Minecraft:Education Edition enthusiast and mentor. Lover of all things coding. I teach Python and pre-coding skills, STEM and tech ed.

What skills do primary students need to move forward in #MinecraftEDU lessons? Before I start coding or pre-made lessons, I make sure everyone has baseline skills. I can't assume they all have computers, and @PlayCraftLearn at home. I check off basics.

There is something to be said for purchasing materials through this reliable, long-term #STEM co. I went the cheep route and bought from somewhere else, and I could never get a single battery to light up that many lights. Accessible, engaging materials, always, from these folks.
Make this fun paper circuits card for the 4th of July holiday. #teacher #STEM #education #circuits #maker #papercircuits #STEMeducation #EdTech #LED @dailystem #4thOfJuly

Always excellent tips from @alicekeeler - nobody better for Google Classroom, Drive and files.
If you use Google Drive. remember that SHARED WITH ME is a filter not a folder. What does that mean?.You can't organize it. BUT you can organize your files with intention. REMOVE shared files by right clicking. Create shortcuts for where you do want the files to show up.

For the record, one thing you cannot do with #AI is expect reliable results on how to cook 2 lbs. of #bacon ~.Let's just say, unless you eat charcoal briquettes. Some days the "Artificial" in #ArtificialInteligence is real .
