Technical Implementation Plan Doveton Live Minecraft Pilot Program.
It is our intention to initially build our own Minecraft Server on a purpose built Mac G4 LAN.
Student accounts have been purchased through Minecraft.edu.
We have also purchased the Minecraft.edu mod to explore and to use as a guide for our modification.
Initially we have purchased 25 licenses.
We are also purchasing a number of Minecraft licenses for iPad. This will allow small groups of students in Year 1-3 to work on controlled projects.
It is our intention in the future to create a public server for students to access during out of school hour. This will occur when a suitable moderator policy is developed.
We are also discussing the possibility of using the public server to partner with either one or more schools to create shared and co-operative projects for students to work together.
Due to the technical expertise at Doveton College, Mods, server management and development can increase the value of Minecraft for our specific educational needs.
We are current exploring the use of 3D printers to create 3D model of student work designed on Minecraft.
We are also exploring augmented reality software which allows realtime geo location of models through an iPad app.
