@MrJason_Jackson @CommonSenseEd Welcome to the chat Jason! Glad you could join us. #MinecraftED

Mr_Ullman May 31 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Q1~ What are the WORST aspects of survival, adventure(mini-games) and creative Mode in the classroom? #MinecraftED https://t.co/VRGhjjgEnZ

Mr_Ullman May 31 @ 8:12 PM EDT

I find that I have to spend a lot of energy trying to keep them doing what they're supposed to be doing. #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator May 31 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@waginski Sounds awesome. Snap some pics and tag them to #MinecraftED. Families that craft, PvP, and Grief together, stay together. I think

tisinaction May 31 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: (cont'd) Also, in creative, preferring to spend more time on the build rather than the concepts to be learned #minecrafted

Artguy76 May 31 @ 8:12 PM EDT

My fav. Mode is Creative/ P.E. But I have started to play a little on PC version #MinecraftED

PBJellyGames - Moderator May 31 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Thanks for this point Mr Ullman. It's really about their game and how they play it that becomes engager #minecrafted https://t.co/8ZEVnQRz7X

Mr_Ullman May 31 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 Answer for all modes is the same...some Ss just want to play the way they always play. #minecrafted

tisinaction May 31 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@Artguy76 I love PC version for building. More of a learning curve, but wouldn't go back to PE! #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator May 31 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@Mr_Ullman What are the biggest draw backs of Ss being set in a certain way? Especially in the classroom? #MinecraftED

MGrundel - Moderator May 31 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri You are forgiven, #MinecraftED

waginski May 31 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1. @Mr_Ullman Often my Ss rush through the content so they can do their own thing. #MinecraftED

MrJason_Jackson May 31 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1 My ability to play has to be the worst in any mode :) #MinecraftED In class, Ss just want to play their way when challenge is different

johnmillerEDU May 31 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1: Time management! Soooo difficult to judge how long lesson elements are going to take in all modes. #MinecraftED

PBJellyGames - Moderator May 31 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@PBJellyGames @MGrundel Hmmm, @mr_isaacs and I will be at #ISTE on 6/28, perhaps we can rally the MC nerds to join #MinecraftEDU chat!

irvspanish May 31 @ 8:14 PM EDT

#MinecraftEd A1: Any mode...negatives= griefing

MGrundel - Moderator May 31 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@tisinaction Yes, I find this to be a challenge too. Too much time spent on build. Is there a work around? #MinecraftED

Mr_Ullman May 31 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Last week we did the Water Challenge Remix...available on MinecraftEdu World Library. Only one group "got" the idea. #minecrafted

MRAROOM12 May 31 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1: IMO- S: Ss spend a lot of time slashing!; A: Don't know?; C: Value if no objective stated at beginning? #minecrafted

MrJason_Jackson May 31 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Ss neglect goal - awesome observation! #minecrafted https://t.co/btBlVa2vr9

I find that I have to spend a lot of energy trying to keep them doing what they're supposed to be doing. #minecrafted

MrGalb May 31 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1: Gotta agree with @irvspanish griefing is the biggest downfall in my class #minecrafted

Mr_Ullman May 31 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Everyone else "lone wolfed" it...#minecrafted

tisinaction May 31 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@MGrundel Not sure. I don't have experience. I would use a teaching strategy that says set time and once time is up, it's up #minecrafted

waginski May 31 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1 Best aspects of survival, kids (particularly younger) get really excited about all of the mobs = fun! #MinecraftEd

johnmillerEDU May 31 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@Mr_Ullman Yep, that’s a difficult one without a lot of prep upfront I discovered. I needed to set milestones. #MinecraftED

ghoward414 - Moderator May 31 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1: Creative=Can destroy blocks easily w/ punch, Survival=No save points besides beds & Adventure=No breaking/building blocks #MinecraftEd

tisinaction May 31 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@PBJellyGames @MGrundel Possibly. But certain students will still find a way around that and take forever. No easy answer #minecrafted

MarkC_Author May 31 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@MrGalb @irvspanish #minecrafted we use an antigriefing plugin on our spigot server, eliminates griefing, but only works on spigot

MrJason_Jackson May 31 @ 8:17 PM EDT

At least they want to create at times #minecraftED https://t.co/AQFE09zDK3

Paulamichele84 May 31 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1. @Mr_Ullman Often my Ss rush through the content so they can do their own thing. #MinecraftED

MGrundel - Moderator May 31 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@tisinaction I think that a time constraint is a fabulous constraint and limiter. Any other ways we can limit student builds? #MinecraftED

waginski May 31 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A1 Worst aspect of survival = kids can get frustrated if continually dropping/dying when building in tricky areas. #MinecraftEd

_Saul_Garza May 31 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A1: my largest qualm with creative is the lack of constraints, if you dont work with commands. constraints incubate innovation. #MinecraftED

pickleberry1234 May 31 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A1~ #minecrafted Creative~Ss may go off topic and build whatever they want.Adventure~ set rules make Ss not as creative.Survival~CREEPERS!

