03.09.13.Minecraft Classroom Design.

Today I would like to tell you about our very exciting mission that we have been completing. We have been commissioned to design a classroom for a new school that will be built in Christchurch.We are using Minecraft Virtual World to create a classroom that I would want to learn in.

We used MineCraft because we were designing our class room for 2014 which is after 2013.The future classroom has to have somewhere you can learn in like a reading area where everybody sits down and reads a book.It also has to have a maths area.

But before we started to go on MineCraft we took step by step procedures.The first thing we had to do was brainstorm our ideas in our topic books.We had to think of things that we would like to have in our classrooms.After we brainstormed all of our ideas we had to build our classrooms out of Lego blocks so that when we went onto our iPads we could picture what we were building.

 

After we had done that we to draw our classroom building in our topic book.We had to draw our drawings in a birds eye view and had to label each area eg reading room,the maths area and so on and so on.Then we had to go on to our iPads and select a world on the server of the MindCraft.After that we had got in to MindCraft we had to find a flat piece of land so that we could  build our classroom on it.

We also had to get familiar with the commands so we knew what to do when we wanted to turn left or right or even up and down. After all of that we learnt the commands and found a suitable piece of land we had to start building our school.

Now I am going to talk about the bad points and the good points.The good thing about the app Mindcraft is that you can build any thing but you have to build it out of blocks that are in all sorts  of colours.Now to the bad points.The bad thing about MineCraft is that some of us kept on losing our classrooms that they had built and had put their best work in to. One more thing about the bad point is if you put a waterfall in it can flood your whole classroom unless you put blocks on topo of the water.

Now the last thing I am going to say is what I think about the cool app MineCraft.I think that the app MineCraft is a very good learning app that every one can enjoy.

My next step learning for Minecraft is to build a home sweet home in Minecraft.

Thank you for reading my MineCraft blog.
