    My biggest takeaway was refreshing my memory on the difference between gamification and game-based learning.

    I have a lot of questions about the coding portion of the course, but we'll get there! =)

    1. Minecraft is so applicable to anything we are teaching in the curriculum!

    2. How do you navigate worlds (yes, I'm illiterate :))

    1.  That students can engage and use this for a full lesson and not just a reward.  So many opportunities in all content.

    2.  None at this time.

    Biggest takeaway for me today is the fact that Minecraft can be educational. :)

    No question, I just don't want to get motionsickness playing Minecraft even if I switch the no bobble character to off.

    My biggest take away was how much content delivery can be delivered through MineCraft!

    The question I have is about the steps to set up student accounts. Also, can students/teachers interact in a world together?

    After the first module, I learned the difference between game-based learning and gamification, which is helpful and something I can share with the teachers in my building. I also feel like there is an endless supply of learning opportunities with Minecraft which is great for me as the school's library media specialist/tech teacher. 

    At this time, I don't have any questions, but I look forward to learning more over the next few weeks. :). Thanks!! :)

    My biggest takeaway is all of the opportunities for learning for science and social studies. I have seen how much engagement the students have with minecraft.

    Will we learn how to code, or what is the limit to our learning in this course?

  • Taylor Cotton

    Remembering that we need to establish routines for Minecraft, just like the physical classroom! :)

    I loved the format of this course and the potential for building a community of learners.

    Good refresher of difference between game-based learning and gamification.

    No questions yet - looking forward to next week!

    I'm already feeling more comfortable with using Minecraft with my students thanks to the support of this group!  I teach an elementary STEM program, and the philosophy behind game-based learning is definitely inline with our approach to teaching students.  Still have lots and lots of questions...so much more to learn.

    I was feeling overwhelmed before I started tonight.  I feel better and I love the support through the community and knowing that there are resources already created to use.

    My biggest take-away was using game based learning and gamification to teach students how to learn from failing. I also learned the difference between game based play and gamification!

     

    I don't have any questions at this time!
