iLearningUK Sep 13 @ 3:45 PM EDT

@MGrundel Great resources. Still aimed at k12 though yes? Pleased to see how it has real world application though. #MinecraftEDU

PBJellyGames - Moderator Sep 13 @ 3:45 PM EDT

@kallespopkonst A1) I know that mixing 8 year olds with 12/13/14 year olds can be tricky… #MinecraftEDU

KitTerPillar Sep 13 @ 3:51 PM EDT

A2: Perception that it's "just another video game" #MinecraftEDU

aforgrave Sep 13 @ 3:51 PM EDT

.@iLearningUK Here’s a great article that might give you a sense of #MinecraftEDU application/influence outside K12 https://t.co/icIpJy0ATU

tisinaction Sep 13 @ 3:52 PM EDT

A2: Design of the game makes it seem childish. Lack of resources for upper levels #minecraftedu

kallespopkonst Sep 13 @ 3:52 PM EDT

@iLearningUK #minecraftedu true, but they judged her of what she contributed with and not of her age. And ofc, helps with teachers kid

Calum_Corlyon Sep 13 @ 3:52 PM EDT

A2) I think most teachers would use it' if they knew about it and could see it working. #minecraftedu

captainXav Sep 13 @ 3:52 PM EDT

A2 " all this spinning around is making me sick" #MinecraftEdu

iLearningUK Sep 13 @ 3:52 PM EDT

@ninabrighton I know. One of the reasons I was hoping to connect with others here. #MinecraftEDU

irvspanish Sep 13 @ 3:53 PM EDT

A2: Their limited knowledge of the game...the fear that they are being judged by Parents, other Ts and community. #MinecraftEdu

TobyFoote Sep 13 @ 3:53 PM EDT

A2 lack of tech skills #minecraftedu

iLearningUK Sep 13 @ 3:53 PM EDT

Good point and not the first time I have heard that! #minecraftedu Toggle View bobbing helps? https://t.co/K0kaq7yM0c

captainXav Sep 13 @ 3:52 PM EDT

A2 " all this spinning around is making me sick" #MinecraftEdu

kallespopkonst Sep 13 @ 3:54 PM EDT

A2 teachers believe it's to childish, don't want to sink that low as to the #minecraftedu level :P = just afraid of test something new

katjaborregaard Sep 13 @ 3:54 PM EDT

A2: It's holding teachers back if they don't know how to play... It's hard to let go of control and let the Ss be the experts. #minecraftedu

iLearningUK Sep 13 @ 3:54 PM EDT

@TobyFoote A2 What tech skills in particular. Interested what the perception is. #minecraftedu

PBJellyGames - Moderator Sep 13 @ 3:54 PM EDT

A2 #minecraftedu I believe the biggest resistance comes from it being seen as "MUCH different from how I teach now." It's really not!

MGrundel - Moderator Sep 13 @ 3:54 PM EDT

A2: The stygma that it is a game. Also, the learning curve and fear of releasing control to Ss at the higher level. #minecraftedu

iLearningUK Sep 13 @ 3:55 PM EDT

@Calum_Corlyon More published research would be good in this respect. Getting the message out that #GBL is serious. #MinecraftEDU

BBTNB Sep 13 @ 3:55 PM EDT

A2- Install rights, lack of funding, poor class management, lack of devices or access, focussing on risk over reward... & more #MinecraftEDU

aforgrave Sep 13 @ 3:55 PM EDT

A2: Educators at ANY level will only use #MinecraftEDU when they understand it sufficiently to see learning potential with their students.

kallespopkonst Sep 13 @ 3:56 PM EDT

teachers are afraid of losing the classroom control + go out of their own comfort zone #minecraftedu

TobyFoote Sep 13 @ 3:56 PM EDT

@iLearningUK many teachers don't know what it takes to create a Minecraft environment. #minecraftedu

katjaborregaard Sep 13 @ 3:56 PM EDT

A2: for beyond K12 it's probably also the fact that #minecraftedu is not serious enough 🙄 Even K12 teachers feel that way. If only they knew

BBTNB Sep 13 @ 3:56 PM EDT

Baylor University in Texas built by students in #MinecraftEDU https://t.co/WMw1oEYJPu

MGrundel - Moderator Sep 13 @ 3:57 PM EDT

@aforgrave So how do we reach more educators and get them to understand the game sufficiently as a learning tool for Ss? #minecraftEDU

captainXav Sep 13 @ 3:57 PM EDT

A2 prob teachers don't know how to play. #MinecraftEdu it's ok the kids do!

ninabrighton Sep 13 @ 3:58 PM EDT

@iLearningUK I'm starting an Inclusive Arts course soon and I'd like to build a collaborative Rube Goldberg machine in it #minecraftedu

iLearningUK Sep 13 @ 3:58 PM EDT

@TobyFoote True. It is time consuming initially. But using the #GBL approach puts the creative time in the students hands #MinecraftEDU

aforgrave Sep 13 @ 3:58 PM EDT

@MGrundel They just need to be thirsty. Then you lead them to water, give them three iron ingots, point them at crafting table #MinecraftEDU

kallespopkonst Sep 13 @ 3:59 PM EDT

@BBTNB that one breaks my little school :D #minecraftedu https://t.co/34whcwiKPm

iLearningUK Sep 13 @ 3:59 PM EDT

@kallespopkonst A2. Completely get that. Introducing a blocky computer game in to the classroom does seem difficult. #MinecraftEDU

aforgrave Sep 13 @ 3:59 PM EDT

.@MGrundel If they ain’t thirsty, they won’t go looking for water. #minecraftEDU

iLearningUK Sep 13 @ 4:00 PM EDT

Very good point. Letting go of the control is very hard. #MinecraftEDU https://t.co/uoyOpGnSO9

katjaborregaard Sep 13 @ 3:54 PM EDT

A2: It's holding teachers back if they don't know how to play... It's hard to let go of control and let the Ss be the experts. #minecraftedu

katjaborregaard Sep 13 @ 4:00 PM EDT

@irvspanish I'm an awful builder in #MinecraftEdu... Most of the time I don't build anything - The kids build and they're AWESOME at it!

@iLearningUK I'm not disputing that at all. I want to get #minecraftedu in our camps next summer. I need help getting software to start.

margo_kalyuzhna Sep 13 @ 4:01 PM EDT

A2: children play in Minecraft but in our curriculum #minecraftedu is absent :) So nobody are going to implement it in own subject

iLearningUK Sep 13 @ 4:01 PM EDT

@katjaborregaard A2 What is serious? I know the inference & have heard the argument too. Presented as #GBL makes it easier. #MinecraftEDU

A3 - Finland encourages PLAY for Gr. K-2 & the rest of the world wishes to be a fraction as good as their Education System! #MinecraftEDU

irvspanish Sep 13 @ 4:04 PM EDT

A3: Many Ss are burnt out and can't connect to ed the way it is done in so many Schools. This gives an opportunity to connect #MinecraftEdu

ninabrighton Sep 13 @ 4:04 PM EDT

A2) Time? (to learn themselves, to write it into the teaching plan, to get the facilities/approval to buy/other bureaucracy...)#MinecraftEDU
