Children can fail in a game but feel safe that they can fail in a game and try again #MineCraftEd

heidinelt Apr 5 @ 8:15 PM EDT

HikariKishi Apr 5 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1: Ss "Say having a good time working together, learning to rely on one another." #MinecraftED

a_minshall Apr 5 @ 8:15 PM EDT

So Ss want to try and learn from their mistakes and solve a problem within the game #MineCraftEd

MGrundel - Moderator Apr 5 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@EduElfie Can you expand on this, I love this train of thought #MinecraftED

@a_minshall Yes, we talked about “the dip” in class, when things R going well, then start to struggle. Many used MC as example #MinecraftED

EduElfie Apr 5 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@MGrundel #MinecraftED I know how much it has impacted on my teaching 'style' and the students are able to demonstrate learning in diff ways

@mharveytech Yes, and Minecraft can help bridge that home-school connection. Love meeting Ss at their level. #MinecraftED

EduElfie Apr 5 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@PBJellyGames There is value, but there is also some inherent 'danger' in that too #MinecraftED

HikariKishi Apr 5 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Goodson Apr 5 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@HikariKishi @a_minshall exactly! "Failing" is a school concept that feels final. "Iterating" makes it a step in a process. #minecraftED

mharveytech Apr 5 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 Students coming to understand there is a real person behind the avatar. Acting in your own self-interest can affect others. #MinecraftED

coiascience Apr 5 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Q2: It is easy to be a bully in MC but the learning comes from becoming compassionate and collaborative with peers. #MinecraftED

heidinelt Apr 5 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2. Accountability in #minecrafted can help Ss reflect on personal and class learning goals & #DigitalCitizenship in authentic ways

_Saul_Garza Apr 5 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2 Student: also reinforces flexibility and project management, because if something doesnt work they must find ways around it #MinecraftED

AnIowaTeacher Apr 5 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2: School MC is "different" than home MC. Ss should know this, even if they do, it should be explained so all are on board. #minecrafted

Goodson Apr 5 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@duxxfeminafacti I've often noticed shy or awkward students helping more during Minecraft lessons because they are experts. #MinecraftED

DuPriestMath Apr 5 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2: #MinecraftED Accountability has multiple meanings. It can mean there are rules. Games are more fun because constraints make challenges.

minefaire Apr 5 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A1: Value of #minecraft lies in the truth that students are crazy about the game and come in as experts or learn quick! #MineCraftEd

minefaire Apr 5 @ 8:28 PM EDT

_Saul_Garza Apr 5 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@MGrundel Hi! also a very great point, anarchy always leads to a devolution of innovation, plastic regulation causes innovation #MinecraftED

KayGibson01 Apr 5 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3 recently attended an event where we set a ten min challenge. Youngsters teach adults to MC. Great results #MinecraftED

PBJellyGames - Moderator Apr 5 @ 8:29 PM EDT

#MinecraftED A3 - Making time, for me means delegation! Delegating work to Ss gives them ownership, collaboration with others is also key!

  @Catherine_D2013 @minefaire @scratch_boulder Yes, Windows 10 will be a minimum req #MineCraftEd

johnmillerEDU Apr 5 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5 Play is a requirement in my class and games like Minecraft open doors for communication between all. #MinecraftED

a_minshall Apr 5 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@Catherine_D2013 But if it is on a Azzure secure Education server could Ss from all over the world collaborate on one map? #MineCraftEd

EduElfie Apr 5 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@Catherine_D2013 I would not be 100% sure, I dont know anything for sure, but I cannot see MS cutting that many schools out of #MinecraftED

Goodson Apr 5 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A5 you MUST play with them. Just remember you don't have to actually be any good at it! #MinecraftED

HikariKishi Apr 5 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A5: Ss say: Absolutely a 10! It keeps Ss interested, experiences we wouldn't get otherwise! Like us becoming Industry Giants! #MinecraftED

kregpurvis Apr 5 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A5: Teachers playing with students will help them to understand what can be done in a certain time period. #MinecraftED

