Virtual PD Workshop
Michif Minecraft: Voices of the Métis (Part 2) - Co-taught Lesson
Continue your journey into Métis history and culture in Part 2 of this immersive learning series. In this session, students will encounter important Métis historical figures alongside real-life Métis people who are living, contributing, and shaping Métis culture today.
Students will learn about bison hunting and its vital role in Métis life, culture, and survival—exploring how it supported food, tools, trade, and community traditions. Learners will also explore additional buildings and sites around Métis Crossing, deepening their understanding of how place, land, and community are connected in Métis history.
To bring learning to life, students will participate in a creative build challenge, designing and constructing something that reflects what they have learned about Métis culture, values, and ways of life. This hands-on experience encourages creativity, critical thinking, and respectful cultural understanding while helping students connect historical knowledge to modern perspectives.
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!
