Minecraft Coding

This is a 9 weeks course in Computer Science @Heritage Middle School.

Minecraft Coding is an introductory course that allows students to explore foundational Computer Science concepts like conditionals, functions, and coordinates using the Minecraft Education coding platform. Students will work individually and collaboratively within the Minecraft platform to create code for their Agent. This course will help students build computational thinking skills. We will offer Level III for both courses next school year, 2022-2023.

Cyber Announcement:

One of our favorite cyberspaces will be Google Classroom (GC). I will use GC to post announcements and lesson plans/assignments. You will be automatically enrolled into my Google Classroom. Enter your WakeId and click on Google Classroom and you will see the Computer Science Discoveries course on your Dashboard. Everyday you will need to login to your WakeId Portal and then click on GC. Use and access to GC when you are ABSENT is very important. Get ready for a creative, transformational, and fun adventure as we explore the world of computer science!

Additional Tips: Come to class with this thought, "while in class, I will minimize distractions". Be fully attentive and engaged. Participate and ask questions. Anticipate new knowledge.
