Today's challenge in Minecraft Education with Year 7 was to build a wall 100x100 blocks as fast as they could. Lots of fun and chickens. In the end coding my wall build was classified as cheating but smart by the students. @PlayCraftLearn@realstevenbauer@dan_bowen
Great initiative launched today . CEDP STEM MAD! A great showcase of student work across the Diocese. This was the start and will surely grow! Well done Paul Stenning & Team LEX! @CatholicEdParra
The bonus knock-on effect of students in School of Now is that most students want to be there and wish to succeed. Eighteen 25 page Biomedical Engineering Reports later with most on full marks due to university-level response ... great educational problem! @CatholicEdParra
There is always an element of pride when students past and present ask for access to old tasks as they know it will help their university applications #schoolofnow@gavhays@CatholicEdParra
Improve PBL skills. "Great Idea!"
Put into practice. "I can do that!"
Open engineering brief on braking systems... getting nervous...
"I want to study the braking systems within a helicopter avoiding unintended rotation of the rotors in parking position"... D'oH! @JeffPhilllips11
Marking is brilliant when you stumble across excellence! Some great student work happening in the CEDP School of Now where contemplation is occurring to make tasks more challenging to match student ability! Great sample from @Delany_College
@dan_bowen Great! Wrote a fully resourced Stage 4 STEM project that I would be happy to share ... great introduction and experience for coding for both teachers and students! Thanks for your help!
