aforgrave Jun 28 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A number of folks are proclaiming #MinecraftEDU the “official” #tag for Minecraft in Education — let’s not blur the lines too much.

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@TheOwl3 Awesome! Glad you could make it. Are you planning on moving from clubs into main classroom? #MinecraftEDU

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@PBJellyGames ??? The #MinecraftEDU tag has been around for years — and has a close connection to the @teachergaming version of #Minecraft.

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Q1: Student - How can you encourage teachers to begin using MC in the classroom in 2016-17? #MinecraftEDU https://t.co/SlamSQEvMy

Catherine_D2013 Jun 28 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1 hoping to develop resilience and perseverance in my Ss.Too often they can get frustrated in other things MC helps with this #minecraftEDU

tisinaction Jun 28 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: I hope to better engage students in the learning/creativity. Plus problem-solving skills #minecraftedu

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:12 PM EDT

weisburghm Jun 28 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 building/sandbox and collaboration. Plus a little competition #minecraftedu

tisinaction Jun 28 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2: building and team builds. especially team builds... makershop showed me that #minecraftedu

lobiancg Jun 28 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2 Really excited about Camera and Portfolio in MCEE, hope students can document and reflect on learning process in game #minecraftedu

irvspanish Jun 28 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: Collaboration, competition, quest-based learning #MinecraftEdu

mr_isaacs Jun 28 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: Features that allow for automation are most important for game design like #redstone #commandblocks #coding etc #cs4all #minecraftedu

TheOwl3 Jun 28 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2 #minecraftedu Ss can easily use it with no prior experience. Ss can teach new Ss. All Ss can have success with it at their own level,

Tagge5th Jun 28 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@DuPriestMath Yes! Tools to make a map into an adventure/quest/game #minecraftedu

LezlieVaranini Jun 28 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@DuPriestMath Absolutely! I love this! Provides a commonality for Ss - creates a place struggling & socially awkward Ss excel. #minecraftEDU

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@weisburghm #minecraftedu Oh yeah! Competition is imperative to GBL, Serious Games, and Immersive Games. :D

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@smittysbusiness @EdTechTinker We all start out as level 1 newbs. What’s great about #minecraftedu is we can take so many different paths

irvspanish Jun 28 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@johnmillerEDU Absolutely agree John! NPCs are a game-changer, hoping we'll see them in the new #minecraftedu

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2 #minecraftedu I think the MOST Exciting feature I've seen them implement is the NPCs. There's so much power there for Ts to create quest

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A2: This summer I am making it a point to really learn McEdit to help with world designing. Want to teach to Ss also. #MinecraftEDU

LezlieVaranini Jun 28 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@johnmillerEDU Increases engagement AND builds Ss-Ts relationships! Love that idea! #minecraftEDU

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@irvspanish @johnmillerEDU They're in there as a version, just not fully developed atm. I assume they will dev them more. #minecraftedu

EdTechTinker Jun 28 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A2: Team building & collaboration & letting Ss know Im a learner 2. Also learning how to play in a classroom setting vs @ home #minecraftedu

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@HikariKishi Yes, I cannot wait for Command Blocks in #MinecraftEDU but until then, I have 1.10 and now 0.15 for #BYOD

aforgrave Jun 28 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A2: I’d like to see sophisticated options for the text-component of the #MinecraftEE Journal. Export text/images distinctly. #MinecraftEDU

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@MysterY186 You'll see two schools of thought on that. Some miss the Mods, Build Tools ect, but I think theyll build more in. #minecraftedu

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@MysterY186 That is what we are hear to discuss tonight, the pros and cons of these versions. please join us. #MinecraftEDU

tisinaction Jun 28 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@PBJellyGames @MysterY186 no build tools? Boo... :P #minecraftedu

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:30 PM EDT

#minecraftedu Yes they're quite useful for Ss as well. Didn't mean to exclude. But Ts must use too for guided... https://t.co/hPyM2FYLTj

EdTechTinker Jun 28 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@MGrundel @smittysbusiness somewhat new but I luv playing around w/ it. Hasn't been brought 2 my district but its n the works #minecraftedu

aforgrave Jun 28 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@MysterY186 Have you tried the #MinecraftW10 beta? It works with the latest #MinecraftPE. Convergence is coming … #MinecraftEDU

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@aforgrave Have you played around with the Camera and Portfolio tools in the new Education Edition? #MinecraftEDU

TheOwl3 Jun 28 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3 #minecraftedu I see 650+ Ss for half quarter. Too little time to get it all in.

