Tomorrow, Ms. Furno, 7th grade Social Studies will be our very first class to try Minecraft. edu at KMS. We've come a long, long way in the ...5 months we've had our Makerspace up and running. I've felt strongly about using Minecraft.edu as part of our Makerspace opportunities since I tried it at NCCAT - Teaching GenZ this summer. Mike and Sage (UNCG) will come to KMS in the a.m. while 7th grade is at Encore, grab the already logged on laptops that I spent 2 hrs prepping this afternoon and get ready for Ms Furno's students to learn Minecraft.edu. On Monday and Tuesday, next week, the students will creating a town together following the directions based on this website:

Here is a link to the video Mike made of the base world he created where the students will start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwpuRP1LnU0
It's been a very busy week, being the week before the week before Christmas holiday break. We've gotten 179 Chromebooks in too.
Fingers crossed!
