MGrundel - Moderator Apr 26 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri Awesome, what are some of your initial plans? #MinecraftED

tisinaction Apr 26 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2 Continued: Can be used as an oral device for students to explain thinking processes #minecrafted

AnIowaTeacher Apr 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Oops! Darin, currently a 6th/8th grade RLA teacher from Iowa, just hanging out with the cool kids at #MineCraftEd! :)

Ms_Greaves Apr 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@BBTNB exactly my experience. Kids had to do a speech as to why they could be team leaders in game - some shy ones stepped up. #MineCraftEd

MGrundel - Moderator Apr 26 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Backwards design. In math, ask how many MC blocks needed to build school, types of blocks, ratio of blocks, IE Stone v Brick #MinecraftED

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Apr 26 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A2) Ss constructed cities/communities using Geometricity Interesting to see their plan, ideas & how they problem solve #minecrafted

tisinaction Apr 26 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@GeekMomAndSon I love the Block City book for inspiration. Have you seen that one? #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator Apr 26 @ 8:49 PM EDT
