Spent ~40-50 hours in the past week or two (at a guess, anyway, wasn’t keeping track) working on a program for a modded minecraft world (I’m running ComputerCraft which lets you write programs to control bots to do stuff), and I’m finally finished with it. Doing the “production deployment” is very nerve wracking tho lol. Lots of shit to check and double check and I don’t exactly have a process lol. Just been 3 hours of “oh, will that work?? Okay, no, I need to update that here, and then, oh, I need to go back and update the repository”

I really want a build and deployment toolset, but it’s such overkill. Bad enough I designed a (lightweight) unit test suite and issue tracker, how many more tools do I need to put together for a solo minecraft world lmao

I think my life goal at this point is to just implement all the weird noodly stuff I did at uni in minecraft somehow. I need a computer vision mod already so I can make a virtual copy of my senior project smh

computercraft is honestly a pretty solid analogue to how I've used microcontrollers and FPGAs and stuff IRL, but it's always pretty hard to find uses for it. like, most of the dominant mods already self-regulate really aggressively, so there just isn't much room for it in a given system. so like, usually if I do anything with it, it's just simple stuff like displaying a marquee above a storefront or something

If anyone knows who the appropriate person to contact about the computercraft forum registration being broken-- or is already registered and can post about it, I’d appreciate it.  I emailed dan200, but I have a suspicion he’s not the relevant person.  The registration system is using recaptcha v1, which has been discontinued.

MinecraftEdu Featured Educator Jason Wilmot - December 2015

It’s almost time for holidays but before we close the shop for a brief moment before the spring semester, we have one more community highlight to share with you. 

Jason Wilmot is a K-5 Computer Science teacher from Lincoln, NE who together with his students won the Code.org $10,000 prize in 2014 using MinecraftEdu & ComputerCraftEdu. Without further ado, let’s hear it from Jason!

Introduction 

My name is Jason Wilmot. I am a teacher, writer, traveler and an all around believer in good. I have enjoyed eight amazing years in elementary education, first as a 4th grader teacher and most recently as K-5 Computer Science educator. I am an Apple Distinguished Educator (Class of 2015), a $10,000 recipient from Code.org, a founding board member of The Bay and try to be an overall good neighbor. I have traveled the world, met beautiful people, and have seen the many ways education impacts the heart of communities.I was an early adopter of using Minecraft in the classroom and started using with it in 2013 with the partnership of the University of Nebraska. Since that time, I have used MinecraftEdu with over 800+ K-5 students. All the while, I made a point to write, post and share the stories, thoughts and student creations along the way. Some notable creations were our school-wide Thank You to Code.org, Kindergarten Vines, and a heart-wrenching memorial. I have however, recently taken a leave of absence from the world of education in order to make time for my wife and for our first little Wilmot arriving in January. In the meantime however, I’m still very much a MinecraftEdu fanboy and continue to advocate for its presence in learning environments.

What was your relationship to Minecraft before MinecraftEdu?

Minecraft was first introduced to me in my last year as a 4th grade teacher by Tre-Vawn, a bright-eyed genius who had an imagination too great for anyone his age. He had a knack for thinking things through in a “who’s the teacher, now?” sort of way. He and three of his classmates persuaded me to give it a shot. I downloaded it, put it on the iPads and oh my, the fire spread quickly. Within days, my original Minecrafters were awarded with the uphill task of teaching the next person how to play. And as the school year rolled on, almost every student was vying for time on the iPad, just to play Minecraft.As my last days of that season came to a close, my Minecraft crew talked me into having a BYOD Minecraft Party. We got a hold of as many iPads as we could – which, was not many – and connected over the same servers. And on that fine day, I played Minecraft for the first time. Actually, what I experienced was nothing too impressive to be honest. I initially found Minecraft to be a bit underwhelming. It was blocky. It looked outdated; retro. I didn’t understand why kids – in this day and age - would like something so profoundly simple. But for some reason they did; They loved it. So, I decided that I wanted to know why - and over the next two years I definitely discovered a love for the game firsthand.

How do you use Minecraft or MinecraftEdu in the classroom? 

