Exporting world with code
When students export their world and turn in through google classroom, the code does not follow it. Any ideas on how to do this so teacher can score code?

Great question! Teachers definitely need to strategize on ways for students to turn in their coding work. There are many options for students to interact through Minecraft in order to share their code. You have options that involve posting code in the world, capturing code and sending it to you as text, or saving their code and sharing that saved code.
In order for students to post their code in the world, they need to be able to have a text copy of their code to post in the world. This works for text based languages such as Python and Java. A simple copy and paste of the code can be used to post in the world on a board. Then the board can be captured using camera book and quill, and the exported PDF can be shared with the teacher. Of course the copied code can also be shared directly with the teacher as text.
Another way teachers can collect code from students is for students using MakeCodeis to share links to share their code. Students can create a link to their code from the MakeCode window whether they use block coding, Python or Java. then the link can be shared with the teacher through their learning management system. Of course, the link can also be shared in their book and quill. I have my students do both, haha.
When using Python Azure Notebooks, there is no sharing option. In fact there is no saving option within Minecraft. Students who use Python Azure Notebooks must always make a copy of the text code they create and copy this code somewhere outside of Minecraft whenever they work. In this case, the students could be sharing their work to a shared drive location. This makes it easy for teachers to set up a system where this drive is available to them. On the other hand, you can simply ask them to share the text with you. More elaborate code obviously will not fit on a single board in Minecraft. However early projects can be shared on a board, and therefore also shared using camera book and quill.
