Virtual PD Event
Earth Day with Minecraft Education - Educator PD Workshop
This PD session will get educators comfortable with using Minecraft, along with introducing them to Build Challenges and the Museum Minecraft: Sustainable Style world. The PD will prepare teachers to run a build challenge with their students and get them excited about the possibilities. Teachers will learn how Minecraft Education can be used to enhance their lessons as not only a tool for teaching, but as an engaging way to show student learning.
We'll also introduce our build challenge contest for Earth Day. Educators will be encouraged to create student teams of up to 5 and submit their build challenges.

A longtime enthusiast of all things Minecraft, I'm a full time Minecraft Education consultant, developer and content creator. Using my unique skill sets and understanding of the application, I assist educators in harnessing the power of Minecraft Education in the classroom, through PD, and workshops for students. As a developer and a content creator, I create detailed custom content and unique Minecraft experiences which you can take a tour of on my website. I'm also a Minecraft Ambassador, and a moderator at the official Minecraft Education Support Site, and the Minecraft Education Teacher's Lounge Facebook group. I volunteer actively in Minecraft Education communities, providing support and assistance for educators on their own Minecraft Education journey, and you can find me every year volunteering my experience and knowledge at the Minecraft Education booth at BETT (one of the world's largest Education and Tech conferences). I also regularly create Minecraft Education focused videos on my own YouTube channel to support the work and techniques I cover, while also producing a Toolbox Tuesday series on the Minecraft Education Teacher's Lounge, tuned specifically to educators and students needs. Finally, I'm also a Director at Creative Active Lives CIC, a non-profit providing Minecraft experiences to special needs students in the UK. As part of my activities at Creative Active Lives, I run a weekly Minecraft Sunday Club for some of these students. Peace, Love and Happy crafting!
