Fantastic listen. I agree with you Lois that it has really got me interested. The teacher mindcraft day would be an interesting prospect. I don’t think that you can ever have enough teacher tinker time.
Thanks Aaron. Teachers never ever get enough tinker time and I think I need to work with other interested teachers to get started on Minecraft. I like coding but just can’t find a way into the Minecraft side of things…yet. So a teacher day might be the way to go.
Sounds like something for Kate Cooper Lois and her coding moonshot.
