Introduction to MinecraftEDU
Intro Group Challenge: Together with your partner build:
We are using the "Group Building Areas" (Eco Junction) MinecraftEDU world for this challenge. Lesson Objectives:
(This is a 2 day introductory lesson for 4th and 5th grade students. For students who complete the challenge - both partners must craft all 10 tools - I become their "Minecraft Genie" and grant them 3 wishes. I use the MinecraftEDU teacher console to GIVE them 3 different kinds of Minecraft items they want - and up to 64 of each one. Then they can use those items in their area to continue building/crafting.)
