A2) Unstructured to me means taking away the scaffolding does this also take away the learning intentions? #MinecraftEDU

KellyKillorn Nov 22 @ 8:15 PM EST

Unstructured gives Ss more opportunities to try things out, take risks, maybe find out something new didn't know before #MinecraftEDU

A2: Some of my Ss need/demand structure and are anxious w/out it. Others enjoy the freedom/creativity that unstructured allows #MinecraftEDU

wrenasmir Nov 22 @ 8:24 PM EST

A2 So too, the benefits of unstructured learning experiences, we love the existential exploration that comes about living in #MinecraftEDU

A2: Structured may be good for some activities, but unstructured gives our students a chance to dig in and fail w/out fear! #MinecraftEdu

a_minshall Nov 22 @ 8:25 PM EST

A3) Unstructured learning lets the Ss learning juices flow very freely, you never know what they will create #MinecraftEDU

a_minshall Nov 22 @ 8:25 PM EST

A3) Structured can be creative and gives you an outcome at the end of the lesson but maybe not the outcome you had envisaged #MinecraftEDU

KellyKillorn Nov 22 @ 8:25 PM EST

A2: Structured=T-based support. Unstructured=Ss learn content/process thru authentic collab, prob solving, inquiry, failure #MinecraftEDU

Cleverlychangin Nov 22 @ 8:25 PM EST

A.2 The merits of unstructured is it allows students to be creative, develop initiative, and learn how to think on their own. #minecraftedu

wrenasmir Nov 22 @ 8:25 PM EST

A2 Existential exploration = emotional regulation, sense of self, executive functioning skills, confidence, social skills #MinecraftEDU

mr_isaacs Nov 22 @ 8:25 PM EST

structure is a funny term - in my class there is a structure amidst any intentional lack of structure #minecraftedu

In reply to @AnIowaTeacher

lynnetelfer Nov 22 @ 8:25 PM EST

The power comes from Ss creating the structure - Other Ss follow it! win win #MinecraftEDU

MGrundel - Moderator Nov 22 @ 8:25 PM EST

A2: Merits of #MinecraftEDU is that even when it is structured, its still pretty unstructured. Still allows for freedom and exploration.

lucasgillispie Nov 22 @ 8:25 PM EST

A3 - I think both have their place! The flexibility of the tool and its creative application for learning is the real merit! #MinecraftEDU

PBJellyGames - Moderator Nov 22 @ 8:26 PM EST

A2 - I think the unstructured approach causes Ss to ASK more questions of themselves. Deeper critical thinking. #MinecraftEdu

We’re taking this chat out to the garden! We love fusing the natural world with #MinecraftEDU in structured and unstructured play situations
