@FirstAtBat Hello my friend :) Thank you for joining What is programs do you have for G&T students? #MinecraftEd

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Student Q1: What are some reasons Ts may resist incorporating games like MC into units of study? #MinecraftEd https://t.co/olIciGCYIr

MrGalb Jun 7 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: Depends on the school in my district. Some do pull out, some do integrated, and some schools have separate program #minecrafted

BBTNB Jun 7 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1 - My silence & otherwise non-answer speak volumes about our G&T prog. Struggling learners were the focus for decades! #MinecraftED

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@jknipper22 Thank you my friend :) There's always something to learn #MinecraftEd

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Don't forget we have Student and Teacher Questions tonight. If you're a Ts answering the Ss Q's Please answer from a Ss shoes. #Minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@MrRussoRH I find that Behavior does not equal Potential. Many Ss who do not do well in standard classroom excel at #GBL and #MinecraftED

MrRussoRH Jun 7 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: our building does not have an outright G&T program. Ss from all ability levels are encouraged to pursue rigorous courses.#minecrafted

MarkC_Author Jun 7 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: #Minecrafted, In NY state with Regents and Common Core, I don’t know how any teacher has time in curriculum to use MC???

FirstAtBat Jun 7 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri We have a pull out one day a week. Little is shared with the mainstream T and I am not sure of all they do. #MinecraftEd

Noxywoxy Jun 7 @ 8:13 PM EDT

#MinecraftED We get hundreds of apps from young people all the time doing amazing things. Unfortunately we can't hire them!

Artguy76 Jun 7 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Hi all, Matt K-5 Art in TX. #MineCraftED

jknipper22 Jun 7 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1) Accepting the release of "control". Fear that admin will not support as part of the "curriculum" #MinecraftEd

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@MarkC_Author Excellent Point! We must see #MinecraftED as part of the curriculum, not separate or supplemental. #StuVoice = 1st priority

FirstAtBat Jun 7 @ 8:15 PM EDT

SA1: I think sometimes we just don't have enough schema to feel comfortable teaching it. #MineCraftED

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@BBTNB How would Ts accommodate the GT Ss needs? Or wouldn't they? #MinecraftEd

Artguy76 Jun 7 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1: not understanding ways to make it seem connectable to curriculum #MineCraftED

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@BBTNB Yes, this is the analogy with getting the plants up to a certain height, and if they grow taller, great, if not, oh well #minecrafted

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat Various grades in one GT grouping? Or per grade level? #Minecrafted

MrRussoRH Jun 7 @ 8:16 PM EDT

S.A. #1: Connor thinks that Ts may be worried about Ss wanting to "play" more than use MC for learning purposes. Ss distracted!#minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@Artguy76 Welcome Matt! Great to have you. #TeamGrundeler #MinecraftED

lmlougheed Jun 7 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Hi, Lisa here, I teach K-5 Gifted pull-out in GA #MinecraftED

ghoward414 - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Student A1: Ss might use the program for unintended reasons or Ts not being automatically familiar with the subject of games. #MinecraftEd

justinhoward22 Jun 7 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A1: Ts who don’t use tech will struggle with apps & value for the young learner. Mile wide curr and inch deep #minecrafted .@MarkC_Author

Artguy76 Jun 7 @ 8:17 PM EDT

SA1: Ts being afraid of not having all of the answers if Ss get stuck. #MineCraftED

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@Noxywoxy Tell me more...Why cant you? #MinecraftEd

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:17 PM EDT

FirstAtBat Jun 7 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri K-2 group and a 3-5 group. #Minecrafted

OrgChaos_allibu Jun 7 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A1. Fear of technology. Not understanding how to use it for curriculum. #MinecraftEd

BBTNB Jun 7 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Student voice = Engagement = Emotions = Learning that will be retained! #MinecraftED is a spark that gets this ball rolling! @PlayCraftLearn

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:18 PM EDT

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@lmlougheed Welcome Lisa! What is the criteria for determining who is Gifted in your district? #MinecraftED

FirstAtBat Jun 7 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: I try to allow explore and inquiry, and with some knowledge I am sure this could fit in if I knew more about it. #MinecraftEd

rizzapiccio Jun 7 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Good morning #MinecraftEd PLN my first time here! Rizza from Philippines..no idea about it but this is a great time to learn about it

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@jknipper22 #Truth How can we assist in that department? #MinecraftEd

SA1: I think sometimes we just don't have enough schema to feel comfortable teaching it. #MineCraftED

