Finding the time is tough. Does anyone have any experience with MC hosted in the cloud? #MinecraftED

Mr_Ullman May 3 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@MGrundel @Mr_Ullman Gonna help you out all along the way bro! #minecrafted

RenaudScott May 3 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@Mr_Ullman #minecrafted Great point that will be discussed in a question tonight. Very important.

MGrundel - Moderator May 3 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@duxxfeminafacti No, my own MC club is limited to a 4 person LAN setup. WHOMP. #MinecraftED

irvspanish May 3 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@MGrundel just happened today...so very much on my mind! #MinecraftED

PBJellyGames - Moderator May 3 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1 #minecrafted I think the biggest challenge for us is matching Minecraft to Edu needs in an authentic way that keeps it fun for Ss.

MGrundel - Moderator May 3 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@tisinaction Very Cool, in Makershop I assume you are #3DPrinting, Is this correct? #MinecraftED

duxxfeminafacti May 3 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@MGrundel @irvspanish yes...so much excitement and engagement it's hard to contain! #MinecraftED

PBJellyGames - Moderator May 3 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@fiskeclass Can you clarify what you mean by many Stops #minecrafted

ldouthit May 3 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@irvspanish But I find the transition is easy. They want to do MC, so they adjust quickly. #minecraftED

irvspanish May 3 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@PBJellyGames absolutely! Finding that right fit takes tons of time...as @MGrundel says I need a sabbatical too! #MinecraftED

itsmeSpiri - Moderator May 3 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1) Makes any subject more engaging for Ss, creative outlet, Ss decide, no right/wrong answer, collaboration, critical thinking #minecrafted

LynneTelferMC May 3 @ 8:16 PM EDT

#MinecraftED Taught start of WWI re-enacting on MC. Unexpected deeper learning! Many 'What if scenarios.

irvspanish May 3 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@ldouthit True...but just like any classroom management, they need reminders and at times consequences for in-game decisions #MinecraftED

fiskeclass May 3 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@duxxfeminafacti @MGrundel me too 24 kids at once! Tough, but so powerful! #MinecraftED

MGrundel - Moderator May 3 @ 8:16 PM EDT

fiskeclass May 3 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@PBJellyGames I freeze Ss often to catch teachable moments #MinecraftED

LynneTelferMC May 3 @ 8:17 PM EDT

#MinecraftED The game leads to natural instant consequences. Kids respond well to that.

@LynneTelferMC It's amazing to see any subject spoken abobut passionately when in Minecraft #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator May 3 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@irvspanish What I love about MC is that it creates controversy, like griefing, which allows for teaching points. It’s messy. #minecrafted

HaginPhoto May 3 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A1:Benefit for #Minecraft club: project-based learning outside of strict curriculum constraints #minecrafted

LynneTelferMC May 3 @ 8:19 PM EDT

#MinecraftED imagine kids research each European countries role and having land in the shape of Europe and Britain. Explore allies, treaties

@fiskeclass Awesome! #minecraft has generated a pool of passionate coders since it's humble beginnings :D #minecrafted How is it going?

RenaudScott May 3 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@PBJellyGames @Mr_Ullman @irvspanish #minecrafted definitely some great options that could be connected and harnessed

mr_isaacs May 3 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@GeekMomAndSon howdy! #minecrafted

PBJellyGames - Moderator May 3 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@mr_isaacs Welcome Steven! #minecrafted So glad to see you here! And YES! Ts and Ss as Game Designers is where it's at!

