We don't have the Usual LMS

Everyday, I hear of the amazing work being carried out by children from around the world, as they become knowledge-able, as well as knowledgeable in their gaming interactions. Many children, supported by experienced elders (parents and their peers) are taking part in this exciting platform. Teachers are also helping their students to achieve amazing feats.

Look at this stunning construction in Minecraft The Minecraft build is stunning! Babylon in a completely modern world of our children's futures. By amazing - I don't mean just building in a gaming environment! I'm talking about engaging in the arts of literacy and communication, digital citizenship and storytelling and, most importantly, in the realm of creativity and global cultural. It requires effort from adults to nurture students in this way.

Minecraft in education is a growing phenomenon and educators are taking to the platform to see how they can integrate Minecraft into the learning environments of their schools. To be honest - Minecraft is also becoming a minefield of its very own in the 'grown-up world' (consultant warning) - and that is why it is crucial that we connect with a quality user with a solid knowledge of best practices in Minecraft rather than with consultants.

Project Mist

Project Mist, from Donelle Batty, is one of my top Australian leaders - working with her kids daily that we could only wish for all our children. Donelle has been running Project M.I.S.T (Minecraft In School Transforming education) for what seems like eons now. Her students have very powerful learning experiences. GMods experience in Minecraft tells it all!

My experience in Minecraft this year was truly memorable; the team work, the efforts, the creativity gained and witnessed was simply amazing. I was able to interact with others with similar interests as me and made friendships throughout the year. The most enjoyable thing was cooperating. When there were large mobs and deaths, we took shelter and shared our supplies. If someone needed help with creating or building something, it was always satisfying to show them how to do so. I've also learned about the importance of my appearance online and how I present myself to the people of the world wide web. Presentation is important and your first impression of you is everything. If you act like an online tool, people will see you once and say "Wow this person is ridiculous and rude." And that would be their last visit to your page/ sever/ profile. Editum

Recently I followed a tweet to read what Donelle wrote about the 2014 launch of #ProjectMIST.

2014 #ProjectMIST is about to begin. It requires a dedicated community! http://t.co/HwGMrUlHI5 #minecraft @natbott42

She reminded us that Minecraft is a collaborative experience as are the many stages of learning that are required to gain Minecraft experience. Donelle is a leader in the world, and will soon be traveling to Tasmania as an Hardie Fellow (Info re Hardie Fellowship recipients 2013-14).

Donelle was also reminded of Jo Kay's incredible work, who I have worked closely with over the years on many projects. Jo currently supports and builds our work in the Master of Education, Knowledge Networks and Digital Innovation degree here at CSU. We do not use the typical LMS however, we have created our own version for the degree at present.

Donelle is also able to explain this in a similar manner:

ProjectMIST is extremely fortunate to have one person who has been with since the beginning of the project and is there every day, even at 12:00 am. Jo Kay is there to assist the students when I'm not. Her assistance is highly appreciated by the students and they show this by building replicas of her avatars on their own servers, one young man did this the other night , when she helped him out when he locked himself out of his server. This student has now just been accepted onto Massively @ Jokaydia Minecraft Guild and is very excited to be able to build, learn and explore with others from all parts of the world.

If you're an educator, a parent, or just someone who wants to give kids the chance to play Minecraft I suggest you visit Massively @ Jokaydia.

The Massively @ jokaydia Website is an online community that is sponsored by jokaydia.com – provides parents and kids with games-based spaces where they can collaborate, learn, and play!

The project is designed for kids aged 4-16yrs who are interested in gaining digital media skills, exploring their imagination and enhancing their online social skills. We currently use Minecraft, a video game Minecraft to provide a secure whitelisted server, as well as various activities that allow kids to choose their own fun learning paths and adventures.

You can't do better than that! Babylon was designed by one student!
