A1: #CTMindset means taking Ss through the iterative process: designing, prototyping, testing & learning through trial/error #MinecraftEDU

jpedrech Sep 27 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@mraspinall Yeah, a little. And yet, I feel that my bias is justified. #MinecraftEdu

@GumbyBlockhead @BBTNB I think sequencing matters, but it has to be something more, doesn't it? #MinecraftEdu

SCU006 Sep 27 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@MGrundel #MinecraftEdu it was a brilliant conference where ICT educators showcased and workshopped their talents in 2012. MC #simonastick

mr_isaacs Sep 27 @ 8:15 PM EDT

I will say that the term Computational Thinking raises confusing as computation makes you think math but there are nuances #MinecraftEDU

Mrs_Gozzard Sep 27 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Q1. from the article-Equipped w devices, we use cleverness to tackle problems we would not take on b4 the age of computers #MinecraftEDU

MGrundel - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1: Remember a computer probably makes more mistakes in a min than we make in a lifetime (don’t quote me, but it sounds true) #MinecraftEDU

GumbyBlockhead Sep 27 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@jpedrech @BBTNB I think the “desired outcome” is a key part of it (CAKE, PIE, etc) #MinecraftEDU

Thinking computationally maybe more predictive- then seeing actual result and re-doing #MinecraftEDU

pfm2001_ Sep 27 @ 8:19 PM EDT

To me, computational thinking means thinking logically and efficiently, like a computer. Or thinking like a computer. #MinecraftEDU

Q2: How does #MinecraftEdu support Computational Thinking in kids? https://t.co/PIsRzoLP2G

MGrundel - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@hooperc97 Yes, I agree, what a brilliant way to teach children about anticipated outcomes. Testing can then validate results #MinecraftEDU

mr_isaacs Sep 27 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2: I also have students create step by step @snapguide tutorials to teach others so they are sequencing in that process too #MinecraftEDU

BBTNB Sep 27 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 - #MinecraftEDU has infinite pathways and infinite solutions. Like a computer students can determine the best solution for the problem.

MGrundel - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@pfm2001_ Paola, so glad you made the chat. You always get me riled up! #MinecraftEDU

hooperc97 Sep 27 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@mr_isaacs yep! We've delved into 3D printing #MinecraftEDU

derikthompson Sep 27 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2: Minecraft is built block by block so it slows the thinking process into step by steps as well #MinecraftEDU

mr_isaacs Sep 27 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2: love the stealth learning in terms of computational thinking as kids learn it because it helps them create something COOL! #MinecraftEDU

Mrs_Gozzard Sep 27 @ 8:22 PM EDT
