Minecraft 4 Teachers Server

The Description

Help me and my partners raise enough money to fund the Minecraft4Teachers server for one year. During the course of the year we will help teachers learn how to play Minecraft, develop lessons, and implement Game-based Learning philosophy into the classroom. We want to offer teachers Free Professional Development (PD) in all aspects of Minecraft, from basic game play mechanics, to Redstone and Command Blocks, to World Building and Game Design.  We want to turn teachers into Game Designers so that they may facilitate the game design process for their students.  Lets empower teachers and students to take control of their learning and lessons by designing their own lessons and games within Minecraft!

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase as much bandwidth and time for servers as possible. We also need to pay our developer a monthly fee and will fund him for as long as possible.

Map Building

August 18, 2016

Currently our team is building a ready to download map within Minecraft. This map would be used to create a quiz within the game with true game elements, such as Parkour, Mob Fighting, Crafting Challenges, Speed Runs, and Redstone Locks!  Help us make this map a reality and ready to download for all Minecraft Educators!

Hi Mark
I'm happy to help and would be very interested in the PD sessions! My 2nd grade class is obsessed with Minecraft! I will be sharing too :)

Good luck with this project. I love the idea of having a space for teacher learning that will directly impact students. Can't wait to explore! Keep up the great work.