Catherine_D2013 Apr 5 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@irvspanish @ConnorKropp when was doing comparing decimals I brought in wii & did Olympic events. Ss competed & put in 1,2,3rd #MinecraftED

HikariKishi Apr 5 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A5: To say I play Minecraft is an understatement. I have played hundreds of hours...and it helps me be a better GBL teacher! #MinecraftED

KayGibson01 Apr 5 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@Goodson S's will respect you more if they see you going through the learning process and improve 😄👍#MinecraftEd

Catherine_D2013 Apr 5 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@EduElfie I'm hoping they realize this & give us other options #crossfingers #MinecraftED

Goodson Apr 5 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@Catherine_D2013 @a_minshall @minefaire @scratch_boulder pretty sure I read win10 is a definite because it won't be Java based #MinecraftED

a_minshall Apr 5 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@KayGibson01 @Goodson Ss love to challenge the Ts as well #MineCraftEd

HikariKishi Apr 5 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@Goodson Absolutely! Reading teachers read, writing teachers write, shouldn't GBL teachers PLAY THE GAME? #MinecraftED

MrSt3v3ns Apr 5 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A5 sometimes in Minecraft, the student becomes the teacher, and that's okay w me!! #MinecraftED

@Catherine_D2013 Waiting to hear more from Microsoft. The beta form mentioned Mac OS X El Capitan, too. #MinecraftEd https://t.co/4U7EtsL0mE

Catherine_D2013 Apr 5 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@minefaire @scratch_boulder my concern is I heard will need windows 10 to run #Minecrafted

A5: I rate using minecraft in the class as a 10. I Have played for years so it was cool to have it implemented in Spanish! #minecrafted

EduElfie Apr 5 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@Goodson @Catherine_D2013 @a_minshall @minefaire @scratch_boulder it is written in C, many pre-win10 programs are #MinecraftEd

KayGibson01 Apr 5 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@a_minshall @Goodson the trick is to rise to the challenge and do your homework too 😂👍 #MinecraftED

Goodson Apr 5 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@a_minshall @KayGibson01 yes. When I'm co-teaching Minecraft lessons I make the teacher "drive" as much as I can. #MinecraftED

AnIowaTeacher Apr 5 @ 8:59 PM EDT

All this talk of play means I have to get a lunch or after school club set for the 4th quarter! :) #MinecraftED

MGrundel - Moderator Apr 5 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@AnIowaTeacher No time like the present to play! #MinecraftED

EduElfie Apr 5 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@AnIowaTeacher or play at home yourself first :D #MinecraftED

KayGibson01 Apr 5 @ 9:00 PM EDT

@Catherine_D2013 @dannymaas @Goodson @a_minshall @minefaire @scratch_boulder not Jarva, it's c++ so Ipad friendly #MinecraftED

HikariKishi Apr 5 @ 9:00 PM EDT

@KayGibson01 @Goodson I love this comment! We ask the Ss to take risks, learn new things and then not do it yourself? #MinecraftED

irvspanish Apr 5 @ 9:00 PM EDT

My 8 year old son taught me how to use #NPC mods in #MinecraftEd Learning from Ss is amazing!!

AnIowaTeacher Apr 5 @ 9:00 PM EDT

@EduElfie Been playing at home on the "vanilla" version! :) Need to figure out how to connect w/ my other players in school! #minecrafted

@AnIowaTeacher talk to your local library too. Ours hosts teen Minecraft nights, and I'd like to see those expanded for the younger ones

EduElfie Apr 5 @ 9:01 PM EDT

@scratch_boulder totally agree, but it is not all doom and gloom, the team at MS are listening to community. #MinecraftED

HikariKishi Apr 5 @ 9:01 PM EDT

@AnIowaTeacher Do it Darin! You will not regret it! #MinecraftED

PBJellyGames - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:02 PM EDT

#MinecraftED A5 - Playing the game Aligns u with students. Think how kids react when they see MC, now think when they hear you play it.

@EduElfie @scratch_boulder Office 365 accounts, higher required specs, Win10, and above all, the abominably high price. #MinecraftED