MsCrawford101 Jun 28 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Blargh my phone is on strike and not loading tweets! #minecraftedu

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@mrzphd @wrenchey @PlayCraftLearn I see a @BronSt there too right? #minecraftedu

Catherine_D2013 Jun 28 @ 8:32 PM EDT

Probably it will be the infrastructure piece - getting the Windows 10 needed to run Ed edition on all my devices #minecraftEDU

sfaywolfe Jun 28 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@johnmillerEDU Excellent. The more teachers starting to use #Minecraftedu the better.

irvspanish Jun 28 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3: I will continue to use #TeacherGaming version until new version catches up/surpasses features We use #MinecraftEdu

weisburghm Jun 28 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3 50 minute periods #minecraftedu

MsCrawford101 Jun 28 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3: convincing admin that it is a worthwhile tool! #minecraftedu

lucasgillispie Jun 28 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3 - Cost and buy-in. #minecraftedu

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@aforgrave Great blog post! Love it especially for beginner Ts! Thanks. #MinecraftEDU

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Leigh, Don't worry, we run the Edchat weekly EdChat so join every Tues 8PM EST there's lots of help #minecraftedu https://t.co/86npyFk8ES

tisinaction Jun 28 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A3: In current district, no windows 10. They just finished updating to Win7 so 10 is not on their minds #minecraftedu

Tagge5th Jun 28 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@MGrundel With you on the Chrome OS. Would really help in getting it in every Ss hands! #minecraftedu

aforgrave Jun 28 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Wait, @irvspanish — when you say #MinecraftEDU do you mean the @teachergaming version of #Minecraft? https://t.co/1tJynrCnAb

Catherine_D2013 Jun 28 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@MsCrawford101 just need to talk about how works on those important problem solving, creative thinking, collaborative skills #minecraftedu

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@irvspanish #minecraftedu Yeah I think a number of people are signing the same dotted line...

aforgrave Jun 28 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@tisinaction Don’t worry, you can use #MinecraftEDU without Windows10. We have been using it for three years now. https://t.co/MUejegnQaz

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:36 PM EDT

What a brilliantly stated point. Kids don't want to stop. :O . Big discussion in Ed anyway, #minecraftedu https://t.co/414yo46tcs

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@irvspanish I think we have 3 communities: Vanilla, Mods (Inc EDU) and now Education Ed. All supporting Ss goals and needs #MinecraftEDU

DuPriestMath Jun 28 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A3: #minecraftEDU Our district will not be moving to Windows 10 next year and I had JUST convinced colleagues to buy it when plug pulled

Catherine_D2013 Jun 28 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@lobiancg you and me both lol #minecraftedu

sfaywolfe Jun 28 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@PBJellyGames @irvspanish @johnmillerEDU I hope so... the potential there is amazing #minecraftedu

@aforgrave The teachergaming one, sure. I have 25 licenses for that + cloud hosting. #minecraftedu

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@weisburghm Many Ts only have 40, but I see having access at home as an advantage. Can do “homework” #MinecraftEDU

EdTechTinker Jun 28 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A3: I think the buy in and letting Ts and Ps see that its more than just a game. Ss have the power to learn & create. #minecraftEDU

mr_isaacs Jun 28 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A3: Biggest challenge in past was having kids find / transport files to work at home. #minecraftedu makes that easier @playcraftlearn

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@TheOwl3 #minecraftedu Congratulations! Have a great time with the family.

DuPriestMath Jun 28 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Yes, same here. We just moved to Win 8. Win 10 not coming this year. No path to MC: Education Edition. #minecraftedu https://t.co/MQsuaI3trD

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:38 PM EDT

Right now Chrome does not support any Minecraft w/out hacks. I have 4 Windows 7 comps and #BYOD #MinecraftEDU https://t.co/Yj6C26OOh2

Catherine_D2013 Jun 28 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@DuPriestMath @tisinaction I think many of us in the same boat. Would like to do Ed edition just not possible right away #Minecraftedu

itsmeSpiri Jun 28 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Hello #minecraftedu friends, tardy to the party, Spiri from London Ontario, Canada joining in

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@aforgrave @tisinaction How can one still get the EDU mod? #MinecraftEDU

tisinaction Jun 28 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@Catherine_D2013 @DuPriestMath Yeah. Of course the easy answer is to get IT to upgrade, but they have enough on their plates #minecraftedu

irvspanish Jun 28 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A3: Cost of $5 per student per year could also pose a problem for many schools and Ss #MinecraftEdu

HikariKishi Jun 28 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A3: It was that I couldn't do it fast enough. Get in the game and try it. #MineCraftEdu

Does @PlayCraftLearn understand the magnitude? Purchases are going to be down until schools update. #minecraftedu https://t.co/5oCaCtboia

aforgrave Jun 28 @ 8:40 PM EDT

.@MGrundel Or maybe 6 communities? #MinecraftPE & #MinecraftPi are two more. Plus, console versions #MinecraftEDU https://t.co/pBDcD7TxS1

Catherine_D2013 Jun 28 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@MGrundel A4 would love access to a world library like we had with Edu #minecraftedu

A4 clones of @BronSt @MatthewFarber@mr_isaacs @PBJellyGames available for all Ts #minecraftedu