Mr_Ullman Jun 7 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Popping in and out of #minecrafted. Interesting discussion, as MC gives lots of avenues for different ideas of "giftedness"

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@MrRussoRH Yes, this is always a concern, how can incorporating routines/procedures into establishing MC as part of culture? #MinecraftED

cybraryman1 Jun 7 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2 All students including gifted should be put in the role of creating & let's take more advantage of their techspertise #minecrafted

MrRussoRH Jun 7 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2: offering differentiated opportunities to tackle learning at their level with interests and modalities that meet S needs. #minecrafted

justinhoward22 Jun 7 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@OrgChaos_allibu lots of hardware and software that teachers fear. Students don’t feel the tech, it’s part of their lives #minecrafted

Noxywoxy Jun 7 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri Legal age of contract work & enforceability of contracts. One of the most complex things I do on day to day basis #MinecraftED

Catherine_D2013 Jun 7 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@MGrundel lol peanut is running rampant as we speak. I have Ss I consider stronger but they haven't been designated gifted #minecrafted

BBTNB Jun 7 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Encouraging Ss to use whatever resources they can to explore personal interests. Google's 20% time etc. #MinecraftED https://t.co/BsD8gOlcKY

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@BBTNB How would Ts accommodate the GT Ss needs? Or wouldn't they? #MinecraftEd

MrGalb Jun 7 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2: accomms: Ext. projects or emphasis on cross curricular connections... But thats for all SS when they feel ready. Mods help #minecrafted

FirstAtBat Jun 7 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Noxywoxy Jun 7 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri Young people apply all the time. Things they can do incredible. We snatch them up once they hit age of majority. #minecraftED

Catherine_D2013 Jun 7 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@PBJellyGames @FirstAtBat I think for Ts new to MC that's the key. In my school I came up with project ideas & curricular ties #minecrafted

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Absolutely! Giving kids the opportunity to engage with creativity is vital. Ts become facilitators #minecrafted https://t.co/YIvpw2GD8G

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: When working w/ G&T Ss, I try to have them create and solve Qs at highest level questioning, whether Blooms/Costas/DOK #MinecraftED

Catherine_D2013 Jun 7 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@justinhoward22 @MarkC_Author This is the challenge of the #CCSS so many standards = too many skills and content. Go deep. #MinecraftED

lmlougheed Jun 7 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3 I think GT Ss get bored easily. MC can help engage them. #MinecraftED

BBTNB Jun 7 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3 - It's been demonstrated that teaching is the highest form of learning so pairing G&T Ss with rookies in #MinecraftED allows all to grow!

A3: they don't feel challenged & then begin to half way apply themselves. #MineCraftED

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A2: Student - Ss can show the value by sharing work. Ts need to see how proud Ss are of their builds. Ss can suggest projects #MinecraftED

@PBJellyGames why am I not surprised lol #minecrafted But totally agree hands-on learning has worked wonders with many of my challenging Ss

jknipper22 Jun 7 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@schristman118 many Ts view GT as "give them more work". Often busy work. This does not challenge and leads to underachieving. #MinecraftEd

Artguy76 Jun 7 @ 8:35 PM EDT

SA2: simply by making them feel needed. Asking lots of ?'s. I have learned so much from my son playing w/ him. #MineCraftED

mr_isaacs Jun 7 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A3 (pt2): Ss using #minecrafted to demonstrate concepts from their lessons brings learning to their world becuz they do it already.

justinhoward22 Jun 7 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A4: Students can feel comfortable to take risks in an environment where they feel safe. A #minecraft world can help w/this. #minecrafted

  ISTE? Anyone here going to #ISTE2016 in Denver! I'm expecting a big #MinecraftED section at the @Microsoft booth! Anyone?

Buy-in is a struggle for Ss as well as Ts. This is where effective leadership comes to play. #minecrafted https://t.co/H10d8YNjtE

schristman118 Jun 7 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3: Some GT Ss underachieve when they are not challenged or see assignments as a waste of time. #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@BBTNB This young lady has come so far socially/emotionally/academically w/ both classmates and Family. #MinecraftED has given her a voice.

BBTNB Jun 7 @ 8:39 PM EDT

I loved showing my Gr. 10 class the real life size of a #MinecraftED block & Character! One meter squared is huge! Steve is 2 meters tall!

