Epic Adventures
Minecraft Visit with Knowclue Kidd
We will meet on Front Range Island first. We will take information for white listing and will provide Minecraft information at that time. It is expected to take 5 to 10 minutes. Once we have everyone, we will send in your information and head over to Minecraft. :D
You will need to have your own Minecraft account: http://www.minecraft.net/store
While I wish I could have been there - I do want to share something else epic about the Morrow School kids.
I showed this video - Crumple's Pet Skunk Tutorial at the end of the Metagame presentation. So we then had the question - when this student shows up in your online class, what will they think about a purely text based LMS course?
Later on -one of the faculty came up to me and asked, "What do you think that student will be like as an instructional designer?"
WoW!! What a great tour! Thank you so much KnowClue and the Morrowcraft kids for the mindblowing session. I was very impressed with your build and energy and all the great instructions. You were all very patient with us. :D
