Our students began crafting a model of Spicewood today. Students got started by suggesting which rooms/structures they'd like to start working on and grouped themselves according to similar interest. A few lessons learned today like start a flat world otherwise you'll generate a world that's impossible to build on. Got it! I'm also learning about spawn points and teleporting students back to the build site - that comes in handy.
Our first Minecraft Club meeting was a great success! Third grade students quickly filled the library wide-eyed, bursting with excitement declaring they were here for Minecraft! Along with the help of Mrs. Haney, Mrs. Marvel, Mrs. Shipp, Mrs. Moline and a fifth grade helper Myles, we began by discussing expectations, setting goals, and moved into exploring our first tutorial world. The utter astonishment of seeing Minecraft on a school computer was amazing to experience with the students! We did encounter a few technical difficulties that have since been resolved, but that is all part of being the first pioneers of a Minecraft world at school. The students were extremely flexible and understanding, ready to help problem solve. Before leaving for the day, the group agreed that our first project would be to build a model of Spicewood Elementary. Quote of the Day |
