Building Communities: Bloxtown Project
We have been working very hard together to create our Bloxtown World using MinecraftEdu. Students are so excited about this project, and I can't even tell you how awesome it is to sit back and watch them take over, work collaboratively and cooperatively, and truly LOVE what they're doing. I am so excited for you all to see the finished product. I look forward to another great week, and hopefully no more surprise days off. Please let me know if you have any questions.