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@Catherine_D2013 @Tagge5th That is a rumor, Google needs to unify Chrome OS and Android OS, which will probably happen #MinecraftEDU

MsCrawford101 Jun 28 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A4: online tutorials for teachers! #minecraftedu

aforgrave Jun 28 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Catherine_D2013 Jun 28 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@MGrundel @Tagge5th probably happen sooner than my district running Windows 10 lol #minecraftedu

irvspanish Jun 28 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4: At minimum what we had with MCEDU, share worlds easily, mods, ability to play from home, teacher tools (easy T menu) #MinecraftEdu

EdTechTinker Jun 28 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@MGrundel @mr_isaacs we may go in a direction like that I just basically cleaned house on my campus with old devices #minecraftedu

@aforgrave Intersting, thanks for sharing that, the article hints at uniting maybe in 2016. #MinecraftEDU

A5 - Teachers need a safe place to explore the game, simply learning how to play. Then, ideas to connect to their teaching. #minecraftedu

tisinaction Jun 28 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@irvspanish @Garlicsuter I know the WVDE is starting to build something... but I think mostly to get teachers into it #minecraftedu

mr_isaacs Jun 28 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A5: planning on some #PersonalizedPD around #redstone #commandblocking and of course creating something with @MGrundel #minecraftedu

Garlicsuter Jun 28 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@irvspanish @tisinaction Great! Share your channel? #minecraftedu

Catherine_D2013 Jun 28 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@MGrundel A6 doing some professional reading in MC and just spending time in the new Ed edition world to get a handle on it #minecraftedu

.@PBJellyGames — This was proclaimed earlier today by @SimBadd64 It’s the law. #MinecraftEDU https://t.co/Llns6AnvZN

A5: Take them step by step: Model a lesson, have them play, build a lesson, play, co teach so they feel at ease with SS #minecraftedu

irvspanish Jun 28 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5: Going to #GiE summit in NY hoping to meet up with @mr_isaacs and @haskell for some #PD #MinecraftEdu

tisinaction Jun 28 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@MGrundel Gotcha. Definitely need a community-based one for sure then. Or a wiki or something #minecraftedu

DuPriestMath Jun 28 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A5: #minecraftedu The best PD is playing with a purpose. Give us a task to do in Minecraft.

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@aforgrave @SimBadd64 He was referring to the officially used # for MSofts EE will be #minecraftedu not that it's exclusive. It's community.

mr_isaacs Jun 28 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@irvspanish @haskell You are????? Awesome - I will be there for the speaker dinner and day 1. can't wait! #minecraftedu

tisinaction Jun 28 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A5: Provide variety of resources- books, videos, websites, and more. Hands-on demonstration/training #minecraftedu

lobiancg Jun 28 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A5 Figuring out was to incorporate more #MinecraftEDU projects throughout the school year instead of just at the end of the year.

EdTechTinker Jun 28 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A4: sorry guys meant 4 my A5 was really for Q4 typo. LOL #minecraftedu

@PBJellyGames But do you see how they are co-opting an existing #tag? That’s confusing. #MinecraftEDU @SimBadd64

Catherine_D2013 Jun 28 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@PBJellyGames @aforgrave @SimBadd64 I've always felt the #Minecraftedu community welcoming and inclusive. We all want to help bring MC to Ss

Garlicsuter Jun 28 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@mr_isaacs @irvspanish @minefaire Minefaire or bust! It's great fun being a student and teacher simultaneously. #minecraftedu

TheOwl3 Jun 28 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@Catherine_D2013 @PBJellyGames @aforgrave @SimBadd64 #minecraftedu This is where I learn what to do! Try and check each morning for ideas.

EdTechTinker Jun 28 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A5: it would be really cool if they had a minecraftEDU conference so Ts can see all aspects of creating minecraft lessons #minecraftedu

tisinaction Jun 28 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@EdTechTinker Agree! I would love to see creating lessons in action #minecraftedu

DuPriestMath Jun 28 @ 8:58 PM EDT

#minecraftedu @MGrundel My daughter and I are on a quest to defeat the Ender Dragon - it's taught me a lot about gaming / game design

Garlicsuter Jun 28 @ 8:59 PM EDT

Outro: Mark Suter, HSGame Design and Computer Science teacher from Ohio. Looking forward to @Minefaire #minecraftedu

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@aforgrave @SimBadd64 Because again @MGrundel and I made the decsion that it was best to meet the needs of the community of Ts #minecraftedu

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:59 PM EDT

This is the essence of it and we need to look at it as uniting hashtags to unite communities. #MinecraftEDU https://t.co/1jCP1ZetGF

aforgrave Jun 28 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@mr_isaacs Hi Steven Do you not see how #MinecraftEDU references the previous product? @PBJellyGames @SimBadd64 @playcraftlearn
