A3) Big ones right out of the gate are @scratch and @codeorg. So much to choose from! Great one for #tvdsb this year is #MinecraftEDU @PlayCraftLearn! CANNOT WAIT to include MC in our rotation this year! Honourable mention to @Codesters, great for learning #python. #tvdsbtech

A4) Code Builder is now more accessible than ever for #MinecraftEDU, so combining curriculum-driven lessons with @gotynker, among others, will be a good bridge from #hourofcode to everyday learning #tvdsbtech #tvdsbminecraft

A3) We enjoy the https://t.co/Il50pRrkjx Flappy Bird, Minecraft, Star Wars, and Frozen activities, love moving Dash and Cue around our school, and enjoy #Microbits and #Microworlds #CodeToLearn before getting at #MinecraftEDU later in the year.

A6: Today Ss created stained glass in #MinecraftEDU & rather than having them search for pixel art (which was an option), Ss were given the option to create their own stained-glass display. I was blown away by their creativity! I mean, a stained-glass llama?! WHAAAT?!? #ShiftThis
