Problem Solving
After reading the article on Minecraft, it seems like its a good tool to incorporate in a curriculum. It emphasizes reading, writing and problem solving skills. Problem solving is based on the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practices. Reading skills are based on Common Core Reading Strategies. I have seen it used as a supplement in an elementary computer literacy class. Unfortunately, I am unable to try it myself without purchasing it.:(
As mentioned problem solving involves Common Core 8 Mathematical Practices. Students will often face real life problem solving issues. The example in the article is true to life. Right now, I am in the process of deciding whether to purchase a Smartphone or Ipod for my teen age daughters. I have not reached a decision yet because I am weighing the pros verse the cons. Any suggestions?
I love the idea of create a How To on a wiki site. My students will use a Wiki site as their digital portfolio. I will add a page called "How To" for students to pose a screencast or instructions on problems they encounter in class.
