Hi Everyone! A while back I said I was building a resource for my Masters in Digital Education at University of Leeds that would introduce Minecraft Education to HE educators ⛏️📚 Well the resource is now made and I've licensed it through creative commons so anyone can use it! I'm all for open educational resources after all. 🌍📚 Here it is, my Ideas for Using Minecraft in HE resource! ⛏️ It has the Minecraft world file for you to download and explore, guidance on how to use it single or multiplayer, accessibility controls, and at the bottom of the page is a walkthrough of the world for those who aren't able to download Minecraft Education Edition on their devices. https://lnkd.in/ezXiMYGS Massive thanks to Chrissi Nerantzi, Becky Keene, Mashfiq A., Ben aka DaddyG88 and Karl Ögland for sharing their knowledge with me and agreeing to provide use cases. Also to Anthony Rimmer and Katy Sheader for some excellent feedback on how to improve it. Arun Bhatia for testing the multiplayer for me and grabbing some screenshots I couldn't myself. Regent's University London for giving me access to the software and the freedom to continue my professional development through my Masters. And finally my daughter Evangeline for reminding me I needed to add Deny blocks if I didn't want users to break everything! #MinecraftEdu #HEresources #OpenEducationalResources #MinecraftEducation #creativeHE #masters #learningresources #training

There is one key difference between Minecraft Education esports and other gaming competitions: Minecraft Education Esports focuses on non-violent and collaborative build challenges. Which means it's accessible and inclusive for a diverse player base, including girls, neurodiverse students, and younger grade levels. In fact, many schools are licensed for Minecraft Education through their organization’s Microsoft 365 licensing, and no special equipment or technology is needed, making it an accessible, inclusive option for those looking to get started with academic esports. This past weekend at the ISTE Conference in Denver, schools competed in a one-hour block battle. They all had to solve a sustainability challenge, then build a solution in Minecraft. Congratulations to the Blazing BEVA Builders from LAUSD on their creative win. For lessons, guides, and more information about the program, click here: https://xbx.lv/3zuzf0V
