First Class
Before the first class we had planned to
run we encountered numerous challenges before it began. These included,
- We had been unable to roll out the image with Minecraft across the whole lab
- We had a misunderstanding of MinecraftEDU’s payment terms and conditions. As a result the licenses had not yet arrived
- A crucial member of our team called in sick the morning of the day of the class
As a result of the Students “avalanche of
enthusiasm” for the project we decided that the class needed to go ahead,
though with significant revision.
The alternate plan for the class was
designed to,
- capture the students enthusiasm
- get an understanding of the students skill level and comprehension of the world itself
- find out what THEY would like to do in minecraft,
- Individually
- In small teams
- In large teams
- Explore what the students loved about Minecraft
- Find out, if they had a totally free choice, what would be something AWESOME to do in Minecraft.
At a stage in the class we will loosely discuss
the bigger picture goals for the grade 3 project
They will also form pairs, select something
of interest and then demonstrate it to the rest of the group including us. We
will explain to the students that they should not assume that others know
anything about minecraft.
