We had a great Inset on Tuesday where we used Minecraft in an ECA. In fact, what was particularly useful was that rather than have CPD where everybody gathers in a room and talks ABOUT students.
We ran our CPD inside the classroom with the students right there to talk to and see what they felt about the experiences they were having. The students in the class were building 7 wonders of the world in Minecraft. (This is my reflection on that discussion, rather than notes from the discussion.) The question is, how can it be taken from an ECA and used within the curriculum? Successes So Far We have seen a few successful implementations of Minecraft within the curriculum. Tanglin has created a great citizenship unit, which teaches types of governance.
