Wonderful demonstration of using the #MinecraftEdu to support #chemistry in this activity from @bscott36.

Pupils were encouraged to get creative with Minecraft Education and use it to explain their finding. @PlayCraftLearn This was a great example of Johnson's Triangle @ChatChemistry @RSC_EiC

I had a wonderful time speaking at
@STEMLearningUK yesterday! I enjoyed presenting my talk on game based learning and gamification in science lessons.
Thank you @talbotg85 for having me. It was great to also catch up with @beejdeva from the @cogscisci conference.
Also a cheeky shout out to @themonkeycage and @MarcusduSautoy. I run the board game at my school and I was fortunate enough to see a live recording and it happened to be all about board games!
I have been fortunate enough to have some research time with our year 8s. I decided to really develop their investigation skills over 10 lessons to create a video lab report. We also enjoyed app smashing to produce some incredible videos!
This has been an amazing set of lessons using @AdobeExpress video. I feel these year 8 video lab reports speak for themselves! @FionaAS @dave2004b @dom_traynor @greghodgson @TanyaAvrith @AlKingsley_Edu @KJF239 @talbotg85 @Biol_DrOg @hecharden @NTAScience @AdobeForEdu
A big thank you to @innovate_2_EDU for inspiring our journey in AR. Lots of ideas are beginning to form.

Very pleased to get a piece on Game-based learning: Ideas for using Minecraft in your lessons published in SecEd.
Minecraft can lead to some of my easiest and most enjoyable lessons, really probing what pupils understand and how they model their learning sec-ed.co.uk/content/best-pr…
