Hi folks, the Tutorial World in Minecraft Education Edition is rife with opportunities to use English, but I find that my students often act on instinct, don't read the instructions, and break the tutorial displays before studying them. So I made them a tutorial. Feel free to share, and feedback appreciated.

Hi guys, I need your help.

Hi guys, I need your help. Where I work we've just acquired some Microsoft Education Edition licenses to use on our Windows 10 computers. The students log in through their Office 365 accounts. This works on some of our installations but on others, the majority of them, the Minecraft sign in through my organization's sign in page doesn't work. That is, on some W10 machines, we can log in at our sign in page; other W10 pcs in the same room do not accept the credentials even though we can log in to other Office 365 apps on the same machines - only the Minecraft login doesn't work - any suggestions?

I guess I have been living under a rock a little more than usual.

I guess I have been living under a rock a little more than usual... did anyone else notice this?

Here is the video from the #VRTWebcon presentation organized by David Dodgson, with myself and Jeff Kuhn as featured speakers. Filip and Marijana Smolcec were also there. Linda Gielen spoke at length, while +Dakota Redstone and Mircea Patrascu popped around in the back and foreground. Hope I didn't miss anyone :-) Find the show notes at #learning2gether https://learning2gether.net/2017/05/05/learning2gether-weekend-with-the-9th-virtual-round-table-web-conference/
