He's attracted to the game because of it's open ended quality with no clear cut end goals or missions. In addition, he is trying to impart the lesson of treating others the same online as well as in real life. ]]> 2019-02-07 00:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark511/53r24lsqbaia/wish/328545554 Is it equitable? aclark511 https://padlet.com/aclark511/53r24lsqbaia/wish/328545886 No it is not equitable because he is not considering the learning implications. He just views the game as an easy way to integrate games into his curriculum.]]> 2019-02-07 00:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark511/53r24lsqbaia/wish/328545886 3 ways to make it equitable: nervin1 https://padlet.com/aclark511/53r24lsqbaia/wish/328545963 1. Relate the game to a common learning goal. Use this idea for social studies.
2. Assess the students knowledge. See what they are gaining from the experience.
3. Linking the game to other websites. Have the students learn about other communities. (Do some research)]]> 2019-02-07 00:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark511/53r24lsqbaia/wish/328545963 Does the technology advance student learning? mbecke12 https://padlet.com/aclark511/53r24lsqbaia/wish/328546716 The use of Minecraft in the classroom does not engage students in a learning goal or support them sharing their knowledge. The "end goal" is not particularly related to a learning goal, but instead has students just having fun through the use of technology
