At #ByteConference and was able to meet and chat with @ditchthattextbook.com Getting ready for his keynote speech! #EduSky

Friday was a fab day for a Gr 4/5 & Gr 3 class at #ecolemacneill. Both classes had their 1st day communicating with their #GlobalPenpalProject using @bookcreator.com We had such a great time & look forward to next week’s entry! #mvsd_mb #Mieexpert

And finally, a Gr 2/3 class dived into research mode. I posted a few good links in #MicrosoftTeams & we also used #SearchCoach to hep find more safe sites. #MicrosoftEdu

Gr 3s and one Gr 4/5 class also got set to participate in the #GlobalPenpalProject using @bookcreator.com We’re so excited to share our language/culture and learn from our penpals!

Then Gr 3s & a Gr4/5 class explored NW Pacific Experience in #MinecraftEdu. Learning the different terminology and customs & how they differ/are similar to those in MB.

What a #TerrificTechTuesday at #EcoleMacneill. Our day started off with Gr 1s logging in with their super secure 8 digit passwords and playing #Kahoot. #mvsd_mb #MicrosoftEdu #EduSky

Then one of gr 2/3 classes hit Kahootopia Island #10 while they played & learned about various Christmas traditions! #Kahoot #mvsd_mb #mieexpert

Today our gr 1s took on more coding with @microbit.org We made Jingle Bells sound great! #mvsd_mb #coding #mieexpert

These are quotes from some of my early years esports students 4 years ago. We’ve now grown to 4 schools in my division & have early years esports going province-wide. The buzz of students playing/sharing/learning/growing every week is fabulous.

#ecolemacneil Gr 1s started #Csedweek early! AM - we coded a fun emoji rock/paper/scissors game on @microbit.org PM - we did the #MinecraftEdu Hour of Code with our book buddies from Gr 2/3. It was such an amazing day - enthusiasm galore! #mieexpert #mvsd_mb

My #minecraftstudentambassador helped the #BarkerBears celebrate our last #esports session for 2024! We had several rooms going and the room was buzzing! And check out my new mittens! They match my custom pants so I can rep #MinecraftEdu in any weather now!

Yep I’ve led sessions with this HOC with grades 2-7! It’s such a fabulous world!!

Using @microbit.org , another 4/5 class started working on their Christmas songs. They had to identify the notes (name/duration) then headed over to #MicrosoftMakeCode to start bringing their songs to life!! #mvsd_mb #MIEExpert

We are #esports. We learn, we share, we grow in skills of all types, we mentor, we include all players and we have an absolute tonne of fun playing! My #ecolemacneill group held our last mtg of 2024 today. Candy canes and so much joy! #mvsd_mb #MSEA #minecrafteducation #EduSky

Earlier in the day, we coded a quick math game using @microbit-edu.bsky.social with the grade 4s. They created the rules for each button & also tried adjusting the parameters for each of the +-/x operations! #EduSky #mvsd_mb

After school, two of my #MinecraftStudentAmbassador helped lead a session of #hourofcode with another #mvsd_mb #esports groups! We were all dancing in our seats and creating some awesome code!! #MinecraftEducation

What a fabulous #MinecraftMonday !!
Using #hourofcode in a gr 2/3 class and we had the Agent on hand! So much fun!! 🎶👯‍♂️👨‍💻🪩 #MIEExpert #mvsd_mb #coding

Playing the new #hourofcode in #minecrafteducation with a grade 4/5 class and their actual quotes “Mme, we really need this I hope we do more”, “I like how I could be so creative” , “this was the best HOC ever!” and I agree 💯!! A phenomenal world to play, learn & have a tonne of fun! #mieexpert
