming with computercraftedu. The basic idea of the map is to start by using the visual editor to solve some quests for example opening a door with the roboter turtle with the command "redstone true". The students should always compare their visual programms with the code-editor to learn someting about the commands in textform. Later I the visual editor will be stopped and only code-editor will be used.
