    A1: - Regional based events that are well advertised and offer something for both kids and adults to do. Its important for parents to get something out of the experience as well. Finding ways to educate the parents at those events is important. Lead by example. #MinecraftEDU

    A1: When I think of community events, I usually imagine a large crowd of people al there to meet each other and connect, create collaborations and partnerships, essentially getting together to help one another achieve a larger or similar goal. #MinecraftEDU
  • minecraftingdad Jan 9 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A1: Collaboration is an important part of the process. As a parent, we look for ways that our children can do something constructive with something they love. Reward positive play and quality entertainment across multiple platforms. #MinecraftEDU
  • learning_lit Jan 9 @ 8:19 PM EST

    A2: I'd want to see map builders. Selfishly because I want to get them to make me maps to use in #MinecraftEDU, but I also like to see the creative stories and world designs they come up with and how they do it.
  • MrMillerReads Jan 9 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A2: game developers and authors! #MinecraftEDU
  • Golden_Ninja50 Jan 9 @ 8:22 PM EST
    Q2: Minecraft artists. The ones that make thumbnails, profile pix & banners for minecraft youtube sites. There are some really young artists out there. I'm trying to contact one now but he is so busy makin art for these ytrs. @Diyus2 #MinecraftEDU

    A2: Speaking as a content creator. I think interactivity Minecraft Streamers on Mixer and maybe quality/family oriented entertainment options on Twitch would be good for meet and greets. #minecraftEDU
  • AlwaysAidanYT Jan 9 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A2: There are quite a few content creators who mainly use Twitch and Mixer, both livestreaming platforms. I think it would be great to see some of them, asking the community who their favorites are! #MinecraftEDU

  • MgHelio Jan 9 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A2 Educational lesson planners. It would be great just to have a teacher stage where creative, innovative teachers just got on stage for 10 to 30 minutes to explain/demo their favorite lesson or two. #MinecraftEdu

      Q2: Aside from YouTubers, what other types of content creators would you be interested in meeting? #MinecraftEDU

    A2 - Maybe the chance to be on a live stream for kids. Using @WatchMixer and make them feel like TV stars or Youtubers. "Guest side-kick" etc... If you can make kids feel like celebs for a moment that is a huge win for @minefaire @Minecraft and #MinecraftEDU
  • MCKidsAcademy Jan 9 @ 8:25 PM EST
    We need to look at those streamers who are working with PE edition (now Bedrock). They are the shiny new. Kids know them! #MinecraftEDU

    I don’t know, that’s more of an individual thing. However, spotlight or not, you can’t demand something from them and call them “terrible” while also waiting for them to drop that new update. It’s like talking down a Fast Food worker (1/2) #MinecraftEDU

    In reply to @mr_isaacs
  • MCKidsAcademy Jan 9 @ 8:33 PM EST
    A3: Well, not to sound too terrible here, but parents need respite from it all, and later a seat at the table to discuss limits and such. Or at-least, understand that they are not monsters for creating limits! #MinecraftEDU
  • minecraftingdad Jan 9 @ 8:33 PM EST
    A3: More online events, training sessions, discussions. Finding ways to expand the realm of possibilities. Change parents minds who believe Minecraft is a waste of time. Provide parent education and tools. #MinecraftEDU
  • MgHelio Jan 9 @ 8:33 PM EST
    A3 Therein lies the major question. I'm not positive, but at this moment, I'm thinking real educators sharing real experience with real students to help and walk around showing off what they've learned and helping everyone. #MinecraftEDU

    A4: As young as @leilaboo215 is, she does quite a lot for the Minefaire event. I think many kids look up to her as a role model for them, as well as the Rising Stars, showing them that they too can get involved and make an impact with Minecraft in the community. #MinecraftEDU
  • MGrundel - Moderator Jan 9 @ 8:43 PM EST
    A4: I find that educators almost ONLY pay attention at conferences and events when sessions or panels are Student Led. Let's include more students in our conversations, like this chat! #MinecraftEDU
  • pfm2001_ Jan 9 @ 8:43 PM EST
    by actually listening to what students have to say, and acting upon it, there might be better grades and overall mental health. i’m guessing some teachers might not be as stressed trying to figure out how to engage their students, too. #MinecraftEDU

    A4: the moving away from teacher-centric school comes slowly but surely, although the standardized testing “renaissance” in the last two decades gummed things up — student voice in a traditional setting is often but a squeak — convert local districts, one by one #MinecraftEDU