One of my primary motivations for the using MinecraftEdu was to learn how to further embedded technology into education. However, it was a splash deeper than that – I didn’t just want to sprinkle in techy gadgets or electronic worksheets – I wanted to find where curriculum, creativity and student desires could meet. Maybe I’m old skool, new school, or something in the realm of other – but as an educator, what I hold onto more than anything else is this: learning must be meaningful, and it must be relevant. That means content must be presented in real world ways. It should make sense and whenever possible it should be simulated, not just presented in information-only forms.Minecraft was the vehicle for this. We have learned about digital citizenship, computational thinking and connected everyday classroom curriculum into student creations. Kids have solved math problems, created digital dioramas, and have built projects like the Great Wall of China, the Orphan Train, our solar system, water conservation tutorials, and everything in between. We have simulated learning goals from Language Arts, Junior Achievement and extracurricular activities. Really, I could keep going, but I think you get point: with MinecraftEdu the possibilities are endless.

What were some of the challenges in getting started?

At the time, getting started with MinecraftEdu held a huge learning curve. I learned about servers, mods, installation - all unfamiliar territory. Additionally, there was the all import aspect of weaving in pedagogy, outcomes and student voice. On top of all that, there were parents to convince, peer educators to persuade, and the overall pressure that comes with pioneering anything new. All in all, It was a perfect storm of discovery, opportunity, and a real-world learning problem solving.Yet the most challenging aspect of getting started was pushing past the traditional mindset of what learning environments can look like. Maybe I’m old skool, new school, or something in the realm of other – but as an educator, what I hold onto more than anything else is this: learning must be meaningful, and it must be relevant. That means content must be presented in real world ways. It should make sense and whenever possible it should be simulated, not just presented in information-only forms.Our job as educators is not to provide the dots, but to facilitate the connecting of dots. This means taking student experiences and building into that specific knowledge base. It means getting to know the students on an individual basis. It’s discovering what they find interesting, what they believe about the world, and where they find significance. And for all these things – for this affinity space – the best place to start was Minecraft.

How have your students responded? Do you have a specific success story? 

Out of all the success stories, my favorite memory was our Hour of Code last November. Weeks prior to the Hour of Code, we shifted our focus to discuss programs, loops and repeat features built within coding languages. We had some unplugged coding activities like using x and y coordinates to program movements, and we conjured up some pretty crazy whole-class dances with custom moves (our algorithms) and loops. By the time the weeklong Hour of Code rolled around, the students were ready to take all that we had learned and use it within MinecraftEdu. For our Hour of Code, we used a Minecraft mod called ComputerCraft. With this Logo Turtle-based mod (ComputerCraft), students programed their own ideas and even recorded them on a sheet of paper - making the learning more concrete and enabling them to program at home without a computer. Students used drag and drop movements and actions so that the turtles mined into the earth, built stairways into the sky, and dug a series of holes only to have the turtle turn around and fill them back in. One student programed a hide-and-go seek turtle, another had the turtle build a rectangular house foundation, while another even synced up their turtle to drop materials onto a pressure plate which activated a redstone circuit with fireworks. On top of all of that, at the end of the of the week I got to surprise our entire staff and students with a $10,000 check from Code.org - allocated to be spent on even more computer science goodies and iPads for the regular classroom teachers. It was a phenomenal moment in my mind and a moment I’ll cherish far into the future.  

What is the future of Minecraft in your classroom? 

As I mentioned earlier, I have recently take a leave of absence from my classroom, nonetheless I’ve stayed involved in side projects like helping lead a Minecraft summer club. Additionally, I recently finished writing a chapter contribution on Minecraft for a soon-to-be published piece on Gamificaiton. Lastly, I’ve have gotten to help connect some pretty cool individuals who are currently developing a mod with loads of potential.  

Do you have any advice for teachers starting out, or who are already working with  MinecraftEdu?

My advice to any teacher is to share what your kids are creating in class! Let’s face it: there is an uphill battle when it comes to convincing others of the educational benefits of MinecraftEdu - merely because it’s a ‘game.’ Nonetheless, my favorite way to overcome this mindset is simply by sharing what the kids are doing and creating to demonstrate their understanding.  So what are the best ways to share? I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using Vine, Twitter and the hashtag #minecraftedu. However, there are also kid-friendly hubs like Creatubbles.com where students can store screenshots and share them in a kid-friendly community. Additionally, you could use Google Classroom or Edmodo, but most importantly it’s all about showcasing what kids are doing and learning..

Would you like other educators to contact you about your experiences? 

I love connecting with other educators and talking Minecraft. I’ve spent a lot of time blogging my experiences, creating videos tutorials and writing out processes to help more educators hop on board the MinecraftEdu train. If you want to check out my blog, it can be found at JasonWilmot.com/minecraft. There you can see our classroom creations, view our Vines, videos and learn more about how I’ve used MinecraftEdu in the classroom. You can also reach me on Twitter at @mrjasonwilmot.