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Q5: How can we encourage GT Ss to persevere & overcome challenges they may face, especially griefing? #MinecraftEd https://t.co/kInkRwOXCj

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@schristman118 YES! Welcome! SO glad you're here my friend :) #MinecraftEd

MrRussoRH Jun 7 @ 8:40 PM EDT

SA3: Connor thinks that stories like Marvel Comics should be in MC. He says that Ss would be more interested in the learning. #minecrafted

jknipper22 Jun 7 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@schristman118 why don't we use that word AUTHENTIC more often in education?? #MinecraftEd

Artguy76 Jun 7 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Thank you #minecrafted for another insightful chat tonight. I have to drop out early & get my son ready traveling w/grandpa

justinhoward22 Jun 7 @ 8:40 PM EDT

SA3: Gotta make that full size version of the Millennium Falcon! #StarWars #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@cybraryman1 Yes! I agree fully. We must put our Ss in the role of creators and producers of content! #MinecraftED

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:41 PM EDT

Student A3: Star Wars because who wouldn't want to build the Battle of Yavin/Hoth/Endor and become a Rebel or Imperial in MC? #MinecraftEd

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@BBTNB @Microsoft Would love to, but its not going to happen for me :-( #notatiste16 #MinecraftED

A3: I have experience as a teacher using #minecrafted so ican only imagine using it for area & perimeter, and arrays @ghoward414

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri @rizzapiccio Have you seen the real life #Minecraft Videos? Little scary, but very physical. #MinecraftED

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Student Q4: How can Minecraft help Ss build responsibility and ownership in their learning? #MinecraftEd https://t.co/XcDQpvFTnF

MrRussoRH Jun 7 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A5: Ts can encourage Ss to persevere by reminding them that S behavior like griefing is not a reflection of them personally. #minecrafted

lmlougheed Jun 7 @ 8:44 PM EDT

#A4 Minecraft can give Ss an outlet to express themselves. It also encourages cooperation. #MinecraftED

mr_isaacs Jun 7 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Yes!!! Love it. #minecrafted @PlayCraftLearn https://t.co/j1IH9jZqVN

Catherine_D2013 Jun 7 @ 8:43 PM EDT

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@schristman118 @ghoward414 Can also have Ss create a world and write the story. Can also have them recreate historical periods #MinecraftEd

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@BBTNB Imagine a 1.8 meter tall monster coming at you, loaded with dynamite! #MinecraftED And how strong is Steve! 64 cubic meters of Gold!

MrGalb Jun 7 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A4: When students have an audience for their build or other Ss will get to try the world they've created #minecrafted

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:48 PM EDT

Q6: How can Minecraft help GT Ss be more self directed in their learning? #MinecraftEd https://t.co/E4q4p783m9

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri @schristman118 @ghoward414 I think writing their own story is more powerful. Have them adventure and write it out #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@OrgChaos_allibu Gotcha! Thank you of the reply, I was unfamiliar with that term. How could #MinecraftED be incorporated into that Model?

schristman118 Jun 7 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A4: Ss def build responsibility, ownership becuz they can go beyond the basics & minimums with more freedom & creativity w/ #minecrafted

rizzapiccio Jun 7 @ 8:49 PM EDT

Thank you #MinecraftEd friends! Sorry to leave early my friend @itsmeSpiri i will surely ask you more about #MinecraftEd

@jknipper22 @schristman118 I feel that sometimes the word “authentic” is thrown around too much as a buzz word. #MinecraftED

PBJellyGames - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@rizzapiccio @itsmeSpiri Well thanks for joining! #minecrafted

ghoward414 - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:50 PM EDT

SA4: What you build in MC is always YOUR responsibility... your house, belongings, everything you've ever done in your world. #MinecraftEd

OrgChaos_allibu Jun 7 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@MGrundel I am curious myself!! I see much potential!! open ended exploring, integrated of subjects.. <3 hearing examples here! #minecrafted

mr_isaacs Jun 7 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@BBTNB @PBJellyGames @isteconnects awesome. Make sure we connect prior #minecrafted

jknipper22 Jun 7 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@MGrundel @schristman118 buzzword that is not understood or appropriately acted upon, in my opinion. #MinecraftEd

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@rizzapiccio Have a wonderful day :) Thank you joining :) #MinecraftEd

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Student Q5: How can Minecraft help students open up their gifts and talents to others? #MinecraftEd https://t.co/PXJqAER1Cg

MrRussoRH Jun 7 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A6:MC allows for Ss to explore,consider what interests them,take as much time as wanted.Allows Ss to take risks,trial and error.#MinecraftEd

MGrundel - Moderator Jun 7 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A6: Many G&T Ss want to be told what to do to get an A. In life, & #MinecraftED There’s no definite/clear goal. Forces Ss to ask & solve Qs.
