Initial Thoughts |
This page explores the use of Minecraft within assessment. I have been experimenting with the game, and learning how it works in anticipation of the possibility of using it in Physical Education and Health. My biggest challenge was the unknown; I do not react well to discovery learning and found it frustrating to not have all the answers to my queries at my fingertips! This learning experience has been very interesting for me and taught me a little about patience and perseverance. I have these skills in some aspect of my life, and clearly not in others!
Here is my screencast exploring some initial thoughts on Minecraft as a tool for learning.

My Assessment Creation
Here is my first creation on Minecraft in Teacher mode! This task is a method of assessment for students within the topic of CPR. Students will complete the maze by making the correct choices with regards to the correct sequence within CPR. They will be given additional information along the way, and will lead them on to their next challenge with Health, building a tree house for the Recovery Position.
