Reflection Session 1 and 2


Reflection Session 1 and 2
Our new group of Minecrafters are here. Things are a little different the second time around.

Our new Minecrafters are full of enthusiasm but are not quite as skilled or experienced in Minecraft. We are beginning to rethink the way we approach our training sessions with them. We feel that they will benefit from specific instruction in the use of elements in Minecraft. Eg pressure plates, powers rails. Our aim is to skill them up in the use of Minecraft tools and inventory items and allow them to trial their application in their structures. We need to get them thinking beyond real world mode and start to thinks about the huge scope of imagination that Minecraft will allow them create the “unimaginable”.

They can’t imagine things if they can’t understand their application.  We want them to dream big build big and apply all of the new skills new ways of thinking and creating in Minecraft.  Once we skill them up then we should find that they are able to build and design structures that they can explore with their year 3 students. Also they will be able to teach them their newly acquired skills.