Mr_Ullman May 31 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@MGrundel @tisinaction @MinecraftEdu has build allow and build disallow blocks as well as border blocks that Ss can't pass #minecrafted

PBJellyGames - Moderator May 31 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Yess! #minecrafted Kids will focus if there's a good reason to. FUN, Engagement. Guided Developed Quests work. https://t.co/Qsmch94cSv

@Mr_Ullman Yep, that’s a difficult one without a lot of prep upfront I discovered. I needed to set milestones. #MinecraftED

Number 1 rule on the @4HCreepers server is no griefs get! #MinecraftEd :-) https://t.co/2Xhx2LNSeC

PBJellyGames - Moderator May 31 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@waginski I might be working with an interesting Research project on Kid Response to Griefing soon. :D

tisinaction May 31 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@MGrundel Not sure. I'll be able to give a better answer to this after my workshop :) #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator May 31 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@waginski Could that be a good thing? Is it better to let kids die and lose inventory, or to change the game rule? #MinecraftED

_Saul_Garza May 31 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Q2: How can we use (or have you used) these aspects to our advantage? #MinecraftED https://t.co/uwrurmCpLu

Artguy76 May 31 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A1: I would really like to start using it the classroom for next year. Not sure of aspects yet #MinecraftED

johnmillerEDU May 31 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@waginski I use that excitement to get Ss working as a team. "Team up to destroy the onslaught!" #MinecraftED

Mr_Ullman May 31 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2 Survival should have Ss banding together, but OMG does it take a lot of time for them to get the idea. #minecrafted

waginski May 31 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Could be good thing, depending on level of frustration. I change game rule on request. #MinecraftEd https://t.co/wtAek575V7

tisinaction May 31 @ 8:21 PM EDT

_Saul_Garza May 31 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@Mr_Ullman I find that "spawn towns" usually enforce a sense of community within the world rather quickly. #minecrafted

MrGalb May 31 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@irvspanish @PBJellyGames I've found that my Gd 4's need creative for NPC builds. Not enough time for setup with mobs #minecrafted

MarkC_Author May 31 @ 8:22 PM EDT

#minecrafted would be interesting to do time lapse build video, would force Ss to work together to make the vid look cool. then edit vid.

Goodson May 31 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2 survival mode in a simulation of three Neolithic tribes. Hunger forces them to learn agriculture when you turn off animals #MinecraftED

Artguy76 May 31 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@MGrundel #minecraftED limit only certain materials to be used. (Mossy stone, sand, brick)

I’m gonna have to go, unfortunately. Thanks for the chat, will catch up later! #MinecraftEd 🤓👌🏻=]

MGrundel - Moderator May 31 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: When I have Ss work at a level of Frustration & Productively Struggle through a challenging situation, I have done my job #MinecraftED

irvspanish May 31 @ 8:23 PM EDT

I've found that if Ss are fighting a common enemy...like an #NPC #chupacabra they are less likely to #grief each other #MinecraftEd

Mr_Ullman May 31 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri 1 reason is big spread in ability levels. Need lots of time for advanced crafters to slow it down for newbies. #minecrafted

MRAROOM12 May 31 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2: Group building skills for Adventure & Survival! Creative: Time limits/constraints improves #curiosity #minecrafted

Mr_Ullman May 31 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri Also, collaboration is not simply not something they're used to, minecraft or not. #minecrafted

@irvspanish this is a really great point, but why a Chupacabra? *Raises eyebrow* #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator May 31 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@irvspanish Can you make me a #chewbaccacabre three blocks tall? #MinecraftED

irvspanish May 31 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@_Saul_Garza Porque es una leyenda latina :) (because its a latin legend) and we discuss it in class right @ConnorKropp #minecrafted

MarkC_Author May 31 @ 8:26 PM EDT

#Minecrafted wasn’t #Chewbaccacabre in Star Wars? :-)

Paulamichele84 May 31 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@Mr_Ullman @itsmeSpiri My Ss tend group naturally by ability. When youngers need help they ask but tend to bld in skill grps #minecrafted

johnmillerEDU May 31 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A2: Ss built an impressive compound to keep out mobs, so I spawned multi on all sides for ult test. Their design held #proud #MinecraftED

