I don't post much about games. But you can see my art. I draw aliens.
Congratulations to Mike's Angels, the winners of the 2022 AI Settlement Generation Challenge in @Minecraft.
This is a thread about their entry and the GDCM competition.
Feel free to share. #pcg#Minecraft#GameAI@UniLeidenNews@mike_preuss
@Legolad I haven't talked to most of those kids in many years. But there is at least one that is the admin of a big MC server community. He wrote to me and thanked me for introducing him to the game and said it led to many great things in his life. Made me week.
Am I doing this right?

@romero It was an honor to meet you and let my hair down with you a few years ago at GDC. I had no idea about this history or the significance. Thank you for sharing!
That one time I got a bad haircut and then gave a TED Talk...
Fun fact: You can see my kids in the video right when I say "one of my daughters". (although now they are out as non-binary!)
When video games are used alongside the context and curation provided by a teacher, they have the ability to foster an explosion of creativity and ingenuity.
@GamerTeachr makes a convincing case for bringing video games into the classroom: https://t.co/0jKfPLvFHc
Thinking about the work of @remikalir and @anterobot today in a PD about Executive Functioning. Biggest advice for educators of learners with lagging-EF skills: Take pics of model examples of HW/backpack/desk/etc and #annotate them to help kids be able to visualize the steps.
@mr_isaacs It's been a long road. I cannot believe that my earliest classes with Minecraft were over TEN years ago. Minecraft, itself, is a very different game these days.
@Horus_The_Local@Grumpy_Old_Ma Wow, this really means a lot to me. Teachers don't often get to know how they affected their students as adults. So this is really cool! Of course, now I'm dying to know who you are. Feel free to DM me if you like!
