Put the border blocks high above the clouds so they don't destroy the beauty of the landscape. They work just as well. #minecraftED #NBED

#minecrafted I wonder if elem kids you do restone and com. blocks. Early ages are best for learning language? maybe restore too?

MGrundel - Moderator Mar 1 @ 8:14 PM EST

@BBTNB Thats Malcolm Gladwell. Yes we need to get Ss on comps and building early #MinecraftED

Silvergirl108 Mar 1 @ 8:15 PM EST

@BBTNB #minecrafted I say let them destroy the landscape than talk about the changes. IE Ecological impact :D

nickpatsianas Mar 1 @ 8:15 PM EST