MGrundel - Moderator May 31 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@Mr_Ullman @itsmeSpiri But doesn’t this force others to rise to the challenge? Also offers more advanced Ss chance to teach. #MinecraftED

irvspanish May 31 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Chupacabra > Chewbacca imo #minecrafted

ghoward414 - Moderator May 31 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A2: Closely monitor Ss in case of wreckage in Creative, allowing fun/enjoyable games in Adventure, & band together in Survival #MinecraftEd

Paulamichele84 May 31 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@MGrundel @Mr_Ullman @itsmeSpiri YES #minecrafted

_Saul_Garza May 31 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@Paulamichele84 @Mr_Ullman @itsmeSpiri Have you tried up that hierarchy? if so, what was the result? #minecrafted

PBJellyGames - Moderator May 31 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@irvspanish I'll be teaching some Startup Students a Leadership Workshop this fall again, so I'll be using this then. #minecrafted

MarkC_Author May 31 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@MGrundel @Mr_Ullman @itsmeSpiri #minecrafted maybe a paired building contest pairing advanced Ss with younger Ss. Advanced only advises

MRAROOM12 May 31 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@irvspanish Leyenda? No, porque la he visto una en sur de Baja California! Verdad! #minecraftED

irvspanish May 31 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@MRAROOM12 Mí mamá siempre nos cuenta que si nos portábamos mal...pues el chupacabra no le gusta los niños malos muhahaha #minecrafted

Mr_Ullman May 31 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@Paulamichele84 @_Saul_Garza @itsmeSpiri Interesting...with me, social groups trump skill level. Friends craft together. #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator May 31 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@irvspanish I’m in NJ and we are big fans of the #NJDevil. Who would win, Chupacabra or NJDevil? #MinecraftED

A3: I've used both game modes and I have to say that they serve different purposes in my lessons..but I ultimately choose which is best

MarkC_Author May 31 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@_Saul_Garza #Minecrafted likely depends on the goal of the lesson???

@MarkC_Author how would you go about figuring out what mode to use based on the lesson plan and standards? #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator May 31 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@Paulamichele84 Is it always appropriate for the Students to pick the mode? #MinecraftED

Paulamichele84 May 31 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@tisinaction Respectfully, I feel that negates the purpose of their learning in MC #MinecraftED

Mr_Ullman May 31 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3 In the early going, has to be teacher, to establish diff bet. Minecraft @ home and @ school. Later on, could be both. #minecrafted

GeekMomAndSon May 31 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Fantastic =) #minecraft ~ #minecraftED to be #minecraftedu starting June 28th for #edchats

@tisinaction Do we ever allow the students to chose the game mode? Or at least give them access to cheats? #MinecraftED

Paulamichele84 May 31 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@MGrundel My Ss always pick the mode #minecraftED

@ghoward414 Love this, and coming from a Student! How should #Stuvoice be heard? Debate style? #MinecraftED

_Saul_Garza May 31 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A3: I believe it is largely the teacher's responsibility, however student input should never be disqualified. #minecrafted

Q3: Whose role is it to pick the game mode when playing Minecraft for educational purposes? Why? #Minecrafted https://t.co/Ls1N9IAYCa

johnmillerEDU May 31 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A3.1 Most of my lessons use more than one mode. I like to shift often. #MinecraftED

MGrundel - Moderator May 31 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@Paulamichele84 How does that work? is it successful? Do you have a balance of Survival and Creative, or is it one sided? #MinecraftED

tisinaction May 31 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@MGrundel Sure there would be times, especially if the students are to be key decision makers in the game. But not always #minecrafted

Paulamichele84 May 31 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@MGrundel @ghoward414 Ss shouldn't have to debate for their voice to be heard. #Studentdirectedlearning #MinecraftED

MGrundel - Moderator May 31 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@johnmillerEDU Can you provide a brief example in 140 characters or less? #MinecraftED

A3 Depends on #learning objective - Ts need to set based on desired outcome #minecraftED Keeps everyone in the game

PBJellyGames - Moderator May 31 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A3 #minecrafted Ts must consider all elements in choosing the Mode! Ss Engagement, Likes, and Objectively What's best 4 teaching subject

_Saul_Garza May 31 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@Paulamichele84 @MGrundel has this backfired at all? or is this a pretty solid system? any tips of how to handle this freedom? #MinecraftED

Paulamichele84 May 31 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@MGrundel It works beautifully; Ss need to direct their own learning. There's a mix of modes. #MinecraftED

PBJellyGames - Moderator May 31 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Wholeheartedly agree! The objective and best pedagogical practice should be at the heart of decision. #minecrafted https://t.co/NWOkg5pHDA

ConnorKropp May 31 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@irvspanish Absolutely! Some modes are definitely better for certain activities. I find it is most helpful to teach in creative first

MRAROOM12 May 31 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A3: It is the purpose of the map that ultimately selects the game mode for us...Ss or Ts as long as the mode supports learning. #minecrafted
