The COMPUTING Curriculum
There's no getting away from it, Minecraft is POPULAR! As well as being downright addictive too it does give scope for a lot of collaboration and also provides a platform that allows children to become very creative. As a self confessed Lego enthusiast, the idea that children can create things, block by block, got me thinking about what children could actually achieve using this program and I'm looking forward to finding that out!
Minecraft PE - iPad Version v Minecraft EDU
While Minecraft EDU is without a doubt the easier to get going and is the standard route to go IF you have the money to spend on it, I found an alternate, and cheaper method of doing this running Minecraft PE. (Although ultimately much more time consuming in the initial set up!)
I'll post more details on how to set up a server (going through the details using envioushost) to run and how to configure it to be in creative mode and installing the Plug ins later on, as well as details on how this is going in class! Stay tuned!
Check out what they've accomplished so far!