MGrundel - Moderator May 3 @ 8:35 PM EDT

I love the idea of using a redstone combination lock as well. #MinecraftED https://t.co/sR6AGNnukQ

Mr_Ullman May 3 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@irvspanish @RenaudScott I think there's a "key and lock" mod out there that might be helpful for this...#minecrafted

HaginPhoto May 3 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@irvspanish I agree! Survival is the perfect way to "teach" those 21st century skills. #MinecraftED

Mr_Ullman May 3 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@MGrundel something with levers and logic gates? #minecrafted

PBJellyGames - Moderator May 3 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A3 #minecrafted Survival is a brilliant option for teaching sustainability, ecology, economics ect! Creative = Large Builds + Iteration

MGrundel - Moderator May 3 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@Mr_Ullman Yes, a certain combination of up and down levers. #MinecraftED

duxxfeminafacti May 3 @ 8:37 PM EDT

My Ss were discussing creating a maze w/diff types of problem solving like that.#MinecraftED https://t.co/yvUQ8z91N5

Mr_Ullman May 3 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@MGrundel something with levers and logic gates? #minecrafted

itsmeSpiri - Moderator May 3 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@mr_isaacs Do your Ss hesitate to switch modes? Do they have a hard time using other modes than creative? #MinecraftED

MGrundel - Moderator May 3 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@duxxfeminafacti A maze would me AMAZing #MinecraftED

irvspanish May 3 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A3: Used creative here to let Ss make their cities and then we could give directions in Spanish to find items around city #MinecraftED

Mr_Ullman May 3 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri @mr_isaacs Oh man, my kids beg for survival mode. Sometimes I feel a little Lord of the Flies vibe going on...#minecrafted

irvspanish May 3 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A3: Here's the link https://t.co/AwBr00MH3E #MinecraftED

duxxfeminafacti May 3 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@irvspanish #MinecraftED What a great use of communication and MC. I make my Ss write out dialogue too (but it's English).

MGrundel - Moderator May 3 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Q3 cont: Is there a preferred mode for the educational setting? #MinecraftED

PBJellyGames - Moderator May 3 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri @mr_isaacs If you look at the demographics of Minecraft. Far more Survival players than Creative builders. #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator May 3 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Q4: How are the expectations of the game similar/different between the classroom vs. home experience? #MinecraftED https://t.co/RFieUM4o6i

RenaudScott May 3 @ 8:40 PM EDT

#minecrafted A3 my students generally prefer creative when getting new teachers into the game I always start them there

PBJellyGames - Moderator May 3 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Q3 Ctd #minecrafted I am a big proponent of using the GAME to add immersion and fun to content. Ergo I promote survival + adventure most

irvspanish May 3 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@ldouthit Thank you! Actually I have a running document also so that other Ts can edit #MinecraftEd https://t.co/wj7b278Fs2

LynneTelferMC May 3 @ 8:41 PM EDT

#MinecraftED A4 I would say Home vs school - school must be able to measure learning.

RenaudScott May 3 @ 8:41 PM EDT

#Minecrafted thanks everyone for the great conversation tonight, have to cut out early

MGrundel - Moderator May 3 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@RenaudScott Excellent point. Do you think creative mode has more educational value over survival? #MinecraftED

tisinaction May 3 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A4: The game can be anything you want at home but at school, there tends to be some kind of restriction or boundary in place #minecrafted

mr_isaacs May 3 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@Mr_Ullman @itsmeSpiri we have been playing survival in the #minecraft education beta and love the coop in survival #minecrafted

duxxfeminafacti May 3 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4: More collaboration & responsibility are expected for my projects. I guess it depends on the learning goals. #MinecraftED

LynneTelferMC May 3 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4 #MinecraftED KIds do respond well to the restrictions if they are transparent and well considered for the exercise.

duxxfeminafacti May 3 @ 8:43 PM EDT

I agree. Getting kids to help w/rules is also good. #MinecraftED https://t.co/kMcf4LPqo3

MGrundel - Moderator May 3 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Q2: What role do you vs. the students take when using Minecraft in the classroom? #MinecraftED https://t.co/ZNYHBjEsNb

MGrundel - Moderator May 3 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Much like we have Ss establish rules in the classroom, rules should be established in Game #MinecraftED https://t.co/yvbdzYVaDd

tisinaction May 3 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@ldouthit I know Ss who play solo/on server w/ strangers.Classroom makes collab with classmates possible + builds relationships #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator May 3 @ 8:46 PM EDT

When you say restriction/boundary, I’m thinking parameters, whether time/resources and specific purpose #MinecraftED https://t.co/afvMa7vjWi
