On Tuesday, Feb 7 at 01:00 UTC, VSTE, Virginia Society for Technology in Education, invited EVO Minecraft MOOC to one of its “Minecraft Monday” server parties (for people in the USA this was Monday evening Feb 6). The event was hosted by EVOMC16 participants and VSTE members Kimball Harrison and Beth O’Connell.

Vance managed to stream this here, https://youtu.be/MgWzZXXECLI
However, guess what, I got set up at 5 a.m. for this and needed to leave for work at 6:00, and in the fog, I found I didn’t have my mic activated in the stream, so there’s not much here unfortunately, unless someone else recorded it :-(.

Here is Kimball’s announcement inviting the EVO Minecraft MOOC community to join the event:

Week 3: Network Jan 31, 2017

Next Monday at 8 PM Eastern VSTE meets in our Minecraft world, “VSTE Place.” I’d love to have some EVO Minecraft MOOC members join us. I want to present the idea to VSTE that we do a “Survive the Summer” event from Memorial Day, May 29th, through Labor Day, September 4th. We’d have a survival map members can teleport to.

I’d love for any of you to come talk it up with me. We might have a panel discussion if there are enough of us, answering some questions that come up…

  • What’s the big deal about survival?
  • How do you start?
  • What are some common goals we might adopt?
  • Where do you get your best information about how to survive?
  • That sort of thing.

To participate you need a Minecraft account from Mojang https://account.mojang.com/, and the free software running 1.11.2

  • On the login screen Edit Profile, choose release 1.11.2 from the dropdown menu, and save the profile.
  • Our multiuser server address is 69.175.17.26:25565
  • Email K4sons (gmail) before 6 PM Monday with your Mojang Minecraft login name so you can be whitelisted.

For server information and more go to the flyer here https://goo.gl/fT2U95

We will use Discord for voice to communicate.
Download it ahead of time if you don’t have it and set up an account. It’s free.

Sat Feb 4 12pm EST Classroom 2.0 on Formative Assessment with Technology

Saturday, February 4, 2017
“Formative Assessment with Technology”Presenter: Dr. Monica Burns We are excited to welcome Dr. Monica Burns, an amazing, creative, inspiring educator as our special guest presenter on Classroom 2.0 LIVE on February 4, 2017. As educators we know the importance of using formative assessment in our classes during the learning process. The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by teachers to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. Formative assessments help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work and they help teachers recognize where students are struggling and address problems immediately. Monica will share some of her favorite tips about how we can use technology to support formative assessment to improve the learning process.Webinar Description Collecting meaningful formative assessment data and putting this information into action is a challenge for teachers at every grade level. Technology tools can make the collection and organization of formative assessment data more efficient. #FormativeTech can save instructional time, and help teachers organize data so strategic interventions can reach students in need. Join Dr. Monica Burns as she shares her favorite tips for using technology tools to check for understanding.

Monica has presented to teachers, administrators and tech enthusiasts at numerous national and international conferences including SXSWedu, ISTE, and EduTECH.
