To say “My students and I are REALLY enjoying the opportunity to simulate the building of a MARS OUTPOST in MINECRAFT EDUCATION using MAKECODE” is to dramatically understate reality…

Mein #Minecraftedu - Lernpfad geht weiter.
Cyber Security und IT Fundamentals sind extrem wichtig für die nächste Generation und ich freue mich schon darauf diese Dinge in willige Köpfe zu klöppeln 🤓
🎮 Do uruchamiania #Minecraft polecam #PrismLauncher zamiast domyślnego. Dzięki niemu można instalować mody i modpacki z jego poziomu, bez konieczności szukania w internecie.
🎮💡 Kto powiedział, że #nauka musi być nudna? Dzięki grze #Minecraft możesz zdobywać umiejętności programowania i angielskiego w fascynujący sposób! 🌍🔠 Rozwijaj swoją kreatywność, rozwiązuj problemy i eksploruj wirtualne światy, jednocześnie zdobywając cenne umiejętności. 🚀🔥 Na początek spróbuj jedną z darmowych lekcji #HourOfCode! #MinecraftEdu #Programowanie #Angielski #Edukacja
In Mac OS Ventura (and possibly earlier versions,) Classroom Mode for Minecraft will not open. The fix is to go into the system security settings, scroll down near the bottom, and explicitly allow it. #edtech #STEM #STEAM #minecraftedu

Yesterday I visited my old school for the first time after I retired in June. Lovely to see colleagues and students! Some students begged me to do a LetsPlay on my YT channel (link in bio).
Question -- is this worth considering? I'm working on building out my "brand" for my ed consulting biz, and YT is part of that. I suck at playing games, but I love coding them. Would people watch me fumbling along? Or maybe a LetsCode series doing stuff live?
