Louise has given a couple of where to begin when starting out on Minecraft. Redesigning homes for our learners where is no restriction for our learners to use.
Minecraft Education Edition - we will need permission from our tech person. It is free of cost with our learners using our gmail to sign it.
Foxcraft is a recommended YouTuber for Minecraft. Check with our tech to download Minecraft on our MacBook Air. Will definitely have a try soon! Thanks Louise
Key things to help me organise for independent learning:
1. Established routines & rules: Each child is an expert. Each child needs to learn and practice. 3 before me. Try and solve the problem without seeing me.
Contracts: - the student plans and works out what their timetables look like.
- Compulsory tasks that student has to complete. Deliberate planning to what needs to be done.
Support students that struggle more - activities to buddy up. Check-in with target groups regularly.- Meet with those students, go through all the tasks on the task. I will check that they know what it's about. The only group that is supported to timetable their work. The planning is required prior to starting the contract.
Monitoring: Uses a data sheet. Target inquiry group and follow through with learners who are reluctant to finish work. Uses Hapara to filter websites that are appropriate to the task.
Success criteria are established at the beginning of the class to ensure the learner will complete each task to a high quality. The tasks have already been done. Otherwise, the student can repeat the task again.
Each learner has the same contract. Check that supports are there for struggling learners.
