Good evening! I’m Simon, Instructional Technology Coach from Lincolnshire, IL. 1st #minecrafted chat! Multitasking at our board meeting ;-)

Catherine_D2013 Feb 16 @ 8:12 PM EST

Pros of starting as club is can be more open ended, not challenged to link to curriculum. #MinecraftEd

heidinelt Feb 16 @ 8:12 PM EST

@StephGriff1 Hey friend! I think we've found the right place for that:) #minecrafted

gradyryan1 Feb 16 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: We started using minecraft as part of the media center maker space. Has worked great so far, next expand to classrooms #MinecraftEd

mr_isaacs Feb 16 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: Pro - easy point of entry to test waters, get admin buy in #MineCraftEd

Silvergirl108 Feb 16 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1 we have 26 dedicated Minecraft desktops in our before school Library Commons time. We cud use 20 more! No official club. #MinecraftEd

MGrundel - Moderator Feb 16 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: Pros of a Club, small intimate group of Ss, risk free, empowers Ss to be experts and help guide curriculum. #MinecraftED

mr_isaacs Feb 16 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: some may say a potential con would be that it would be pure gameplay, but not sure that is a con... #MineCraftEd

A1. #Minecraftedu as an activity is allowing me to learn about the teacher menus and best practice #minecrafted

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Feb 16 @ 8:14 PM EST

A1) Pro: opens door to programming Con: Admin lack of interest #minecrafted

irvspanish Feb 16 @ 8:14 PM EST

A1: PROS-- I could see the ability to troubleshoot tech issues, build up hype and excitement, being able to just “play” #MinecraftEd

MGrundel - Moderator Feb 16 @ 8:14 PM EST

@mr_isaacs I have a Ss writing an essay on importance of game play, learning skills like #growthmindset problem solving, #MinecraftED

BBTNB Feb 16 @ 8:14 PM EST

A1 - in a #Minecraft club you get a great sampling of mixed ages. In a club you may not get the ideal ratio of boys and girls. #MinecraftEd

StephGriff1 Feb 16 @ 8:14 PM EST

@gradyryan1 what kind of activities do you do w/MineCraft in ur MakerSpace? #minecrafted

MathCraftPLC Feb 16 @ 8:14 PM EST

#MinecraftEd Pro's Save gives you a place to practice and experiment cons classes are often of mixed ages

MrGalb Feb 16 @ 8:14 PM EST

MarkC_Author Feb 16 @ 8:15 PM EST

#MinecraftED the challenge with smaller, lowtech schools is they don't know what questions to ask about setup, can seem daunting

#minecrafted I made this @sway about using MC in the classroom "I Minecraft, You Should Too" | https://t.co/kesurVMVUd

heidinelt Feb 16 @ 8:15 PM EST

A1.2 Cons as a club #minecrafted could be compartmentalized or labeled as a "club" thing not class tool

vasey103 Feb 16 @ 8:15 PM EST

A1 Is T. buy-in a problem? have a lot of work to do selling the idea. Starting with after school club - classroom will follow #minecrafted

_Saul_Garza Feb 16 @ 8:15 PM EST

A1: cons : students irresponsibly using the software at first, which a pro to that would be the chance to build a culture of #MinecraftEd

MGrundel - Moderator Feb 16 @ 8:16 PM EST

@MarkC_Author One Solution may be Bring Your Own Device, allow Ss to work collar on own devices #MinecraftEd

MarkC_Author Feb 16 @ 8:16 PM EST

#MinecraftED can plugins be used with MinecraftEDU? Just added an economy to my public server...kids are doing cool stuff with it

MRAROOM12 Feb 16 @ 8:16 PM EST

A1:Pros-Brings Ss 2gether, cre8s friendships & learning. Cons-Sometimes groups can limit Ss' cre8ivity if outcomes r limiting #MineCraftED

techteacherhays Feb 16 @ 8:16 PM EST

A1: pro, gain confidence, help get admin buy-in #minecraftED

irvspanish Feb 16 @ 8:16 PM EST

@MarkC_Author Yes lots of mods like #NPC work great #MinecraftEd

Catherine_D2013 Feb 16 @ 8:16 PM EST

Cons is other teachers/admin won't take as seriously will see as an after school extra curricular thing #minecrafted

_Saul_Garza Feb 16 @ 8:16 PM EST

how could we work around that issue? how could you make the extra step in pushing into class? #MinecraftEd https://t.co/tSek5eJY4G

heidinelt Feb 16 @ 8:15 PM EST

A1.2 Cons as a club #minecrafted could be compartmentalized or labeled as a "club" thing not class tool

We set up mathcraft after school clubs so teachers can learn how to use the tool in a classroom setting #MinecraftEd

MGrundel - Moderator Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

A1: Cont. Con - only a small group of Ss, how to decide who gets selected for club? #MinecraftED

McGough3R Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

Hello everyone! Love bringing gaming into learning. Thanks for hosting this chat. #minecrafted

Silvergirl108 Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

A1 con has been some Ss talk on the way to class has created neg impression that MC is about destroying rather than building. #MinecraftEd

AnIowaTeacher Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

A1: Pros - no standards to reach, grabs a wide swath of Sdt body, encourages problem solving/collaboration outside of class. #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

@MathCraftPLC Are students and teachers learning side by side? #MinecraftED Do you have a resource about this to share?

PBJellyGames - Moderator Feb 16 @ 8:17 PM EST

#Minecrafted A1 - PRO - Students get to acclimatize themselves to educational expectations in a comfortable setting. Class=Learn club=play

PBJellyGames - Moderator Feb 16 @ 8:18 PM EST

#MinecraftEd Q2 is coming soon, get your resources ready to share. :D

heidinelt Feb 16 @ 8:18 PM EST

The kids are doing that for me by asking for Ts to use it & are becoming leaders for how to use it #minecrafted https://t.co/YymdZKFgdE

@_Saul_Garza @heidinelt this week I'm running a staff PD. Once other Ts see possibilities it's a much easier convo #minecrafted

lamoureuxr Feb 16 @ 8:18 PM EST

#MinecraftED Con might be lack of connection to standards. Another that kids r really involved in after school activities so attendace low

McGough3R Feb 16 @ 8:18 PM EST

A1:Pro...Ss have a chance to create authentic digital artifacts. Con...Ss create surface structure without much thought. #minecrafted

_Saul_Garza Feb 16 @ 8:19 PM EST

A1: Pro: Challenge the educational status quo and distrupt education for the better! #MinecraftEd #innovation

AnIowaTeacher Feb 16 @ 8:19 PM EST

A1: Cons (from wife & daughter watching): more screen time, not always inclusive #MinecraftEd

PBJellyGames - Moderator Feb 16 @ 8:19 PM EST

You are correct. Some Ss can share their worlds with their classmates. #minecrafted https://t.co/V6xpxtGVUb

McGough3R Feb 16 @ 8:21 PM EST

ghoward414 - Moderator Feb 16 @ 8:21 PM EST

@lobiancg Absolutely, as both a game and a way to express one's creativity in a project. #MinecraftEd

mr_isaacs Feb 16 @ 8:21 PM EST

A2: students should be able to continue to build community started in class at home = con of in class only #MineCraftEd
