@StephenReidEdu Great article by the way. Looking forward to the next installment.

@StephenReidEdu One of my first gaming experiences was also Atari, specifically Superman. I remember flying around trying to round up Lex Luther’s gang. I remember that the purple guy was the quickest and most difficult to catch. As 7 year olds ourselves at the time, we called him Purple Pants.

@MrHillEdu @PlayCraftLearn Great idea. What about ‘Collaborator’? Maybe set them a task that specifically requires them to demonstrate teamwork.

#MinecraftGlobalMentors Please take to look at this: https://t.co/SD98o7pGKJ
It seems a vital (no brainer) update to the #MinecraftEdu suite and your support may make the difference!

@BarriMoc Yes Barri. This is indeed a no brainer. Many times in the past I’ve needed letter blocks and I’ve had to make do with the science element blocks instead. Only problem with this is that there isn’t a full alphabet. You’ve got my vote!

[Neil Selby @NeilSelby6]

@BarriMoc Wow! This looks incredible! Send me a link to the world. I’d be happy to give it a try.

Hey @MichelleGosling. It was raining cats and dogs in my Y7 Computing class today. Here’s a few of my students trying out the first Coding in #MinecraftEdu lesson. Thought you’d like to know.

[Neil Selby @NeilSelby6]

@AdGrocott @AllisonMcGrat13 @MicrosoftEDU @DuvalSchools @PlayCraftLearn Yes! Let’s do it.

[Neil Selby @NeilSelby6]

@AdGrocott @PlayCraftLearn @StephenReidEdu Bingo! 👏👏👏

[Neil Selby @NeilSelby6]

@AdGrocott @annkozma723 @Flipgrid Well done. Just one more for a full house #BETTBingo.

[Neil Selby @NeilSelby6]

@AdGrocott @BeckyKeene I’ve made it too easy for you! Let’s hope No.5 on your list is more difficult to track down.

[Neil Selby @NeilSelby6]

Here's a fun little seasonal activity for all the #MinecraftEdu fans out there. Get your students to design one square each and then use \clone to turn their work into an awesomely unique #ChristmasJumper design like this one created by members of @GrainvilleSch Minecraft Club.

@AdGrocott @MichelleGosling @JBennettJSY @Flipgrid @MSEducationUK @Lanny_Watkins @Sfm36 @BeckyKeene @Jenallee1 Will you be taking charge of his lighting and sound decks too?

[Neil Selby @NeilSelby6]

@JBennettJSY @AdGrocott @Flipgrid @MSEducationUK @Lanny_Watkins @Sfm36 @BeckyKeene @Jenallee1 Use the door. No jumping in through a window like you’re Starsky and Hutch’s stunt double.

[Neil Selby @NeilSelby6]

A3 I think sometimes, people don’t realize just how good their everyday practice is. I know at least two teachers here in Jersey that were #MIEExperts even before they joined the program for the first time this year. @MichelleGosling @Digital_Shore #MSFTCelt

[Sarah Clark @Sfm36]

An onto Q3 for tonight's #MSFTCelt tweetmeet. We would love to know how you have helped others to become MIEExpert. How are you supporting others in your school or establishment?

[Neil Selby @NeilSelby6]

@JulFletch @MicrosoftTeams @OneNoteEDU

[Neil Selby @NeilSelby6]

A2 Being an #MIEExpert has resulted in me being more open to innovative ways of embedding the use of technology into the way in which I assess students’ work. Apparently you can teach an old dog new tricks. Right @AdGrocott? #MSFTCelt

[Sarah Clark @Sfm36]

Q2 What impact has becoming a #MIEExpert had on learning in your classroom? What have been your big wins! #MSFTCelt

[Neil Selby @NeilSelby6]

A1 I’d say the biggest benefit of being a MIEE is the fact that it enables you to be connected with like minded individuals from across the world. That and helping me to be kept aware of the best Microsoft tools and apps that are out there. #MSFTCelt

[Sarah Clark @Sfm36]

Lets get started with Q1
If you are here as #MIEExpert what have you found to be the benefits? #MSFTCelt
Remember to answer A1

[Neil Selby @NeilSelby6]

Hi everyone. I’m Neil. I live in Jersey. I’m in my second year of being a MIEE. Still learning. #MSFTCelt

[Sarah Clark @Sfm36]

Welcome to tonight's #MSFTCelt tweetmeet. Please introduce yourself and tell us how long you have been on the programme or if you are looking to join. Remember to use #MSFTCelt and answer with A1, A2, A3

I'm over the moon! She's only gone and won it! And a special commendation too! Many thanks to @architecturejsy for putting on the schools competition. And well done Ella - Now you're an award winning superstar architect in the making. 🏆
