Student Centred Learning - Minecraft

Putting students at the centre of the learning process and allowing them to learn through areas that they are passionate about is the most important thing.

Listening to the level of talk, discussion, conversation around Minecraft you would be silly not to allow students to explore their learning or have a chance to learn through this media. The skills that they use and explore are amazing from problem solving to collaboration, instinct to imagination.

Teach for tomorrow, learn for today. Lets the kids be the reason we get up and come to school each day.

This is a 45 min collaborative learning time on Minecraft, driven by the students. They are amazing.

Probability - Dice rolling OR 4 moves

We played a game to test a theory of probability. On a 100 square board who would win if, 1 payer uses a dice and moved the number shown or would a person moving 4 squares each time win.

The first results where fairly even. So we tested the theory and game again.

These are the second round of games results. They clearly show tat moving 4 squares each time was faster to get to 100
