Creating Engaging Classrooms with MinecraftEduOne of the biggest challenges a teacher faces with students is engagement. There is vast untapped potential with game-based learning tools to engage our students once again. Address curriculum standards while encouraging complex thinking, problem solving, and collaboration in an online learning environment through the use of MinecraftEdu. In this workshop teachers will gain hands-on experience, from beginner to builder, using MinecraftEdu as a teaching tool while participating and discussing the merits of learning in this environment. Getting Started with MinecraftEduSo you have seen Minecraft, you understand the powerful learning tool it can be...but now what? In this workshop, teachers will review the aspects of Minecraft that make it engaging to students. With a firm understand of the many roles Minecraft can play in a lesson, teachers will work on completing a map to integrate a topic of concept. This hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the many building tools and educational features available to them when creating the ultimate learning environments. Ready, Set, Animate! with LEGO Movie MakerBefore Minecraft, there was LEGO! Before movies there was pictures! Engage students in an activity that can span any content area or standard while allowing students to express learning through creative stop motion animations. During this hands on workshop participants will use the LEGO Movie Maker iOS app to create short stop motion animations. You bring the device with the app installed, I will bring the LEGO, together we will make learning entertaining! Code: The New Literacy Computer science and computational thinking skills are in high demand. Nine out of 10 parents want their child to study computer science, but only 1 in 4 schools teach computer programming. Job opportunities are growing at a rate of 4x the graduates to fill them. In this session, we will use Code.org to create an app and code without a computer. Then we will work with some programmable bots in an effort to bring the coding into the real world! Skills of computational thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, persistence and problem solving will be our focus. Use this session as a springboard to get code into your classroom! 2017 Presentations and Workshops
