To expand my teacher tool belt I participated in a live Minecraft Education training offered by Stride, my current employer. These four instructor led 90 minute sessions took place asynchronously through Microsoft Teams meetings. The focus of these sessions was to introduce the basics of Minecraft Education and the integration into our classrooms. By the end of this training I was able to demonstrate my abilities on basic functions like; walking, running, digging, building, code, and journaling. While learning how to use Minecraft was a large portion of our training, the instructors spent timing demonstrating how to use Minecraft in our classrooms. The instructors led us through Minecraft's premade lesson plans and explorations. I found this training to be very useful as I had never used Minecraft. My students have a love for Minecraft, so I look forward to using the "challenges" in my science classroom.
